Ah, who says you want to?  I'm not saying it's on purpose -- though I'm
keeping my eyes peeled ^_- -- but it looks like it's happening,
nonetheless.

Though I suppose my dice may just be out of training. ^_^;

Yeah, but that's *you* rolling the dice, my biggest problem with the
premise behind Showdown... I think we should all gather at one place --
I
nominate Beth's, I've always wanted to visit down there ^_^ -- and play
the
battle live. <grin>  (Hey, I can dream....)

Besides -- if Indy's hitting with pulse torps, doesn't that invalidate
one
of the reasons you list for going to GZG-ECC?  (And does Indy know
you're
using it? ^_^ )

Well, no, but then Romany Star is nearly out of it, and Buda's
completely
gone.  As are my escorts.  (Okay, Pip's out too.  Beth is the only one
left
with a full fleet....)

LAUNCH DAY!
A totally unprovoked attack on peaceful neighbors. Must be the race 
file. Does strange things.
