FT: Ships and the CNP

Pity that the larger scale Bab 5 stuff is too big, some of it's pretty
cool 
looking.

Well, I've decided to start playing FT, and also to pursue the Council
of 
Native Peoples idea, since so far I've received positive feedback.  I
have 
still to decide which North, Central, and South American Indian peoples
to 
include.  Some of the tribes in the Amazon basin are still pretty close
to 
stone-age, their assimilation into the CNP might be the big challenge.

As for the navy, I've decided that a few of their aging ships, as well
as 
their few BIG capital ships, will be NAC in design, but the newer stuff
will 
be of their own design.  This is because I went to the Geo-Hex website
and 
quite frankly, was unattracted to the NAC ships esthetically.  The
answer 
for me personally seems to be to go with ships that LOOK different, but 
functionally are identical to their NAC counterparts.  This will allow
me to 
use existing designs, but buy figs that I like the look of.  Eventually,

once I play the game for a while, I'll start designing my own, I
suppose.

Now all I have to do is get up to Portland, or get out to EWEB here, and

talk someone into playing FT.  Anyone out there need a sucker er.... an 
opponent?  Or anyone willing to teach me to PBEM?
