Well, if you're anywhere near Lancaster PA you might want to drop in on
the convention this weekend...

Generally FT rule books aren't very available in the USA, but as many
American gamers can attest the service from GZG in the UK is often both
faster and cheaper than from a mail-order house in the USA.

The current version of the rules is Full Thrust Second Edition plus both
Fleet Books - Fleet Book 1 replaced the ship design system and made
several other important changes, some of which were refined in Fleet
Bool 2.

There is muttering about a new version, but this is not likely to happen
any time soon. Even when it does, the Fleet Books will still be useful
as lists of pre-designed ships.

Hope this helps,
