I've seen the said rules; they were playtested at GenCon last year. They
needed some more work at the time. The Sa'Vasku were WAY too powerfull.

The scenario, which pitted K'V vs. S'V turned into a serious schooling
of
the K'V. One of the most major problems was how threshold rolls were
handled. The S'V would not loose the current turn's "allocation" no
matter
how damage they took. The regular FT analogy would be if you could still
get one last shot out of a system lost to damage if your ship hadn't
been
activated yet.

Their power regeneration was also too high. Facing 20 odd dice of
weaponry
power for two or three turns running has the tendency to take the wind
out
of your sails.

Sadly, however, my copy is on paper. I'm sure it's in the archives,
however.
