	First of all, I love the idea of FT Lite.  I have some Heavy
Gear
sample rules sets that I use to introduce new players to HG.  A similar
set of rules would be a real help to treach new players in to the
basics.

	Didn't Jon mention that he was thinking of setting a GZG web
site?  If
so, then this would be a great place to distribute a .PDF version of FT
Lite.

	I'd keep ships really simple, mostly beam weapons with a few
special
weapons (pluse torp, needle beam, SMB) for flavor.  Cinematic movement
only.  Maybe rules for asteriods to make things more interesting.  No
fighters or superweapons.
