> David, just out of curiosity: What models do you use for your photos?
I know I wasn't asked, but the ones at
http://www2.dynamite.com.au/aebrain/FT/INDEX.HTM
are all to the same scale. From different manufacturers as
noted, forex http://www2.dynamite.com.au/aebrain/FT/ft_ca1.jpg
are by Galoob, Gamescience, and TSG.

Well, Alan, I DID mention you first thing when the rules question came up.

David, as you can see by the generated posts, there's a great interest in
this, and you'd be doing us all a big favor if you caption your piccies.
I've a question or two about the B5/UN page, but I'll be patient.

Depends too much on the thrust mechanics. If a rocket with a plume, we could
be talking
detection at a range of Light Years if a matter/
antimatter fusion torch.

That is, if you're willing to wait years for the info, which is why they're
called light years. ;->=
This hasn't been discussed so far that I've noticed; natch, we're all assuming
that an oncoming ship would be way slower, relatively, than the light coming
from it in a combat situation. Least, I am, though if something coming at me
at near lightspeed, it'd almost be on me before I could 'see' it.
I've tended to assume a subspace sensor system, which might well have a
limited range, but would be fast enough for reasonable firing solutions.
However, I still think we're giving too much credence to current technology's
advantage to detection, while I can imagine, though not explain, a shift in
the other direction.

Until I do, here is an explanation of each miniature (or picture the miniature
designed to
look like in the case of the UN ships -- some
have pictures from books or tv) in order left to right top to bottom.
