That seemed to be a consistent theme for Traveller, from the LBB days on.
We'd hoped to finally break that streak.  I'd hoped we could actually get
the TML to use FF&S to design ships and vehicles for submission.

What I still can't wrap my mind around is that they took the final draft
in Word format, apparently without reading it, dumped it into some print
layout program, and never bothered to error check anything.  A single read
through would have shown the equations were scrambled.

And to confirm what others have noted, T4 FF&S was basically a port of TNE
FF&S to the T4 environment.
