Interesting idea.  I don't have nearly enough opaque plastic pieces, but
I do have plenty of paper pyramids that should work.

I haven't yet, but I probably will tomorrow night.

However, on first glance I notice that the Destroyers are color-bound.
This makes them worth somewhat less than the Frigates, which is slightly
unintuitive given the pip values.  More seriously, it makes draws
possible, if two people have opposite-colored Frigates.
