Both sound suggestions, unfortunately the biggest problem to wrestle
with is how to do it without making the FB ships look like they were
designed by complete dummies (the NSL in particular). Fine line to tread
unfortunately. It may seem justified to say that vector is optional in
the first place so if changing it seems to wreck some designs well
that's the price you pay for playing the optional rule, but when over a
3rd of FT players say they only play vector (based on the many polls on
the topic) it gets harder to keep that line of argument up ;)
