Hey wait a minute, as space combat fiction these are top notch. Last
time I checked, Full Thrust touted itself as a system adaptable to ANY
background. True noone, including me, has gotten off their ass and
developed a conversion of the starfire background to Full Thrust, (it's
on my list of things to do) but that doesn't mean you can't use starfire
type weapons or combat in FT. In fact I do it myself informally. And the
FB addition of Salvo missles is right up the alley of the classic
missile engagement that Weber always writes
about.
