It's more details than I I agree that Starfire is a bit (okay, a kilobyte) excessive in attention to detail, but any game designer is going to have to face a choice between detail and playability. Would you enjoy FT as much if everyone had 360 fire arcs for everything, no weapons but Beams, and all ships had Average Hull and FTL by definition? If you want a campaign where you have a group of stars in a network and jumping to a star means you automatically engage everything at that system, that's quick and easy, it just may not be as much detail as some people want.
