P.S.S(to Mr. Rayhawks) Some Questions:
1. Would a hover bike be considered a small vehicle(sp?), flier, or hover
flier?

Depends on how it flies - if it can hover and turn in place (like most hover
bikes), then it is a hover flier, if it has to keep moving to stay in the air
then it is a flier.  If you build your hover bike by just removing the wheels
from a bicycle or motorcycle piece, then it is a one-piece vehicle; if you
build it like they do in the star wars sets then it is a small vehicle.

2. Can you fire missles from a flier without having to mount a bazzoka on it?

Yes.

3. Does the size-doesnt-count-on-wings rule apply to hover fliers as well as
fliers?

Sure, for the outermost parts of the wing that don't have weapons mounted on
them.

4.Could you consider SpaceAge armor as PlateMail without the CMP, Because of
the use of SuperLightAlloys? I planed on using the aquanuats/hydronauts-type
suits as SpaceAge Armor.

Spacemen (as of two days ago) already get an armor bonus from space-age
materials, since I changed Troopers' AV from 5 to TL+1.  Adding additional
armor after that would still incur -CMP".

5. Can the Stormtrooper helmets (the ones that come with speeder bikes) and
the UFO/Insectiods count as VisoredHelmets , because you cannot mount a visor
on them?

There are no real limitations on wnat physical piece you use to represent any
item of equipment, as long as all the other players know what all your pieces
mean.  You could use an octopus for a VisoredHelmet if you wanted.

Hmmm... anybody played any Rune Quest? Can you say "Walktapus"? Of course the
octopus is a little out of scale with the rest of the minifig for that but...

Actually I was thinking more of 'Cthulu'...

Just about any POOP makes a good minifig head (with the added bonus that
instead of calling them minifigs you can now call them POOP-Heads).  Sharks,
boulders, clams, motorcycles, chests, and hats all make good heads for armies
of brikwars aliens.  I always wanted to make horse- and dragon-heads but could
never figure out how to attach them.  My favorite by far is the deadly six-
armed Monkeyhead.
