The Tico's I have in my possesion do have the "turrety-thing", and on
the
top of the hull (from the way I mounted them), so it's a relief that I
have
got them facing the right way (I somehow must of missed the turret when
checking the diagram in FB1). I know that there is no up and down in
space,
I was more worried about the apparent lack of formation discipline
within
the NAC and the snide remarks that this would cause amongst the crews of
my
NSL Battlegroup ;-)

On a side issue, can any one tell me the escort classes and numbers in
the
UNSC and Japanese Battle Squadron offers from GZG.
