Good.  I play FT because it's quick and easy.  I don't play DS2, because
it
isn't.
(Steve Jackson's "GEV", with some extra units, is about the level I'm
looking for, although I may have to do some rules bashing to get the
flavor
right).

I do want a sensor system, as I feel that that's likely to be one of the
most important parts of space combat.  I also want it to be something I
can
put on a 3x5 card and not have to refer back to the rulebook to figure
it
out.
