Firing a nova cannon requires no thrusting, but a ship can use its
drive and still fire its wave gun.  As far as screens go, I don't
put one on a ship with a wave gun instead opting for more armor 
and/or hull.  But then, I prefer 2 x 180 degree pulse torpedo 
launchers over a wave gun (better arcs, fire every turn, no exploding
when damaged, but they do require me to make dice rolls to hit).
I'm liking Phalon plasma bolts more and more as my to-hit dice 
rolls suck even more and more.

I'd rather watch baseball anyday than soccer; even the pitiful
Florida Marlins.
