Subject: FLEET BOOK
Having pored over the much anticipated volume since saturday, I
have formed the following opinions.
1: It is a brilliant and much needed addition to the FT family
2: It provides a much needed benchmark for gamers to use in
competitions, ie gamers who don't know each other can produce fleets at
the drop of a hat !
3: The glimpse of FT3 that it gives is so bloody wonderful that
I can't wait for it (or the freshly mentioned Fleet book 2
4: Isometric illustrations of the ships serve as a better guide
than the GZG catalogue pictures.
5: The upcoming FT3 design system is brilliant, it gives greater
flexibility in ship design, gives a new lease of life to PDAF type
weapons, gives fighters more flexibility.
My only quibble is this: All of the ships appear to be
unstreamlined and the larger warships don't seem to feature any
interface craft/shuttles. A very minor point, but what the hell.
Superb effort by Jon/GZG/all the lucky
playtesters/proofreaders(apart from that extra band of crew hiding
behind a PDS on the Ark Royal!)
