     Well, I was in one of the 'Starship' games last month.
The ships come in sizes 'by the inch', so any ship can be used
simply by measuring the length. 
     The prototypes are scratchbuilt and measure 1'' to 5' in
length.  

     I was able to convince the authors to change some of the 
procedures to speed and simplify play.	Some changes will also
be made in the processes of targeting and weapons effects.

     More weapons types are available for the game the are in FT,
they are more detailed and the effects of targeting and firing 
are more complex than FT.   The system is more akin to the 
Japanese 'Yamato' and other cartoon Sci=Fi programs.

I have not tried the system since the revisions.

Bye for now,
