It's not space combat, but what would the SG stats for a worm look like
?

I liked the ending. It was a massive deus ex machina resolution, but it
wrapped
up as well as any ending I can imagine.

I hope to go through all five books and take notes on space combat
sometime
soon.

Hmmm. 1 thrust = 2 G (keeps the faster ships inside the FT range)

combat wasps will be a bit tricky. Most of the action of space combat
seems to
be swarms of wasps trying to get by each other so they can get at the
ships.
The numbers Hamilton gives are consistent enough that something playable
is
possible (unlike some books).
