More work to prepare.  Now you need to make SDS with plastic covers and
make 
sure you have all the pens you need.  I like to keep it simple, but
using 
colored pens does have a certain appeal to it.

It doesn't appear my emails are getting through...  I mentioned earlier
that 
we use "/" for damaged and "X" for destroyed to differentiate between 
repairable damage and systems destroyed by needle weapons.  Very simple
and 
it works.

We can come up with a ton of different ways to symbolize this, but I
would 
prefer to keep it simple and not require special accesories like colored

pens.  It would make a nice enhancement, but should not be a requirement
to 
play.
