Here is a new ship type.  It was created by the dwarves and is similar
to the flitter in function.

<description snipped>

Built to resemble a huge throwing axe, these ships travel through
space handle first. The ballistia is located atop the shaft next to
the aze blade, mounted upon a turret, so it can fire in a 360o arc.
Although
the axe blade is locate away from ships it is approaching, the dwarven
pilots have developed a swinging method of ramming that brings the axe
around to crush the enemy's ship.

I hope there's some way to warn the ballista crew that the ship is about
to swing, or there will be a lot of wild shots going who knows where.
(Being able to turn the ballista only helps if you know you need to turn
it.)   But that's a minor point.  Overall, I like this ship.

Leah
