Ya'know, there's this campaign system out there called "Victory By Any
Means". It's a bit good. They're* already working on a VBAM-Starmada
conversion... VBAM-FT would be no bad thing IMO.

(* For values of "they" which include, in a minor way, "me".)

I would quite seriously suggest that it could be a lot of fun to play
out some large-scale campaigning from the point that the various powers
come into contact; this then becomes the recent future-history of the
setting. Remember GDW and "The Game" that became the history of the
2300AD game?
