You came to a dead stop, took one point of hull damage,and that was it -
we were being merciful!

Corey whipped up the designs, and he's off-line right now, but this is
from memory:

Greyhound - Thrust 10, 2xB1, 1 FC, 8 Hull.
Whippet - T 8, 3xB1 (?), 1 FC, 10 (12?) Hull.
Bulldog - T6, 1xB2, 2xB1, 1 FC, 12 or 16 Hull.

Cost and actual Mass I don't know, but I think around 30 Mass for all
three. I could reverse engineer, I guess...

The course was on a roughly 6x6 table, and was a figure-8, with two
diamond shaped impenetrable barriers providing the insides of the '8'.
The
seven 'gates' (corners of the 8, and the middle crossing gate) were
about
15 inches wide; the middle gate might have been a bit wider.
