I plan to use Visio to create SSDs. Visio resources by Alan Goodall are 
available at http://www.ftsr.org/ft\display\visio.html

Then group them 4-6 to a page.
Number them to match the numbers on the minis.
Print and cut into individual SSDs.
Provide the SSD with the mini.
Provide each player a record sheet for recording moves (handles multiple

ships).

I am also in the process of placing .gif and visio versions of
non-official 
ships on the Registry.
