That PBEM game (SD fighters converted to FT ships, vector movement) was
a
bit too ambitious; I actually tried to convert the SD aliens (Night
Brood)
and they're very different than other races / FT forces. Mines,
tactical
warp jumps, limited number of obscuring screens and high damage / low
hit
frequency weapons dominate their tactics.
I also didn't know how to use FTMAP yet, and that hindered the game.
