I always had them figured for combination flying/walking robotic type deals,
like in all them cartoons.  They could fly from place to place, but you
wouldn't set very many speed records.  Hence a speed of like 1 would still
point to using other ships as transporters; however, this would let you
use a (max_speed==0) distinction for things which could not be loaded into
hangers.  Then you wouldn't have to do something like add another field to the
structure,wchich would prevent current game runners from upgrading to the
new code.

P.S. - The mention of the T's reminded me... wasn't there talk of removing
either the hyper ability of Ts or their hanger?  Was anything like this done?
