"The other nit is a bit more significant, if you're in combat near a Gas
 Giant: The size of Jupiter is wrong.. it's radius is 4.76. It's diameter
 is 9.52 hexes. The effects of the gravity well are SEVERELY distorted. I
 hope I'm not putting my foot in it here with lousy calculations, but what
 they
 say is:                What I calc'd it to be:

 1G Threshold           Threshold 1G    2G    3G    4G    5G  ... 10G
 1.4 Hexes              Hexes     15.5  10.95 8.95  7.75  6.93    4.9
"

Well, since the max surface gravity of jupiter is less than 3 g's, I'd
guess I'd have to go with GDW on this one.
