        Actualy I think that if were going to use spelljamming helms we
should have the nuber of helms^2 * 100 = tonage, 1 helm = 100 tons,  2 helms
= 400 tons (200 each), 3 helms = 900 tons (300 each), otherwise you would
need to have a 1/4 of a deck divoted to just the spellgaming room).
        But personaly I think that wee should leave the tecnology & races of
Star Trek just the way they are.
