Sheets are harder, but with Palm Pilots and such, it will be easier to check
designs before a game. No, I don't have one, but they do seem popular at work.

But you are right, for the most part players are on thier honor about ship
designs for one-offs or Bring-Your-Own-Fleet games.

For scenarios, providing ship designs is the way to go.

Currently at 225 FB style designs and 210 2nd Ed style designs. Most (if not
all) of these designs should be legal now (thanks to Oerjan). **Shameless Plug

Take a serious look at the Handspring Visor if you're in the market for a pda.
It uses the same OS as the Palms (under license) and has external expansion
for a variety of modules with more on the way.

I've seen some intersting apps for the Palms for things like dice rolling, and
the possibilty of record sheets on a palm is a very intreguing one to me. If
anybody wants to team together to develop something like this, let me know,
I'll join in to help out as much as I can.

Anyway, thats all for now

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about the randomness of the die
rollers. Of course, I haven't seen what anyone is using so I could be wrong...

Love to, as soon as I finish my.gzf perl module (I have everything done up to
fighter resolution phase) and finish a character generator for a homebrew RPG
(again, almost done). Oh, and I need to print those 4x5 negs I shot near
Highlands NC, and...
