I agree we need UN ships, and I'd like to see/get some UN ships, be it
these or another design scheme (I'm partial to some of the Brigade minis
that I've seen as being UN ships - esp the Sharon Class light cruiser,
which I need to get some of! - as they seem to have a nice mix of basic
NSL, NAC, FSE, ESU design philosophies going through their ships, with
some other design types thrown in for good measure). I think that the UN
industrial base will have grown fairly rapidly in the interim from when
they were borrowing ships from other powers to current. But that's my
opinion. :)  I'm just surprised that since the IF have gotten their own
line of ships Noam hasn't piped up clamboring for NI ships...  ;-)
