	While the figures could have used a lot of work and West End
Games never
did support the Miniatures Game, the rules do not need to be changed
much
at all.  For the Universe they were written for, they were extremely
well
written and provided a reasonably smooth transition from the Role
Playing
game to the miniatures system.
	I seriously doubt that anyone who is working in "new" rules for
that can
improve on them...
	The reason the game failed is WEG did not support the product,
produced
marginal figures (Space troopers look like walking eggs) and the books
were
not very attractive (black and white, no eye candy for a rich
universe...).
	Too bad...  Now it looks like a Pudding Workshop clone is going
to pick it
all up...
