John,

I think that publishing (even if it's only PDF published) FT3 still has merit.  It allows for a few things that just allowing folks to "house rule" doesn't.

1) It makes it easier to introduce new space gamers into the fold.  It's fine if you can find a group that already plays, but that's not always the case.

2) It allows for many scattered components found in FT, MT, FB1, FB2, and multiple web sites to be consolidated into one place.  I'll buy a copy just for that.

3) It allows Jon to be the final arbiter of which version of some things that are still in flux (figher rules?) and put out something that people can use cross-group at cons or during visits or whatever.

Just another thought on it. :)

John
