As do I.  I've had a long hard look at the FMA system after Jon's
original
post and have seen that it is easily adaptable to a fantasy setting and
provides a great amount of realism for it.

Well, add another to the minority.  I would much rather see expansions
made
to the SGII and DSII games than to see FT get an overhaul.  A Fleet Book
with expansion rules to give a taste of FT3 would keep most people happy
for
a while while SGII and DSII supplements are well overdue.  Perhaps there
could be a combined publication for SG and DS detailing the aliens and
other
stuff.	They are closely linked and so I think a combined supplement
wouldn't be too out of line.  Except maybe for Jon's profit margin! ;-)
