I didn't know you (Roger) were working on the Japanese Faction. I also created
SSDs for the Japanese and placed them on the Full Thrust Yahoogroup site. I
had talked to Vince about the Japanese. BTW, nice write up, I thought they
would be more "corporate" as well. I think my vision had them really far over
to a corporate government almost guild
house-esque. My designs were Pulse Torp centric and use of
Mecha-fighters. I have mulled over the rules for Mecha and would love to
discuss them. Regarding the IJN or IJSF, Kaigun translates to Navy, but
literally, it translate to "ocean force" or "ocean military group". Since, I'm
not Japanese nor am I fluent, my attempt was "Teikoku Uchuugun" or Imperial
Space Force with "Japan" being implied. Anyone have the DVDs for Star Blazers?
Maybe some hints there. Like I said, I'm not fluent, so I don't know if
"Uchuugun" even makes sense. I find this fascinating, in that, there does not
appear to be as much motivation for working on other f!
actions
(think that the minis may something to do with that). I have also worked on
second generation OUDF ships, something that is a little more

Thanks, Ken! That's more like what I had in mind, though I don't think TU
would necessarily be the best fit. For reasons I can't completely explain, KM
for KriegsMarine on WWII German ships never seemed right; partially, I
suppose, because the German navy was Kaiserlische Marine, but the ships
were SMS name-of-ship....
Would Imperial Spaceforcenavy Ship produce an acronym that would offend?
...Ship of the Imperial Spaceforcenavy?

I like your ships, Mr Wang!
I'm intrigued by the design philosphy; can you elaborate?
I'm thinking I may try the 'std arc' shipz tonight, if FT is what we decide to
play. AAR if relevant.
