Look at it this way - it'll never be as good as ftf, but apart from that it's pretty good and it's waaaaaay better than no FC at all |

That's been my assumption - in fact if you assign the other ship to 'other' player, you can shoot at it. You just can't look at that ship now to allocate the damage! I think you really need two player ... |

Glad I could help! I think it was my buddy's firewall or other spam filter that was preventing him from connecting; he turned it off and he can now get on fine.
See you around the galaxy!

Yes, if you kick off the client it will look like SFB online and you even have to enter/sign-in under 'SFB Online - Demo Mode' (or at least I do). Once it fires up, go to the top left under 'Game' and ... |

I believe you have to download the SFB Online client, then once you do that there's an option to play FC with it. I know, it's about as clear as mud, but once you download the SFB client and fire it u ... |

You know the demo version is free, and lets you fight a Fleet Scale Fed CA against a Klingon D7, right? Might be the best way to at least check you can both connect etc. Did you download the example v ... |

The other problem is, much like James Bond's gadgets, the concept is used once and then never used again. In fact I believe the beaming through shields concept is also used in the TNG episode where O' ... |

I'm not really a fan of the "European style" rulebook when it comes down to finding a particular rule.
I'm curious......what do you mean when you say "European style" rulebook? |

So yeah, the rear-firing photons are a potential conflict with TOS. The first time we see them on-screen within the Star Trek continuity is in "Encounter at Farpoint".
Khan would like a ... |

You sound like one of the guys in my group. He *still* can't get over that Klingons don't have photons...
Actually I don't mind whether it's a photon launcher or something else, but whatever it ... |

Well, I always thought that the hole in the front of the klingon ship was a photons launcher...
It was never made clear in TOS. In fact, the only time any weapon fire was seen from a D7 hull was th ... |

Plus in ST:TMP we see the Klingon cruisers in the beginning (awesome) sequence fire with rear-mounted torps. Of course, they're Klingons and not Feds, but the precedent is there. |

So if you hit one with a good strike, say 30+ points of damage, do you pretend to take off five for the shield then pretend to take 25 internals and have him roll for them all? What if he asks to see ... |
