You mean your group decided that one veto overrules the majority?
Interesting.  And you also have someone who insists on his own way
when everyone else wants to try a different option?  Hm...

How about having high, medium, and low initiative (or "skill") ships,
which fire simultaneously within their intiative class?
How about rolling for initiative for each ship or squadron?
How about assigning each ship to a card and drawing from the deck?
How about do whatever you like?  That *is* part of the rules, by the
way, and if y'all have a brilliant idea, maybe Jon'll incorporate it
into FB3.  Which is due out Real Soon Now...certainly before
BDS--right, Jon?
