Those are the easy ones.
Anybody with the ones I missed?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Umm... it would be much better to use the actual acromnyms that the game uses for ship sizes, instead of an external mechanism.

Hey, you missed B5!!! Can't forget Babylon 5. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Does having B5 make it fair to have Farscape? FS.
Or any of the Star trek series?

ST:TNG, Star Trek The Next Generation
ST:V, Star Trek Voyager
ST:DSP, Star Trek Deep Space Nine
ST:E, Star Trek Enterprise
ST:TOS, Star Trek The Original Series

Don't ask me why I'm submitting all these. They aren't even THAT related to SEIV.

I have misplaced my manual...can anyone post the SE4 acronyms?

Not quite an SE4 acronym, but:
