The rule set is based on the German re-write or the Project Continuum?
I’ve thought I saw some significant differences.

It's MY re-write (or more accurately, a tidy-up with a few tweaks) in
collaboration with the guys at Mechworld, an expanded version of the
Full Thrust Light rules to suit the forces in the starter game box. 
Continuum and the various other fan-projects have all taken my original
published material and then headed off in their own various directions
with it, while the progression from FT Light through FT Starter (the
game box rules) and then to a future "FT new full edition" is basically
still my vision of the game - the original rules brought up to date,
tweaked and amended where necessary, but if something doesn't NEED
fixing then we're leaving it alone…..  ;-)

quickly you’ve been sending. You keep doing the false modesty, and
people will start assuming all they have to do is ‘think an
order…’

Well, SOME orders have still been going out quickly as usual, mainly if
they are simple ones where everything is in stock - the ones that have
been delayed a bit are those where I've had to cast things….
But I'm glad that my delivery reputation has survived the difficult
period reasonably intact!  ;-)

As far as I'm concerned, I'm starting 2016 again from here on, and
trying to forget about most of the last four months…..

had a great day, and since getting back I've managed to get the
mailorder situation under control and almost completely up to date, so
most new orders should now start going out much faster than over the
last couple of months. After everything that has happened since the New
Year, I'm pretty much starting 2016 again from here on, with things
being back to normal!
