When did Full Thrust become a simulation (!) Trying to make Full Thrust a
simulation by pissing about with ship construction or other core rules is like
trying to build the Sydney Harbor bridge out of meccano.

Empire Napooleonics is a simulation. Empire players tend to be very sombre and
serious.
Full Thrust is a SF-based miniatures game. Full Thrust players have
smiles on their faces and cheer when they roll sixes.

Try racing a model T ford at Indianapolis.

Haven't tried it, but if you're referring to the Indy 500, I have driven a
3/4 ton '47 Dodge M37 on the Indy.
