    I've just been playing Twilight Imperium this Sunday afternoon (I
nearly
won!), and I've been thinking about using it for campaigns for Full
Thrust:
Fleet Book, too. I think that three credits should allow for more than
just
one light cruiser. That's because carriers (costing 10 credits) can
carry so
much. Carriers in Twilight Imperium can carry, if I recall correctly,
between 8-10 ground or fighter units.
    So I think the conversion ratio should be more than 1 credit = 50
points. Possibly, 1 credit = 500 or maybe even 1,000 points.
    Any other opinions, ideas, comments?
