Jeff,
     Yes, I have a race for FT/MT2.0 that uses the concept.   I use the
ships from
SFB and some other 'round' ships.   The (standard) drive produces 16
function points
which may be used to move one inch (one point) of rotate 30 degrees (one
point).
The standard turn, move, turn, move sequence is retained, but rotations
(at the turn
points) are not limited and the second move can be zero if desired.   
     A standard MCLM (Mar'cal Le'Mar) cruiser is 500 points and is VERY
high-tec.
The ship has one 360 mounting, 4 x 270 mountings, and 4 x 180 mountings
for 
beam weapons.	Enhanced sensors are standard, as is one level of
stealth.
(Stealth: Reduces the detection range of enemy sensors by 50 percent.)

Some of the drawbacks include the automatic loss of function points due
to
damage at threshhold checks, and the 500 point cruiser (mass 36) has the

standard 18 hits.

Bye for now,
