There is a story behind the title: originally (back in 1990/91) the game
was to be called something horribly mundane like "Grand Fleet" or
similar.... then a good friend of mine said to me "that's not snappy
enough"; I said "well, how about "FULL THRUST" then?" His response was,
"you wouldn't dare..". So we did.
The rest, as they say, is history.... :)
