Definitely a touch confused on damaging gunboats.

I've bought both the Basic Set and R4 in e-book format, and will buy any other SSD books put up in the same format. So much more convenient... |

And someone posted a replay of a game of Fed Space on Consimworld recently. I bought the game last year, and to be honest would be more likely to play it over F&E.
In any event, I happen to be ... |

Always found the best way to learn/teach SFB was for a newby to stand over the shoulder of an experienced player --
Hearing/reading the rules not as good as seeing them in use -- -
I can teach SF ... |

Part of the issue is that some tactics, like turtling, are defeatable but highly annoying to play against. There's a school of thought that says, "Just learn how to beat it, and your opponent wi ... |

Ah, right... I'd forgotten the specifics of the 'stacking rule'.
I think the problem with moving rules from FC into SFB is that each group has rules they really like, and others they don't.. and ea ... |

I might suggest three possible 'improvements' to SFB using FC rules (after playing with SFB 'as written'):
1. Moving in reverse costs double the normal cost.
2. The stacking limit of three ships ... |

Nope,
Counter was on the map. But we play with miniatures (my friend's a big minis guy) on a home made map. And I'm just not used to the combo. Plus the counter we used because I was too lazy to ... |

I'm flying an odd mix of a Romulan King Eagle, and Sparrowhawk, + Klingon D5C in a current fleet battle. I like them all! But the D5C is just nasty with those disruptor arcs... |
