I wrote a set of FMA rules for Full Thrust a while back (during my
unemployed, plenty of spare time phase :) that handled fire control and
EW
pretty well.  I tested them a couple of times and they worked pretty
well,
played pretty quick once you got used to the central concept, and very
even
bloodier than standard FT combat!  If I can find the file I can email
you a
copy.
