I believe they were running several Strablazers games at the Con using
the
new rules.  At one time, a group was playing a Starblazers game next to
our
FT game using the plastic mini models.

When I stopped to check out a mecha-style game, a friend pointed out
several
Starblazer ship cards.	I'm not sure if they were used in the
Starblazers
games, but they looked really cool.  The front of the card had a color
picture of a Starblazer ship while the back had Full Thrust system
symbols
all over it with several Earth ships using a wave gun or modified wave
gun.
The card was sleeved in a collector card plastic holder.  This way, as
the
ship took damage, systems could be marked out with a marker and wiped
clean
at the end of the game.  Great idea for reusing ship forms.

Yep.  That's the company.
