I'd also like to see a spinal weapon of some sort - the EFSB style
weapon recently
discussed on the list would be a candidate.

It's something that's vaguely crossed my mind, but the not-so-little
matters of
copyright and intellectual property would need to be sorted out. It
would have to
be something along the lines of an 'Approved For Use With ...'
publication, and I
have no idea whether or not St^3 Jon would want to get into that area
(Jon ?).
Plus, of course, it would be out of date very rapidly given our tendency
to release
new models. And finally, we don't make NI ships, we make SemFed ones ;-)
