Much of the tech is very similar (not surprising, since David Weber
wrote 
the current edition of Starfire!), but the drive (and related effects, 
including the grav lance) won't work in SF. A combination of SF tech
(and 
tech progression) with Mike's and Jon's realistic movement rules, plus 
some additions for the drive, would work pretty well. Make the
'Fearless' 
an Elite CL with ECM and Plasma Guns (from Communique/ISW4), and the 
'Perseus' a huge armed FT...
