FT: Marine carriers?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi folks,

just been looking at the full thrust ships in the catalogue, and am idly
contemplating using them for the vac-branch for my SG stuff :)

Nw, I'm using NAC for my SG games, but can't say I much like the NAC
designs for FT much; the bridges (?) extended on long necks strike me as
too StarTrek, and I can't imagine why anyone'd build a spaceship with
such
an obvious structural problem-waiting-to-happen. (Correct me if there is
a
very good reason for the long necks; i'm mildly curious)

I like the looks of the NSL and FSE ships. Is it remotely possible to
use
either and 'pretend' they're canon NAC with NAC specs or would this be
ludicrous? (I'm not too bothered here, I wouldn't much mind using the
stats for the FSE designs or NSL designs)

I haven't played FT and only have the basic rules. So I'm curious if
either NAC, NSL or FSE has very significant disadvantages to be aware
of?

And now, back to the topic of the post... Are there any ship designs
that
are specifically designed as marine interface operation ships? I'm
thinking support for landing operations, orbital fire support etc? Mmm.
What's the largest class of ship that can do atmospherical maneuvering?

Cheers,

   Derk
