Inspired by the SDF (I think that's what the Starship was called) in the
series Robotech, I've been toying with the idea of using Battletech
miniatures to represent Starships in Full Thrust. They would represent
HUGE robots, the Assault and Heavy 'Mechs representing Capital ships,
Medium Mechs representing Cruisers, and Light Mechs representing
escorts. Then I'd use the plastic Space Marine 6mm powered infantry
from GW as Fighter Groups. Never actually translated the thought from
my
head to the game though...
