I strongly suspect that you are right and this will be Traveller 
space combat, which will rather step on the toes of Ken at Ad 
Astra....  :-/

Emergence sounds a bit like the "Turning Point" setting that AoG came 
out with just before they collapsed; maybe it will be a rehash of 
that grafted onto CTA rules....?

When I saw Santa last week, he was in the middle of his move from the 
North Pole to Kyrgystan*; I gave him big box of FT3 for all the 
best-behaved gamers, but it may have got lost in the move....

* Recently heard on the radio that someone with a computer and too 
much time on his hands has worked out that Kyrgystan (or however you 
spell it) would be the best place for Santa to live in order to 
facilitiate his Christmas Eve deliveries to all kids in the world, 
given the distribution of population, the Earth's rotation etc....
