What would be really cool would be the chance to design your own vehicles with something like FF&S. The only thing I'd want to seriously revisit would be the computer system rules, RPV rules, and the rules for robot "brains", since real technology has developed a bit differently than they assumed. I think you'd have a tough time doing something like the remote-controlled weapons mount on the Stryker using the stock FF&S rules, for example, though I haven't tried.

Whatever happened to it? I always assumed it was unfinished due to the great CCG extinction event. But maybe you took it to the Army? Did it turn out to be any good?
