Vainly hoping that the local phone system will re-establish internet
connectivity for the entire university sometime today, I ask someone
to mail me directly if they have a valid-seeming Beijing/B ADFC varient,
mentioned in the FB.

I tried using Jared's re-work of Schoon's XLS worksheet, but either
the boat's too small or too big for a varient rather than an overhaul.

My thanks to both Tony and Oerjan for clearing up my confusion. And
laziness. ;->= I will take Fleet Book in hand, backward engineer several
designs, so I will be more confident of running my own manually.

As it was, I ended up flying NSL rather than ESU. Bad move on my part. Okay,
okay, the BAD move on my part was running slow and predicable, but I REALLY
could have used those 6 PDS's. The NSL's armor is very nice, all right, but
when Hobie's normally cursed dice start rolling FSE SML's a preponderance of
6's, you need fewer SM's, not more places to take damage. *shudder*
