[FT] Questions from a new Full Thrust player

Subject: [FT] Questions from a new Full Thrust player

Hello; 

My name is Brian Thomas; I'm 21, and have been wargaming for about 3
years
now (help!  I can't stop;).  I, and my gaming group, are relatively new
to
Full Thrust, having mostly done GW mini games, with some Clan War and B5
Wars thrown in.  With that in mind, a few questions have come up
regarding FT.

1) Where exactly are the advanced fighter rules?  (ie, torpedo,
interceptors)  Are they in FB2, or is More Thrust still in production? 
(I
have FT and FB1)

2) What sort of size fleet are people normally playing?  We've played a
2000 and 3000 pts per side (2 players per side) game, and are leaning
towards 2000 each person.  What has people's experience been for 'ideal'
size fleets?

3) Has anyone had any luck basing Superior minis on flight stands?  Some
of
them would seem well-nigh impossible (Galactic Dreadnought-sized), but
the
destroyers and destroyer leaders seem possible.

4) Will there be a FT 3d edition anytime soon, or a FB3?

5) What sort of success have people had with the NAC?  (my most likely
fleet choice, using Superior minis)

6) Just how unbalancing, if at all, have people found DIY fleets from
FT1?

Thank you for any help you can give,

Brian Thomas
