	Major Opps. That should be $5 billion for the first 6! I knew
some thing
was wrong. Fully kitted out with things that go bang that should bring
them
to around a billion each. Going with these numbers a space light crusier
would be $2 billion. Say thats 200 pts or 200 000 000 credits and the
figures come out at 1 to 10 when compared to dollars (so how did I get
this
in the first place?). Its far too late!
