That would be me.

I pulled it up a couple of months ago, and I want to drag it out again.
The
big issue is that if you want fairly realistic naval combat, you need
non-linear weapon damage (i.e. the chance of doing damage at close range
versus long range is not linear). Full Thrust's beams are linear. I
think I
have a way around this, but it needs some testing.
