Funny that, I was just digging through my closet this morning and found
my
copy. Oct/Nov '87, #80. It's a stand-alone game. It is fairly basic as
far
as weapons go: lasers, e-torps, and missiles (ie, I don't see anything
in
there called a 'wave-motion gun'). Lasers are type-1, type-2, type-3,
type-2b,
and point defense. E-torps are type-1, type-2, and type-3. Missiles are
Mk I,
Mk II, Mk III, and Mk IV. I don't know StarBlazers near well enough to
pretend
to know how to translate these into FT stats.

They also cover fighters (F-15, F-5, and A-10; *amazing* how they use
designations that are oh so familiar...  ;-), and have a boarding action
chart that may or may not prove useful.

Well, I've pointed you in the general direction. Take it from there. :)
