I was thinking along the lines of having FT play along like SG, DS, or FMA.  Each player alternates moving/firing one ship (or one group) at a time.  The ship/squadron performs parts of it's move, fires, and then finishes the move.

What I don't want here is SFB....  But what I'm talking about would provide for a more dynamic gaming experience.   It would be open to all sorts of gamey things I'm sure but that's up to the players to resolve to a certain point.

So what's the solution to this "cheese?"  Limiting a ship to a single arc change per turn?  That's pretty bogus.

The *real* issue is that weapons fire is not integrated with movement.  Everyone zips around the table and then says...now who can I shoot?   I'd like to see a fluid game turn that integrates fire and movement.  But what do I know I only play FT about once or twice a year anyhow.

THe only real way to really integrate the two (movement/firing) is to start down the path of "impulse charts" ala SFB.

Think we've covered that before. ;-)
