Hey, we`re not being gready. It`s just the maximisers on the list want
some
more weapons/ships to go at (or is that find the errors in the
books?<G>).
It`s just as a system evolves, it needs rewriting/modifing to take into
accout the evolutions that have come allong since it first started
(thinking
FT, and after the FB`s, how relevant is the original FT book?).

 BIF
 "Yorkshire born, yorkshire bred,
 strong in arms, thick in head"

PS-This isn`t a critisism of the almighty jon, just a statement of the
fact
the FT book is virtually useless now except for one or two rules. All
the
new rules have been spread over the different books published since, and
need colating into one book (FT3, HINT HINT <G>).
