Mk,
     Thanks for the comments.	Now to add a comment that is almost off
topic:	 I do not know about anyone else, but my gaming is once a month
for about 6 hours.   The thought of spending the day trying to maneuver
for a 1 or 2 point shot every 5 or 6 turns just doesn't make my heart
go pitter-patter. (If this was the real world and I had a ship and
lives hanging on my actions, that is a totally different story.)
     The current project for the July/August meeting is a 20,000+
point Kra'Vak and NAC shootout, I think this game will be completed
in less than three hours, start to finish.

     Comments logically extending the SML techmology:
1) Mount an SML warhead on a standard FT missile.
2) Arm the rockets of a submunition pack with the SML mini-charges.

     Well, if nothing else, the list is talking space combat again!

Bye for now,
John L.
