Federation Commander

You're right, of course. Bad math on my part. He did 56 damage, not 48.

But essentially, I have the ESG rules right?

And yes, I warned him that he didn't really want to go to range 0 or 1. ...

Just want to make sure I have this correct. I just played my first game with Lyrans and ESGs last night. My opponent had federation.

So, he has 4 photons, and I knew his favorite (only) tactic wa ...

I’ve seen a few cases (probes, banshees) where there is a reference to the “closest approach during a turn”. For instance, Banshees do 5 damage to the closest mobile armed unit during a turn.

I order 3 fleet sets of minis from Shapeways in the 7000 scale. I decided to use the Tan Fine Detail plastic and unfortunately, the minis have proven to be very brittle. After talking to Shapeways, ...

I found some references to this from a few years ago, but I’m still a bit unclear.

If a ship moves into the same hex as a seeking weapon (drone), does the drone count as impacted?

I’ve never played SFB and I’m just getting back into FC after a few years. I just purchased the Gunboats Attack PDF and notice the Romulan Centurion shows 5 boxes of “DISR-FA”, but I assume by lookin ...

I swear I typed more than this, not sure what happened.

My actual question is that it goes on to say that this causes 12 points of damage, 2 of which bypass the shields.

I would think it is onl ...

I'm not sure if I found an issue or if I don't understand something. In the example of play, there is a paragraph that says:

The results are 3, 4, 2, 5,
6, and 5. With an accurate +2 modifier all ...

So, I just played the Space Boar scenario for the first time and I feel like I must have done something wrong, but no idea what.

My wife and I played in Squadron Scale. She was the Orion Raider. ...

Thank you very much. I swear I feel really stupid right now. I read that over 3 times and missed that sentence every time. Sorry.

Point taken. I don't want you to change everything based on just my opinion. I seem to be in a minority here, so I will say do what is right for the community not for me.

On my previous question ...

I don't believe there is an actual Cyndarian ship card anywhere that I can find listed. That's fine except that in Special Rule #2, it mentions capturing the ship by marines but doesn' ...

You are correct. I was misinterpreting the rule. In 4F2 it says

When a seeking weapon
is launched, it is placed in the same hex as the ship
or other unit which launched it with the target in i ...

So I actually used some shuttles last night. Still got beaten but I'm getting the idea.

One question. What is the "firing arc" of a shuttle? For drones the enemy has to be in the FA arc ...
