So, on topic.

I have finally found several people interested in FT. I'm going to start them
out each with a similar fleet.

The Fleet sheet can be seen at:

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Nice enough.

You might want more space for writing orders.

I think you need to re-do the arcs of your class 2's.  Other than that,
well done for recruiting

:D

I don't like asymmetric ship designs, they are seriously unlikely to convince
your board of admiralty, [Unless they are Italian, and then you get turrets
forward port and starboard stern.]. Switch the Beam 2's on the smallest ships
to being front 180 rather than sloped and angle the port 2's on the larger to
a port slope instead of the starboard one.

Other wise they look fine mostly. The escorts are a little fragile for their
payload, unless you are going to introduce the damage control rules from the
outset. The ships are a bit heavy on PDF perhaps, especially if they are being
fought against each other.
