FT III, BIg ships and such.

As I have been watching these two threads, I've noticed what I consider
to
be a disheartening effect to make the game more COMPLICATED.  I see that
there are problems with mass vs points or with big ships vs small ships
but
I personally like the game AS IT STANDS.  I have DS II & SG II but I
would
rather play Full Thrust based on it ease to play.  If I want a complex
game,
I'll dig out my 50 pounds of Star Fleet Battles.  The direction seems
like
Car Wars.  It started out as a fun, easy to play, yet extendable game,
then
it became "Car Fleet Battles" with way too much stuff (optional rules,
rules
revisions, and such).  
Let's not take FT there.
