A clearing house of designs and SSDs for new Full Thrust miniatures from Ground Zero Games

Full Thrust rules including the supplements More Thrust and Fleet Books 1 and 2 are now available for download directly from Ground Zero Games in their Downloads area.

 

Since Fleet Book 2 was released in 2000, GZG has released miniatures for several new fleets along with additional miniatures for their existing fleets.  While none of these designs are 'official' until published by GZG, the designs presented on the pages are 'Authorized by Ground Zero Games for use until Official stats are published.'   

Players are encouraged to send their feedback on these designs to stats@star-ranger.com.

Combat Point Value - CPV

Large ships in Full Thrust have an advantage over an equal mass/cost of smaller ships due to the way thresholds work.  The Combat Point Value (CPV) is being developed as a more accurate combat effectiveness point value that takes ship mass into consideration.

 

Beta Fighter Rules

An attempt to fix the fighter imbalance in the current rules.  The results may look very complex but are much easier to play.  Whenever the 3rd edition of Full Thrust is released, its fighter rules will probably be different than this.
