Ah, thank you, Randallw
Like we say here in germany : i will throw an eye on the BM (means : i will have a look

).
Though, two of us three have little experience with SE5 (and SE4), we may start up with BM from the beginning, following your recommendation.
Another question to Damage-Location:
The ships in SE5 have 3 decks containing their devices.
How does the damage-location work in SE5? The ship-battles are 2-demensional, and the ship-models are 3D.
Does the incoming damage count against 1 deck chosen randomly, and the depth of the shot (in example in the case of a depleted uranium cannon) damaging step by step the components ? (mmh.. i think, its more complicated...)
