Yeah.  I agree completely.  If people are willing to agree on about how
many fighters they want their game to have, we don't need to have this
conversation.  I think it's pretty much necessary in playing with FB1
ships with strangers; I'm only throwing out the logistics limit as a way
to keep the rules lawyers at bay and still have the fleet book ships
"make sense".  On the other hand, if you want to take all the gloves off
with custom ships with no such limitations (implied or quantified), I
think it needs to be implicitly understood that the winning ships won't
look like the stuff in the fleet books.
