I loved the original Battle Satellites

I liked the way the crew killers worked in Admirality edition.

I'm with Glen on this one, having a fleet with smaller ships like we have in our Navy seems utterly insane. It seems too easy to simply capsize them and instantly kill every single person on board.

Depends on the fleet you're trying to emulate.

The rules say you only check for damage the first time you cross the threshold.

You could try adding a note to the design section of the book. Something along the lines of talking about the eggshells with sledgehammers potentially reducing the fun of the game, and that only designing ships that are powerful and not fun kinda misses the point of the entire designing system.

Pretty much this. Picking only what wins in a game where you have so many options for ship designing kinda misses the entire point of the game.

Battle Satellites

Just send out a fighter with the general from Monty Python on it.
"Stop it, those ships are just silly. Now I like a good laugh as much as the next person but I will stop the game if the ships get to silly."
That's my plan anyway.
