Anyone know what die mechanic it used? I had a copy back in the day. Stapled book, I think. I know it didn't use the Chaosium die mechanic that was bolted on in 3rd edition.

You mean for combat/task resolution right? I read part of it once, but can't remember if it specified that, I seem to remember they used d4, d6, d8, d10, d100 & D% not sure about d20 or d12 tho.
I bought FTL: 2448 (1993 edition) today. It's been changed since I remember it back in '82 when it used a similar die mechanic to The Morrow Project. I want to say that it used all the things (dice).

The 1993 one uses d100 for the Difficulty Ratings, 4d6 to generate attributes and then some operations.
Characters had an accuracy ability score. To hit, you rolled a d20 and if it was under it, you hit. There were a bunch of modifiers though.
I don't think there was a skill system at all, just combat.
Rolling for Attributes are 4d6-4.
Characters pick skills at Chargen. Anytime a character sucessfully uses a skill or degree they record it. Once a "game" week characters may roll to improve their skill by 5% provided they successfully used the skill in the previous week. Characters can also increase skills or degrees by learning.
Using all skills including firearms skills uses a 1d100 percentile based system just like BRP.
In combat a percentile dice roll determines hit location.
The referee in Morrow Project uses d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 & D20 to randomly generate weather, weapons, encounters, technology.
Combat rounds are 4 second long, and a regular game turn represents ten minutes.
The game also includes a Imperial to Metric conversion slide rule.
Characters can increase attributes by up to 4, just by surviving.
