ANNOUNCE: This site is back on Yahoo! and will be updated soon Full Thrust, the tactical starship combat rules. Simple, fast-play rules that can be used with any size of starfleet from any background. The basic rules of play can be learned in just a few minutes. No referring to charts or tables required during play. To find out more about Full Thrust visit the Unofficial Full Thrust WWW Page and the other related sites on the Full Thrust Network webring. The purpose of this page is to act as a jump point and locus, for all the computer resources available for Full Thrust. You have to own the Full Thrust rule book, to be able to make use of the materials available at this site. Site conventions Items are marked by the edition of Full Thrust to which they apply Full Thrust first edition Full Thrust second edition File formats are given between parentheses (XLS/DOC) Credits are by name in italic -A Person Links to external sites are in italics, links to local files are in plain text Feedback Contact the computer core by email: To minimise spambots please do not reference or use this email address as plain text on any web page or usenet posting.

The purpose of these is to allow the exchange of Full Thrust game data in a standard way. By using a standard format, various programs and utilities can operate on the same data files. This avoids a lots of otherwise tedious editing. A whole suit of tools for PBEM games are planned using these formats. Don't reinvent the wheel use the standard. To discuss the standard exchange formats join the discussion group or send .feedback

Ground Zero Format GZF

The GZF format, is designed for the general exchange of any Ground Zero Game in ASCII form. Its based on the format used in email and web pages (RFC822).

FT2 Profile

This is a profile written using GZF for Full Thrust Second Edition.

FB1 Profile

This is a profile written using GZF for Fleet Book Volume 1.

ftmap

ftmap creates game maps in GIF format. This is useful for PBEM games or for running Full Thrust on the computer. The program is very flexible and allows you to use any GIF image for your ships and background. It runs on Microsoft Windows 95/NT and Unix, and any other computer with an ANSI C compiler. The manual describes what it can do and how to do it.

ftdeck

ftdeck is a set of damage threshold cards, that speeds up the resolution of threshold rolls. They can be used where speed of play is essential, such as convention games. The cards are generated by a program that is available for those who may wish to generate their own decks. The manual describes how to use the threshold cards.

Thrust

Thrust is a Windows 95 tool for Full Thrust and Dirtside II. It does various game management tasks such as rolling dice and chit drawing -John L Izbrand

There is an email discussion group for Full Thrust, computer related issues. For example, how to design computer aided PBEM tools or whether we should use RFC822 for defining the Ground Zero Format. If you enjoy this sort of thing, then this is the list for you. It operates via an email list server hosted by the very nice -Matthew Seidl
