Welcome to the list.  Its always good to hear from a new player.  Kinda
freshens things up a bit.

There are more scenarios in More Thrust.  If you get it for the
scenarios
and expanded fighter rules and nothing else, its still a good buy. 
Also,
you could check out the Unofficial Full thrust Web Page.  There are
couple
of scenarios on that and links to other pages around the world.  The URL
is:

Not as yet.  Its actually a point of contention here on the list as to
what
each power's ships would be designed with.  But there IS a fleet book in
the
pipeline, I believe, that should answer all our questions.

There are a couple on the Unofficial FT page, plus I believe that GeoHex
has
just released a Ship generator.  You can get more info about that at
their
