Re: Limits on armour? and Full Steam

It's only a problem if you play custom fleets.	If you play custom
ships...

Human weapons are usable by any fleet.	Throw those P-Torps on that ESU
cruiser and
shock your opponent.

We had 4 players with different fleets.  The house rule was you had to
play
the same
designs versus everyone.  It kept design balanced.  You can accomplish
the
same
thing by allowing complete redesign every time so you don't know what
you
will be facing.
