It seems like I got a 11x17 map with something like 1/8 inch hexes. 
This would be good for planning and mapping...

Its too heavy. The component for moving from Fleet Action Scale to 
Ship Action Scale will be a rough clock face bearing and the speeds 
will probably have a fixed scale if you are at 1 hex per turn then 
you can have a speed of 0-5 MU/turn entry....

I fully envision games where astute players will have Kra'Vak running 
them down to keep the rail guns at longer reaches while the Kra'Vak 
are forced to brave a larger duration of accurate Beam fire before 
they are able to get into closer Railgun range.

Not yet. I need to get a camera at some point so I can take lots of 
photos and get them up.
