Since everyone and their brother is doing cross-over ships, here is

(use as tractor beam)

Notes:
The Argo contains 30 Black Tiger starfighters, and one Cosmo-Zero
starfighter (the Deputy Captain's personal fighter).

All repair difficulties to the Argo are easy to moderate, regardless of

actual damage. Also repair times are cut by half.

Astrogration takes twice as long to compute, but can be done in a

gravity well. An error will result in damage to the ship

The Asteroid defence ring can be employed in an asteroid belt, or where

the is enough space debris. The Shock Cannons fire special shells
with explode and imbed metalic shrapnel into the surrounding
asteroids. Powerful magnetic generators can form a ring surrounding the
ship. The ring can be used to block incoming enemy fire (Asteroid defence
ring operation, use like a brawl/melee Perry). The asteroids can be
pulled into the ship, covering it and disgusing it.

Let the flames begin! (Actualy I just hope people >REMEMBER< Star
Blazers. Even if you dont, please say yes, so I dont feel so old...)
