Well, how can I turn down an offer like that? :-) Though you don't say
whether you're using the Fleet Books - FB1 rewrote the ship design rules
comprehensively, but your mention of needle missiles suggests that
you're using FT+MT. (See http://www.fullthrust.net/faq/index.html for
more information on this.)

If you _are_ using the Fleet Books: I'm the author of the Full Thrust 
Shiptools, which you can find at 
http://firedrake.org/roger/ft/shiptool.html . If you're using a system 
with Perl installed, download the small version; if you want a generic 
Windows executable, go for the large one. This package will produce 
record sheets for a fleet in Postscript format, as well as allowing 
ship design and modification with all FB1 and FB2 rules.

Note that this software is not under active development, because I'm
working on the replacement for it. I hope to have that available in a
few weeks' time.
