Agreed

I'd rather not have this in FB3. It was unbalancing before, and I don't
see
any change. However, if its mechanic were changed to something more
quantifiable, it could be properly balanced.

..and very nice ships they are. This wouldn't prevent Brigade from
publishing something similar (Tony?)

I'd say 24" move with a 2 (3?) turn endurance, but homes on a specific
target. That way fighter don't automatically eat them for lunch

I do at least.

GZG makes

No. That's not necessary. By the time it's out, there will be more
ships.

>What about a goal time - say Christmas?

I have no idea what you've been smoking ;-) A more realistic goal might
be
Christmas of NEXT YEAR. These books take quite alot of time and effort
to
put together.
