Re: Why big ships are too good...

as much as I agree with you, I think this is the wrong attitude to take
when designing a game. Life isn't fair, but the idea behind a game is to
spend some time having fun, trying new things,etc... that gets ruined if
the game mechanic isn't balanced (to some degree).

Mind you, this isn't a bash on scenario gaming (which i do almost
exclusively nowadays), I'm just saying that I think a game where 1000
points of 100 ton ships is more or less equal to 1000 pts of 4 ton ships
is a "better" game then one where they are vastly unequal.

of course, I've got very limited gaming experience with Full Thrust, so
these are just based on my observations so far...
