Re: [GZG] FT as a fighter combat game?

You can easily convert FT into a "fighter" game.

The only thing I'd add (to start) would be individual crew positions to
the core systems block.  There would be a symbol for the pilot,
co-pilot, weapons officer, signals officer, etc.  Then, of course, you
have to apply the magic "the scale of the game now deals with fighters
and not ships..." sponge.

I have a set of racing rules online that goes into this somewhat.  The
short version: very high thrusts, ships are allowed to "double their
output" but burn out their engines, individual gunners, pilots, and
engineers....

Has anyone put any thought or effort into modifying Full Thrust for use
as a
fighter combat game?  It shouldn't be that difficult, using the standard
capital ship templates for light, medium, and heavy fighters.  Fighters
should probably get more thrust, and I would probably consider adding
something in to give a benefit for the individual pilot and/or gunner's
skill.

Am I reinventing the wheel here?
