I only know a 'person of interest'.

I look forward to handing over some moneys for this as there is an X-Wing following at my club I might be able to twist into trying it.  Also being able to actually use space stations in game, woot!

Will it be ship-generic?  I have a fair number of Silent Death and Babylon 5 fighters...

I don't think I'm giving anything away saying that it's basically a toolkit to build the ships you want. It was very easy to create ships for a well known film franchise but it would be equally easy to build ships for other favourite settings.

Does it work with cruisers and other larger ships or is it just for fighters?

Designed primarily as a dogfighting game, but there is a section on how to scale up to larger ships.

This is very inspiring. I have quite a few X-Wing Miniatures ships but never got on too well with the rules. Too many cards involved for my senile brain. Will be following this with interest.
