  Yes, there needs to be checks on what can be bought in what proportions
depending on racial and organizational appropriateness.  The whole thing
needs to be thought out more, perhaps using limits on ship purchases
according to "Ships by Race" chart in WCC (maybe doubling cost on those
bought off the racial preferences) etc..  But the Ship's Ton=1 pt. seems a
good universal baseline.  Maybe a purchasing list for each faction involved?
 Lotta work.  Or it could go the simplified route for ease of play, no
heroes, trained scavvers or kindori, just ships with extras assumed to be
built in, but that seems kinda bland.  What say you all?
  It'll depend on how detailed the gaming gets.  It could range anywhere from
being a glorified Risk or Axis-n-Allies game to each sphere having a
particular "Sphere Master" who coordinates all players occupying or invading
into.  I like the latter approach using Westermeyer's sphere chart and maybe
a Phlo Master or two.  It gives some quirkiness to each sphere depending on
who runs it as well as autonomy of how detailed the playing there will be.
  Another question, turns? Standard month?  Year?
