My question here is this:  is the new d6 Space game similar to the D6 Version of Star Wars?  Are the rules the same?  Is the only difference that Tie Fighters, X-Wings, Lightsabers, and Wookiees are now Starfighters, T-Wings, Energy Swords, and Hairy Aliens?  What are your general impressions of these new d6 books, space in particular?</blockquote>
