I know the feeling :)

Really?  My thought was that once the Scats were gone (they are one
shots
after all) one fighter squadron and some patience could destroy an
entire
Kra'Vak fleet.	I thought the heavy fighters would be ideal for this
(extra survivability).	

By the way, what would be considered a "large" fleet battle?

I just bought a model of DS9 (that star trek thing) that measures about
40cm across and looks great beside my FT models, it actually "looks" to
scale (although I'm sure the "actual" scale is way off).  So, what is
the
largest Station anyone has designed?  Every time I sit down to work on
one
I get a little dizzy ;)

Have any points systems been more accepted than others?  Could someone
(re) post them, if that would not be too much of a pain of course.

Has anyone come up with campaign rules for Full Thrust?

I'm sorry about all these silly newby type questions, but I just got to
ask.   :)
