Well I am interested in all sorts of squadron types. As we start out we 
will probably stick with the FT ship designs. Any new ships we(I) might 
come up with will probably be as close to the original idea as I can
get..

I kinda like the idea of a defence bonus for unused thrust as mass as 
such wouldn't be a problem as computer controlled firesystems wouldn't 
care much for that, but recalulating target positions would pose a 
bigger challenge (not much probably, but perhaps enough to warrant the 
modifiers). But before changing any rules in order to proper use my 
light ships I will try a few games first. We intend to start with 
corvettes, frigates and light cruisers anyway before bringing in the 
heavy equipment!

Thanks everyone for your input.. don't stop discussing though, it's 
always nice to see what your intelligent minds come up with on this list
:)
