I don't mean this in a disparaging way, particularly since you've put 
some effort into this, but why? I find that FT works just fine for 
single ship battles, though it will make for a short game.

[snipped basic rules]

It looks as if you simply doubled most things, and while it will tend 
to average out the "luck" factor involved with small ship battles, it 
wouldn't (to my eye) seem to produce different results.

What's the rationale for this? It wouldn't seem to have a parallel in
FT.

I'm assuming that this is because they now have the chance to move 
twice per turn. OK.

I'm make them move rather than use "offensive screening." Why? It 
gives the ships a chance to force them to use another CEF, rather 
than giving them an automatic follow.

>Point defense

Why not just double fighter "hits" as well (takes 2 damage to kill 
one) and leave PDS as is. That way no one gets screwed on the 
rounding.
