	Wasn't there a similar concept (PDAF/ADAF having an anti-ship
ability) in the latest B5 FT adaptations? I don't remember what the rule
was
but it seemed like a good idea when I read it.

	Not that it has anything to do with anything but I also thought
the
inertialess drives idea from the B5 FT adaptations would be a good
addition
to Star Trek FT as warp drives are inertialess.

	Outta here,
