I liek the idea of relatively near future ships. Possibly part of a 
'Solar Thrust' line perhaps; big honking reaction drives, rotational 
sections, etc. I do hope DP9 does their own, maybe if Lightning 
Strike does well they'll reconsider (nb, LS works at a very different 
level of abstraction from anything else I've seen, so the oddities 
(like their pseudo vector system, which can be removed) are 
consistent with the internal model.
