Well, I've stuck as much promo lines as I can into PP for FT and the 
GZG minis....

Actually, I think a FT-lite would be good, even if it was slightly 
crippled (no ship design, no FTL and a limited number of FB ships). In 
fact, I reckon that a FT-lite under Fleet book rules with good illos 
for the vector movement (I recommend Paul Lesack who did PP) and a 
couple of smaller ships from the various forces (or an escort, a light 
cruiser, a heavy cruiser and a battlewagon) would be a great 
introductory pack. Say this pack had two sides/forces, and 4 or 8 minis 
in it in a blister pack too as a starter kit. It'd work for me.

There again, that's exactly the method that I've adopted with Power 
Projection. Except for the minis ;-)

Cheers,

Dom
