Re: [GZG] And now for something completely different... and maybe even

   Sounds ok to me.  I don't think that K-guns are particularly unbalanced, 
 especially without advanced drives.

   Me, myself, and I, I am in the process of painting up the AM-Rep 
 battlecruiser as a UN "stealth battleship".  I think it looks wonderfully like
 a new UN collaboration with the NI where the UN employs some of the NI tech.
 Loaded with grazers, ER-PT's, and a single level of stealth hull (where
 appropriate  :-) ), it's the heaviest warship assigned to the UN "Black ops"
 deep penetration division.
