Haven't had time to look at them, I'm afraid. Playtesting - sorry, test
shooting - at work has kept me too busy for that.

Um... does this mean that a ship can grow by tens of tons in ten
minutes? That's *lots* of energy, that is... at least if the old E=mc^2
applies to the SV :-/

Hm. Depending on how large BSSs can become, this may or may not be a
problem. Brian Burger proposed counter-varying HP and energy (fragile
hulls had *lots* of energy) and regenerative abilities, which meant
that a stronger-hulled ship was pretty much unable to kill a
weaker-hulled one unless it did so in a single salvo... otherwise the
weaker-hulled ship out-regenerated the stronger-hulled one. As I said I
haven't looked at your rules, but it's something to watch out for.
