Agree.

I used the concept of auxilary merchant cruisers
(from the NSL) converted at a secret base to provide
the basis of the easy FCT breakaway from the NAC.
Plus the FCT loyalists in the NAC fleet would have 
caused the NAC to become a second of third rate
power should a battle have taken place.

My concept came with a complete shipbuilding and
refit yard around one of the planets.	Due to
its location on the map this is reasonable.

I tend to agree with you here, as I prefer slightly
faster ships and do use P-torps, I perfer the BDN
size for flexability.

Bye for now,
