Hm. I must have been brain dead when I wrote the above lines. After all,

I own both Silent Death/Metal Express and Silent Death/TNM. SD is pretty

good, playing fast and having a fair amount of detail. I've converted
all 
of the models to capital ships for use in FT, though.

Of course, sitting in front of a computer screen all night and working 
during the days tend to have some negative effects on your memory :(

I can imagine that...

However, the fact that you have to determine all those jinks, loops, 
rolls etc for your ships before you can move... sort of put me off. For 
me, fighter combat shouldn't be about planning beforehand - that's for 
the big units! (Well, it was a few years since I played Star Fighters.
It 
probably shows, but the above is my impression of it.)
