As far as screens go, I don't put one on a ship with a wave gun instead opting for more armor and/or hull. But then, I prefer 2 x 180 degree pulse torpedo launchers over a wave gun (better arcs, fire every turn, no exploding when damaged, but they do require me to make dice rolls to hit). I'm liking Phalon plasma bolts more and more as my to-hit dice rolls suck even more and more. Re: soccer vs baseball I'd rather watch baseball anyday than soccer; even the pitiful Florida Marlins.
