RE: Ship Class Nomenclature

Perhaps not.  There really should be a "Box" class freighter for the
cheaper wares.	"Port" might be nomenclature reserved for "heavy or
fortified" versions of classes.  "Cognac" might be used for "distilled"
classes that pack more "punch" than their size would normally indicate.

Also just think of the jibes if you lose to such a fleet: "You were
thrashed by a Dom Perignon '69 and a Magnum of Cabernet"

It also leads to a new type of game with higher stakes - instead of
ships, you play with actual (full)wine bottles - kills are claimed as
victory spoils.
