C batteries / PDAF

  Why not design some ships for your wife?  Anyway, PDAFs are easy to
replace with C batteries because they have the same weight but you'll
be harder pressed to find something to do with the ADAFs.  I don't
think replacing them with A batteries will preserve the
characteristics the designer intended the ship to have.  On the other
hand, it might add more violence and chaos to the game - always a
positive option.
