Haven't we all? I don't just have the misfortune to have one 
generation of rules, but two or three, just about every ship book, 
more SSDs than are pleasing to the eye, and about 5000 counters. It's 
not wasted dollars - its a lesson in the advantages of easy flexible 
systems. SFB makes for excellent two ship duels for people who like 
detail and lots of options. FT makes for excellent fleet battles 
which bog down in SFB (I ran one where it took 3 hours to run 32 
impulses - 1 turn).  FT also hurts your head less and promotes less 
rules lawyering. But if you want to hammer that Klingon cruiser, 
there ain't no substitute for SFB. (Proximity Photons and the Kaufman 
retrograde!)
