I agree with Brian. It is a lot more intuitive. The only possible
problem is that new players tend to fly off the table more often than
experienced players. If you don't think of the "floating table" concept
(which isn't in the book), you can get frustrated fairly easy. 

That having been said, in most of the games I've played players have
actually been VERY concerned about going too fast and tended to play
more conservatively.

Another vote in favour of the FB1 book is that a player gets a whole lot
of predesigned ships with it. Even if not playing with the GZG universe,
that does help a lot.
