(600.2) Scenario (604.0)
Turn #20 Spring Y178: Lyran-PF1
Turn #21 Fall Y178: Lyran-PF2, Klingon-PF1
Turn #22 Spring Y179: Lyran-PF3, Klingon-PF2

should read:

Turn #20 Spring Y178: Lyran-PF1, Kzinti Heavy Fighter1 (530.212)‡
Turn #21 Fall Y178: Lyran-PF2, Klingon-PF1, Kzinti Heavy Figher2 (530.212)‡
Turn #22 Spring Y179: Lyran-PF3, Klingon-PF2, Kzinti Heavy Fighter3 (530.212)‡

Reason: Add Kzinti Heavy Fighter Deployment for scenarios beginning in the Spring of Y178 or later as a reminder to players.

(509.0) FEDS Recommends modifying para 4, last sentence to read:

HDWs‡ in transport mode function as limited theater transports which includes the the Hydran LNH-T (525.25); see (525.23T). The Lyran JGP cannot be assigned this mission per (525.242).

By Chuck Strong (Raider) on Monday, August 29, 2022 - 05:35 am: Edit

(509.1-T) FEDS RECOMMENDS changing the text to read: Romulan KR Resupply Tug‡: ...Theater transports can perform this mission (509.22) but each carries only 0.3 of a turn of supplies. An LTT can be assigned this mission but delivers only 0.5 of a turn of supplies.

RATIOANLE: We standardized all KR parts as decimals for accounting purposes throughout the rule set.

(103.3) F&E Basic Set: Under SPECIAL FACTORS listings the indicators for Drone Bombardment factors are shown and stated as parenthesis, as follows (bold for emphasis):

(#) = A number in parenthesis is the number of drone bombardment factors (309.0)

(106.0) Fighter Operations: Under ADDITIONAL DATA ON THE COUNTERS (which is really the update to (103.3) SPECIAL FACTORS section the Basic Set), this same indicator is shown bracketed by the greater than less than arrows as follows (bold for emphasis):

<#> = Drone bombardment Factors

Suggestion #1: Correct the indicator in (103.3) to be as presented in (106.0). <#>

Suggestion #2: Correct the description in (103.3) to match the indicator & keep the rule reference. (Note: The wording style in F&E Basic holds more clarity for a new player in the way it's written.)

Both suggestions together as a recommendation:
<#> = A number in arrow brackets represents the number of drone bombardment factors (309.0).

TYPO ITEM in Basic Set:

(600.35) DIPLOMATS: Diplomatic teams (including Klingon diplmatic cruisers) and small transports carrying diplomatic teams are always released and can go about their business (540.0).

Should be (bold added for emphasis):
(600.35) DIPLOMATS: Diplomatic teams (including Klingon diplomatic cruisers) and small transports carrying diplomatic teams are always released and can go about their business (540.0).

Embellishment requested to 600.35

From AO Post production review:
Recommendation to add a clarifying rule regarding ADM (and potentially other Personnel release). The reference in 600.35 could be embellished to include more Personnel types in the F&E Basic Set review that is upcoming. I will make that recommendation formally in F&E Basic.

Under 600.35 recommend additional rules or set of rules for types of personnel (Diplomats, Prime Teams, MMGs and ADMs). NOTE: Current rule reference only the Diplomat and its ability to move around the universe.

RATIONALE:
1) ADM also need a general reference rule. They are not mentioned in 600 rules.
2) MMG: also need a general reference rule. They are not mentioned in 600 rules.
3) Prime Teams need a general reference rule, they are mentioned in 601.1612 and 601.162 The Wind (as a specific rule for the Klingons and Hydrans respectively). Scenario 602, 603, 604 and many others mention pre-war and at war status of Prime Teams.

Final Recommendation for 600.35 with the added subrules:
(600.35) PERSONNEL: Personnel of different types are handled in numerous ways.
(600.351) DIPLOMATS: Diplomatic teams (including Klingon diplomatic cruisers) and small transports carrying diplomatic teams are always released and can go about their business (540.0).
(600.352) ADMIRALS: Admirals are deployed to the Fleet they are assigned (see each Empire's Order of Battle) and may not leave (or be carried) out that assigned area until the fleet itself is released. See (316.0) for ship assignment requirements.
(600.353) MARINE MAJOR GENERALS: Unless otherwise specified by scenario rules, MMG become available to an empire who is at war, see (321.1).
(600.354) PRIME TEAMS: Unless otherwise specified by scenario rules, Prime Teams become available to an empire who is at war, see (522.1)
(600.355) GROUND COMBAT ELEMENTS: Unless otherwise specified by scenario rules, the ability use of GCEs become available to an empire who is at war, see (521.83).

Should the (657.0) Middle Years Rules be include in basic set update?

SVC SEZ: no.

By Joe Stevenson (Ikv_Sabre) on Friday, May 12, 2023 - 08:57 pm: Edit

I wouldn't include Middle Years in the basic set. Save it for a separate product

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, May 13, 2023 - 12:08 am: Edit

Given that two of the three key staff members (Ryan, Mike Curtis) cannot attend, there is zero chance of any progress being made on Basic Set revision. I'm not even going to try; other projects need doing more. I'm not angry that real life got in the way, but it is what it is. Since everything we did on site would have to be sent through the distance-staff system anyway, there is nothing to be gained by working on it at all.

StratCon is about playing F&E. Any actual work by the staff on new products is secondary and while a loss, not a crushing one.

Game on, and we'll see if we can get the staff together to revise Basic Set next year. If that doesn't happen, the Basic Set revision will get to the top of the priority list for distance-staff work at some point and will be done then.

(756.21) NODES: add Military Convoys‡ (526.111) reason: Military Convoys are a strategic movement node under (526.111). Thomas Mathews 13 May 2023

(756.22) NOT NODES add Military Convoys‡ (526.112) reason: Military Convoys are not a strategic movement node under (526.112). Thomas Mathews 13 May 2023

(756.21) NODES: tugs acting as supply points should read: tugs, LTTs‡ and Theater Transports‡ acting as supply points. Reason: LTTs and Theater Transports can act as supply points under their rules. Thomas Mathews 13 May 2023
