It is my understanding that after thinking about it a lot AoG has
decided to
go with the D20 system. I don't know if it's the one I proposed or a
modification/variant thereof, but that's what I heard recently.

Yeah, I'll be picking up the game, too, but like Allan said earlier, "To
be
honest, the first thing I thought when I heard about B5W was 'great, B5
figures for Full Thrust'..."  I had the same thoughts.	:-}
