	A friend of mine, Bill Walley, used to play in this big galactic
conquest play by mail game called Mobius III. In that game, you are
allowed
to design one ship and one ship only. You produce that design which has
to
do all of your fleet jobs. My friend built himself a dreadnought, which
as
I've said meant that his entire fleet consisted of dreadnoughts. The
joke
was that even though they were all exactly the same, they were classed
according to mission: hence, the Scout Dreadnought, the Colonization
Dreadnought, the Diplomatic Dreadnought, etc.
