I think some movement cards comes with Module A+. There are seperate cards for right and left which cuts the number of cards needed in half. You play two cards at a time.

It sounds to me like you'd be better off just using the hex-less miniatures rules and skip the hex map in the first place. Making the turning templates larger would be much easier then trying to print ... |

Somehwat off topic, but I think the reason it's "close and hose" is more for cinematic effect. I mean, it would be hard to film a battle where the ships barely even get close enough to be i ... |

Don't work yourself up over scale. You'll get a headache ... or go mad.
I'm not getting worked up. Actually, I like it better this way. If the F&E map is really 7 or 8 sectors wide you can get r ... |

Nope. No starter book... I'm not even sure if you could do a starter book...
I've always wondered how F&E does starship combat. I think you could make a small map with a few counters (print your ... |

I was puttering about with the PD warp speed charts trying to reverse engineer the formula to add values for other warp speeds and noticed something.

However, due to our license restrictions, we cannot support anything that brings in elements of Paramount's Star Trek, beyond what we have already used. So we don't have Cardassians or Bajorans or the ... |

The ships published in Y2 were the WVL (light cruiser) and WVF (frigate), both armed with photons and Ph-1s. (The Y and W prefixes are confusing, but all are basically W-era ships.)
Now that you ment ... |

I believe those are Fed Frigates. (the NCL was published in 1982, see my previous post)

Wasn't the NCL first published in Expansion #3? If so, that was 1982, the same year as Wrath of Khan. When I bought Expansion #3, I had already seen Khan so, I guess, I just assumed that's what the sh ... |

I really got into SFB in 1986ish. I always thought that the NCL was supposed to be the Reliant. I also thought that X-Ships were supposed to be ships from TNG. |
