I'd agree with this last point, but it might be interesting to see
what fleet configurations other people use.

Well, my own ship designs are already in electronic form, and as soon
as I get the time to make use of the 5MB of web space Demon have so
kindly given me, the designs for my Neu Swabian League ships will be
made public. Of course, I make no claims that my designs are any more
official or better than anyone elses (hey, they can't be official
because I don't even use GZGs names for the ship types!).

Why? Actually I know why, I just don't necessarily agree. Restricting
use of A batteries on raider, private or otherwise 'backward' fleets
yes, but I don't agree with doing so for the major human fleets.

Of course, others may disagree...
