Here's the first draft of the complete decal set. The sheet will be just under
8" wide (1/4 of a standard letter sixe page)
Of course, the text will be printed in white, but I left it black for clarity.

I didn't add another cruiser designation, but I did add the strike carrier. I
also added two battlecruisers and two unknowns (X-1 and X-2) just to
fill the space.
Thoughts?

I don't know if you really need to have the '-1' and '-2' on there. I
could just as easily steal them from some of the transports I didn't use. Plus
you may not want to include the dashes with the extra numbers since the letter
codes already have a dash, then you have room for more numbers.
They are also a bit smaller than I thought. I have seen 1/4" tall
lettering used on bases and that is a bit big. From the gif, these look like
they
will end up a bit less than 1/8" tall. I'd prefer them to be a bit
larger
than 1/8" tall but that is me, listen to the rest of the list and see
what they want too.

My feeling was that the dask would make it easier to line it up with the ID
code. In general, I've been making sacrifices in versitility for ease of use,
perhaps it's time to move slightly the other direction?

I'll print out a test sheet tomorrow and give the actual (as printed) size of
the letters. Plus I'll bring in a base and "dry fit" one to see how it
looks...
