I can see and understand this.	I guess I'm just lucky in that the 
majority of my FT games have been designed by a GM.  I've only played a 
few "you take N points and so will I" type of games-- but those ships 
were from the Fleet Books.  I've played in one game where it was "take 
N points and design your fleet."

Side Question: Has anyone tried to build a fighter group design 
subsystem?  Something where you could shake-n-bake a flight to your 
specifications?  Probably a topic for another discussion.
