Federation Commander

Thanks Mike!

I...there were "house rules" incarnations of an 8-impulse system (and even a 4-impulse system!) for SFB back in the 1990s.Actually, as I understand it, SFB itself used to have 24, 16, and 8- ...

The Fed has an advantage in phasers, but the Lyran has both phasers and disruptors; the Fed only has photons. Once you've charged up your ESG they hold for free; so the Lyran has plenty of power for ...

Part 2: Yes, a drone which is tractored still counts as being "controlled".

From the way this thread is going, I'd say that Anti-Hellbore Bursts are somewhat like Shield Reinforcement, in that they're a direct response to a specific attack. I don't have to declare that I'm g ...

I would say no. It works like a drone rack, loaded with "ammunition"; if the rack is disabled then all the D-torps go away.
