Ah, concerning your first statement, there is.

>From Full Thrust (2nd ed rules), page 44:
"Although the game will work perfectly well using counters or other
markers
to represent starships..."

And page 45:
"On page 47 you will find a set of counters that represent the ships
used in
the Introductory Scenario, [...] The ship counters in particular can
look
very effective if the white ship outlines are then coloured in, perhaps
with
one of the fluorescent highlighter pens. [...]"

Just a data point. :-)
