I've put some more ship designs (built using shipbits and kravakbits)
for Full Thrust Fleet Book on my website--

http://rwhofrichter.webprovider.com/index.htm

Just click on the Full Thrust Fun link then go to the Shipyard page.

There are Indonesian, FSE, NSL, NAC, and Kra'Vak -style designs there.
Comments, as always, are welcome.

If you'd like--and if they are in the same format as mine, I'll create a
Kra'Vak only page and move everything there (eventually).

Dagnabit--I thought I had posted the up-to-date bitmap.  Evidently, I
used the wrong one for the Indonesians.

And yes, I know about umluats (but since I didn't use them elsewhere in my
page, I figured I shouldn't start on the ships either).

As for Morganstern versus Morgenstern, I picked the spelling up out of an
old reprint of a Victorian-era weapons' book.  I will update to the "E"
spelling of course.

Regarding the other design snafus, I'll correct these hopefully by the end of
the week.

As for the Kra'Vak launcher comments--I meant VERY confined, but since
most of the GZG figures that have missile launchers show an exhaust port on
the back end, I'm not sure how accurate your assumption is that most if not
all human launchers would have this capability also. Additionally, I don't see
folks developing more specialised rounds--I think the trend would be
toward
very generalized sords of ammo--especially given the possible supply
line problems that interstellar warfare would probably create.

Anyhow, thanks for the comments.

Quite accurate <g> All of today's CS-capable LAWs (in the "fire from
office cubicle"-sense) - eg. AT4CS, Armbrust, Javelin, just to name a
few (OK, Javelin is more of an ATGM than a LAW, but it's man-portable
and claims CS capability) - have visible rear exhaust ports, but their
back blasts aren't strong enough to harm the shooter. He'll need earplugs and
ear baffles with most of these weapons in order to avoid
ringing ears, but that's true for today's assault rifles as well :-/.

I do see folks developing more specialised rounds because each type of target
gets progressively harder and harder to kill which makes a "combined" round
progressively less effective compared to the specialised ones. However, if
they do use a "one type fits all
situations" round exclusively, it will definitely be CS-capable.
