<p>ADB is (effectively) our standards body for SFB. I could go
against the grain and not be "standards compliant" with my data.
In some cases, where the rules are indeterminate or that it
creates an unworkable situation for the chosen campaign format, I
have done exactly that. Such as "creating" an Andromedan that
operates under the tug-pod rules.<br>
</p>
<p>However, that creates problems if the data strays too far from
what is published. For one, people will look at their paper
copies, expecting one thing and get something else. That makes it
hard to plan your campaign strategy over the course of several
turns. Another reason it creates problems is that it creates a
different balance than what ADB has engineered into SFB (for good
or for ill. Some people don't think ADB should have done fighters
at all.)</p>
