Lots of VERY good idea here, Tom, thanks for those. Don't worry, the 
Ixx worldships were never meant (in my mind anyway) to be a "cosmic 
sledgehammer" as you so effectively put it! The reason for making 
them nomadic in the first place was simply so that they could show up 
on the scene "now" in the timeline, having not been encountered 
before by Humans,  K'V or Phalons (who knows WHAT the S'V know or 
think, they're not telling...). They're not a new "big nasty", just 
another race that adds to the fun of things in the few hundred years 
(?) that their great fleet of worldships may take to cross the 
GZG-verse region of space.

This is all developing quite nicely....  ;-)
