I did a demo here at our local gaming con last October. Call it SFB
Lite. It has some interesting parts to it. I'm not sure I like the
damage track system it uses and the movment system is a little
combersome until you get into it. Weapons do poor damage at anything but
point plank range so it ends up being strafing run after strafing run
but I didn't get to use the missiles in the system so they'd add another
dimention to it.
