Full Thrust Anyone?
Building Full Thrust Ships and maybe a Mod?

Not sure how many of you can remember a minatures game called Full Thrust. It was created back in the early 1990's. Back then there were many Starship miniatures on the market and no real game system for them. In essence, it was a very simple rules system and allowed you to build any kind of Space craft you wanted. It also allowed you to use any kind of Sci-Fi backdrop for your story line. Kind of sounds familiar, dosen't it? It did have a story line if you wanted to follow it and a set of miniatures as well.
Well I have been thinking of building the ships that were in the story line the company had going. There is quite a collection of ships and Empires. The ones I have here are the ones that belonged to the New Anglian Confederation (NAC). That was England, Canada, and the United States becoming one empire again. It was a very interesting story. Other Empires are:
1. New Swabian League-NSL (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, and Yugoslavia)
2. Eurasian Solar Union-ESU (China, Eastern Russia, North and South Korea, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Tibet, Mongolia, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan)
3. Federal Stats Europa-FSE (France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and Belgum)
4. Oceanic Union-OU (Australia, New Zealand, Papula, New Guinea, New Caledonia)
5. Islamic Federation-IF (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Jordan, Egypt, Lybia, Gulf States, Tunsia, Morroco, and Turkey)
6. League of Latin American Republics-LLAR (Centeral and South American countries)
7, Pan-African Union-PAU ( All African non-Arab nations)
8. Indonesian Comminwealth-IC (Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo, Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia)
9. New Israel (The new Promised Land)
10. Free Netherlands (All by themselves)
11. Free Cal-Tex (California and Texas. Seperated in the goverment disingergration that took place)
12. Romanov Hegemony (Ukraine, Baltic States, and Byelorussia)
Each of the Empires had a particular ship style. So one could keep themselves busy for a while in making the ships. Not sure how far I will go. But since my Battletech ships seem to be popular. I thought I would give it a try and see how things go.
