RE: [FT] Earthforce Sourcebook - Babylon Project

As soon as I got my copy way back when, I did convert to generate points
and
construction under FT2.  I found them all internally consistant except
for
the Centauri Battlecruiser.  The Heavy beams may still be undercosted,
but
appear reasonable.

This was the first conversion put into webland, but the current versions
have diverged significantly since FB2 over the years.
