	That's a game I'd wanted to design myself.

	What action!  A Orion Drive battleship ambushing
	a Bussard Ramjet.

	With Orion, trivial things like conserving every gram of
	spaceship mass are a thing of the past.
	That monsterous ship lifted off carrying a huge load of
	nuke pumped x-ray laser submunitions, all of the Space
	Shuttles, and a small fleet of hastily designed space fighters.

	It could have carried the main batteries from the battleship
	New Jersey if it wanted.
