Looks Good.

I like the new High-Resolution FT rules, but I do have a question - how
do you determine how many rows each hull 'block' has?
As an option, you could also use the standard FB1 core systems: they
don't make threshold checks until at least 1 block has been 'stripped',
then they fail on a 6+ if 1 block stripped, 5+ if 2-3 blocks stripped,
and 4+ if 4+ blocks stripped.

I've been meaning to get my Command & Control, Crew Quality, etc. rules
together into a form for insertion into the WDA, but I've been rather
busy on other projects ATM.

Anyway, I will be away for Christmas and the New Year, so I'll take a
closer look at it in 2003.
