Hey all. I'm setting up this Topic as a compliment to Terry's topic, "How to play bad FC".
So, what rules, if not understood, and what tactics, if any, will cause you to loose a game of Federation Commander?
When I fist started playing, it was Shield reinforcement. _________________ I'm wise enough to know that I don't know half as much as I think I know, you know? |

One of my newbies thought he could only fire one weapon per impulse (he confused once per turn with one per impulse). Bad teaching on my part - I was wondering why he kept plinking at me instead of just letting it all fly... _________________

I misunderstood the lifespan of drones. I thought they lasted 3 impulses instead of 3 turns...BIG difference! lol _________________ "...You're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater." — Shepherd Book |

Shield Regeneration
If you repair shields (a significant number) and the enemy can get to you, you will die. Only do this if the enemy can't attack you this turn. The only exception would be cloaked romulans and Orions while using enegine doubling. _________________ Once again I have proven that even in the future, your photon torpedoes are built by the lowest bidder.

Cloaks! I misunderstood how long the initial energy lasted. I started fading in when I thought the cloak was still paid for. That really sucked! _________________ Speed is life; Patience is victory

A hard habit to break for SFB players:
[Player #1]: "He just launched drones, so he can't launch for another half turn..I should be fine. It's just 4 of them."
[Player #2]: "Launching more drones on Impulse 1."
Another one:
"It's ok, I'll just mark Frame for this one. I need that [favorite weapon here]." _________________ "Confucius Say: Just because one end for eating, not mean other end for talking." |
