Re: [GZG] FT Vector: Alternative Fire Resolution Distance (Tom B)

LOL the chocolates in the tutorial I thought were really clever. I
laughed out loud when I read them. Three cheers for operant
conditioning!

Actually, I appreciate Ken maintaining such a strong online presence
(much as I appreciate Jon staying so close to his customers). And, if
you have a rules question, you could do a lot worse than to look in a
mirror and say "Ken Burnside" three times. :)

One thing that will keep me coming back to FT, though, is its
simplicity and playability. I would love to see a reaction-drive tweak
for FT that is compatible with AV:T / THS physics, and I've been
kicking around a generalized weapons system that would eliminate some
of the "win the battle in drydock" effects, but I'd hate to kill the
simple elegance of the rules.
