  Not yet...ultimately.

  They're allowed, but we don't go into them in BL.

  Dave says jump drives run constantly while in jump space

  Path of Tears, the Star Viking Sourcebook (just released) deals
  with this question, among others.

  The main difficulty with doing comprehensive indices or
  bibliographies or consolidations of deckplans/equipment/etc. is
  that they are obsolete almost as soon as they printed (unless we
  publish them and then never print anything else).

  Nope. I'm looking at indexing TNE for in-office use (and if I
  ever do it I'll put it in Challenge), but there never seems to be
  any time for projects such as this...always something more
  important staring me in the face.

  Edjs et al. seem to have dealt with your VRFGG/sandcaster

  Its pretty much anybody's guess. There are numerous hypotheses,
  but little hard data.

  Re: FF&S II

  > What is the offical word on addressing these topics?

  We will address these topics in future publications, but we
  haven't decided exactly when or where.

  >  Is GDW still planning on releasing a"FF&S II"?

  Yes, but we haven't decided exactly when.

  > Challange Mag is a good forum for this.

  We think so too.

  Robots would have dominated the space available in FF&S, and
  would have crowded out several other things. Right now, the plan
  is to cover robots in the same book in which we deal with Virus.

  > Consider the lowly Bwap.  <Grump, grump>

  You are the first person I know of who wants to know more abut
  the Bwaps. I'll look at doing something on them for the aliens
  book we have upcoming.

  James Kundert  has handled your questions already, it would
  seem, and I have nothing to add.

   Jeez, that's two people who want Bwaps...what was it about the
   little mud-puppies that you guys found so interesting? I want to
   try to put that in the next alien I create... : )
