Andrew's ships

Hi

Tom M showed me these ships I believe Andrew has devised. Wow. Some
are... a
bit overdone... but they are certainly all food for thought. An interesting
cross-genre excercise, though I'd be curious to see him bring a Borg
Cube (my estimate on size would be something on the order of would be a cube
about 8" on a side....) to an FT game. I'm actually thinking a
multi-stage/sector base design might be more appropriate since the cube
is so large it probably merits segmentation.

I just wanted to bring up two comments out:

Shouldn't the Red Dwarf have some fighters? They had Starbugs which are armed.
Maybe 1 squadron?

I also noted the absence of one of the more interesting looking ships of SF:
The Liberator from Blake 7. I couldn't begin to suggest stats for it (been a
while since I've seen the show on PBS) but I'm sure some of the Brits on our
list might have some insights. I have the Corgi mini of it somewhere... IIRC
it looks like it would be about mass 60-80 range (though not having it
to hand, I'm making a bit of a WAG).

Lastly, (unrelated), Congrats to Schoon on doing so well at SNCO Academy. It's
the senior NCMs that make any armed force function. Here's a virtual textbook
salute!
