Re: New IF ships

When will you have book designs for the UN?
My philosophy for them was screen 1, lots of
beams, fairly tough, decent air defense. 

(http://home.earthlink.net/~dwgriffin/un.jpg)

but I'd like to have book designs because
we occasionally play book games.

Whatever you do though, I recommend when you
do come up with book SSDs you give them more
air defense than book ships typically have.

Maybe you could put out a few SSDs provisionally
so we could playtest them and so we could see
where you're going with the ships.
