I think the original Heinlein line is "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch" (TANSTAAFL).

Not to be confused with Niven's TANJ (or "There Ain't No Justice").

BTW - on the larger ships, the master computer can actually be cheaper than all the bridge/lifesupport/crewquarters. And once you get to Master Computer III, they only take up 20kT of space, which leaves more room for other stuff...

While I would not be surprised if Heinlein did indeed use the phrase, I belive it has been in Physics and Engineering circles long before that.
I understand it refers to the rudiments of Newtonian Physics. I am not well versed so I culd be wrong.

As for that design of a ship? I would not go that far, but wouln't surprise another human player? I Wonder if Growltigga will get wind of this.
A fleet of Battle Crusiers with Cap Ship Missles and its own figher cover would be an interesting challenge.
Thanks for the info.
