Think of it as exorcising the email equivalent of a terrible accent ;)

>I proposed, some time ago, freighter which could operate as
>armed merchantmen with the addition of weapons modules...

All of which looks grand and very sensible, but doesn't really answer my
question about how you think screens may even vaguely work ;)

Also sounds like a good idea and is how I imagined the various variants
of
the FB designs had come about (sorta anyway).

Cheers

Beth - who will endeavour to be more idiom free for your convenience ;)
