Subject: RE: The Future - Perhaps?
Well, after Jon releases Bugs Don't Surf (DS/SG/FMASk Supplement) and
possibly the Senarios Book, I think that it would be nice to see FB 3rd
edition.
I would like to see:
- Consolidation of rules from the various sources
(Books & Jon's official comments)
- Updated cross-over rules for FT/DS2/SG2/FMASk
- Boarding Rules
- EWF (ECM/ECCM/Scanner) Rules
- Updated cloaking rules
- More History (he's got me hooked)
- Updated Genre Weapons
It would be nice if he released FB3 at the same time that covered
- UNSC
- IF
- PAU
- IC
- LLAR
- NI
- OU
