Re: [OFFICIAL] Where we're going from here...[LONG RAMBLE!!]

Thanks, it's always nice to know where we're heading.

A few notes for the fleetbook:

I'm one of those who originally criticized it... but reading your notes,

I think I will buy it once it comes out. It's simply a question of how 
much usable stuff there is for me.

So, optional rules and ready designs I can and will use, whatever you 
call those ships, but a 20-page essay on the 3rd NAC-ESU war, fluff 
short stories etc. are not very high on my list.

Just:

a) PLEASE double-check all designs. I haven't seen glaring errors from 
you, but several other publishers frequently print examples that can not

be replicated under their own rules. Keep up the standard you've had so
far.

b) PLEASE no nation/race-specific "freebie" bonuses in designs. Or if 
you must include such, please write them so the ship is still usable
(and 
book-legal) in generic environment. E.g. "NAC PDAF's get +1 to hit" 
rather than "NAC PDAF's weigh only XXX and cost only YYY". With the 
former, I can just take the ship and ignore the nation-specific bonus, 
with the latter, the entire design is useless.
