One thing I have FINALLY noticed, is in the More Thrust book. There is
somethings missing! I haven't gotten around to studying those ship diagrams
until now...
On page 23, the ship diagrams, What is the circle with the black triangle
supposed to represent? It is found in the Strikeboat, and the Lancer. The
other symbol is found on the Privateer and Needle Cruiser ships. It looks like
a filled in circle with a black line sticking out.
I have flipped through both books without success. They only appear on the
ship diagrams mentioned.
Suggestion: In ALL future versions of the game, please provide a "Master
Symbol Chart" That listed every symbol ever used.
Thanks

Gosh that was a fast response! I only posted the question an HOUR ago, and
here are three answers! I love this list!

Not sure about this one off hand. I forget. It could be a Submunition Pack now
that I think about it. Have a look in the Full Thrust rulebook in the section
on designing your own ships. There is a frame in there that explains the mass
and points cost with the symbol drawn next to it.

That one's easy! That's a needle beam!

Nope. The symbols for More Thrust are printed next to the system's description
and in Full Thrust, there is that frame I mentioned above in the Ship Design
section.

This is a good idea. Like the one printed in the EFSB above the Minbari War
Cruiser.

Nope. Look at the table "Symbols for Weapons from Advanced Rules", FT
p.30.
The circle with the black triangle is a SubMunition Pack and the black circle
with line is a Needle Beam.

Both weapons are facing specific and should point toward the proper firing
arc.
The symbols appear on page 30 of FT under Advanced Ship Design.
Someone generated a master symbol list a while back and put it on a website,
but I don't remember the URL. Hopefully someone on the list has a copy. (I use
a CAD prog to draw my ships and haven't done all the symbols, yet.)
