Start complaining then 8-)

So long as they don't change it to a FMA system, I'll be happy. I quite
like the idea of Mass being the only balance. Perhaps drives will take
up mass points. One thing is sure, the ships will need more capacity,
what with the growth in weapon size, additional equipment and drives
all to be fitted into the hull.

Not even close. I keep changing my mind on details 8-)

I have put my Klingon ships on my root web page (The first set to be
done.)
They are ziped and in Word 6 format.

Note klingons don't get damage control, but get extra capacity.
