Do you need D20 Modern to use D20 Future

[Dagger75]

Is D20 Future a stand alone game system or do you need D20 modern to play?

From what I have heard are the star ship rules like Alternity?

Thanks.

You need D20 Modern, or at least the SRD, which you can find at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/msrd

You need d20 Modern... enough got left out of the book as it is. Imagine if they'd had to include character generation, combat and the like?

People more familiar with Alternity than me have said that the starship rconstruction rules seem to have been altered from Alternity at soem point, but the combat rules are totally different... the starship construction rules are a major failing of the book, AFAIAC.
