You cold package it with the carrier/battle group bundles you already
do.
Haven't met anyone who didn't start off an FT fleet by buying one of
those.
Simple production values (B&W, maybe even no pics) and knocking it down
to
the very core rules - movement (cinematic), fire, fighters, damage and
thats about it. If you drop ALL the optional / advanced rules and maybe
needle beams too you could get it down to maybe 4-5 pages even..
I think it would be a great idea, but in pure business terms you would
want
to think about how much it would bite into sales of the standard FT
rulebook. A guide might be how many copies MT has sold compared to FT..
