ROFL! Damn, I gotta take back all the short jokes, Hexx is taller than ME! OH, did I say that out loud?

Im 5'6'/5'7" depending on what time of the month it is and how much water Im retaining in my feet.

Guess Hexx and I can both make extra $ at the midget tossing events.

Sorry Hexx, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Ill try to cut the short jokes down to the SHORT list...

Sorry Hexx, but you have to realize that from a Kzin perspective a 5'8" felinoid is a midget.

If you want respect the Star's End Bar 1-900 number hotlines are available for $3.99 per minute...... ;D

Hexx, from the point of view of a commerce raider, the beginning and end points of a convoy route are only important in the sense of "look, but don't touch". It's easier - and just as productive - to stalk the convoy for a bit and then whack it in a relatively deserted area of space.

From the point of view of the defender, the response to this is twofold. First is to run a convoy system with escorts, Q-ships, etc. Second is to maintain standing patrols along shipping routes, in an effort to catch the raiders before they can strike. IMO, the defence value of a hex represents those standing patrols - particularly their frequency.

Yes, we're representing 3D space on a 2D map, but that's a convention to save our processors melting and our brains from dribbling out of our ears.

Star control maps did this relatively well.  They were sometimes a headache to figure out, but the processor was hardly melting.  Hell, this was 286 technology.

Edit:  Oh, just in case i'm not understood, I mean that Star Control maps (1 and 3, not 2) were 3 dimentional maps represented in 3 dimentions.  And it worked.  On a 286.
