Re: simple strategic campaign for FT

If you want something really simple, you ought to take a look at Dark
Nebula
maps I rendered.  Dark Nebula is along out of print GDW sister game to
Imperium.  For simple campaigns I abstracted interceptions to a die roll
based
on thrust and sensors ratings.	It was 2d6 + the thrust rating of the
slowest
ship in a task force.  You can split task forces anytime, so it
encouraged fast
ships to intercept and hold the enemy while slower ships showed up.
Construction was limited to the economic value of the planet, or the
mass of
any starbase in the system, whichever is greater.  The map does have
jumplines.  For movement I use 1 hex per thrust rating, or one jumpline.
