Thanks Steve (and Brian). I should have known that it would have 
been in the one book I hadn't yet picked up. I had been advised 
that More Thrust, other than the fighter rules really wasn't that 
necessary, regarding a limited income. It also didn't help the store 
didn't have a local copy of More Thrust at the time, either. I'm 
assuming there are the Boarding Action Rules, and FB1 allude to 
multi-turn duration missiles, and differing fighter types. How much 
new stuff is included, that isn't duplicated/overridden by FB1?
