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

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.

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 SP, 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.

Fyron...you make a good point about using the acronyms which SE4 uses.
I have misplaced my manual...can anyone post the SE4 acronyms?
