Federation Commander

Nerroth

Hi!

Since the Fed Commander site has sections put aside for PD and SFBF, as well as these boards for FC fans to use, could it not be an idea to open sections up for the other two featured games?

They could either have sub-boards in this section, or have their own sections alongside the current boards.

I think I read somewhere that each system will get its own website. I could be wrong though.

Oh no, I didn't mean SFB - I meant the card game Star Fleet Battle Force (which is given its own section on the FC website).

Good to hear that PD is on the way - that is one game which needs more exposure among Trek fans (many of whom are less keen on the battle aspect of FC and are more into 'strange new worlds' - right up PD's alley!)

Oh! Yes, by all means, if you'd like to talk about the card game...yes, go right ahead. Very Happy

Ha - not quite what I was getting at, but I suspect you don't need me to spell it out for you!

I might like prime directive. I assume all the same restrictions are in that game with the license?

Like could there be stats for Kirk or Spock, or is that not part of the agreement?

Garth's story is probably the most cleverly written story I've read. Pity it would not be legal for us to publish it.

I would counter that far from being a noose arond the SFU, the licence (in my view) has become a great boon, in terms of where it allows ADB to go in terms of background and ship design.

Not only are they not restricted by what has been put up on screen (which is fair enough for its own continuity) when working out timelimes, technologies and so forth, they have been able to take the TV races in their own direction - and expand the setting far into areas (like Omega) that no other Trek-related setting can go.

If anything, the only difference I would hope to see would be to allow ship designs from TV or movie presentations which fit into the established SFU timeline (such as from Enterprise - for the likes of the Vulcan and Andorian ships, and the NX-01 herself - or from the original cast movies - for the Excelsior, refit Constitution and so forth.) But your mileage may vary...

If you are new to this universe, have a look for the many races and ships that are unique to the setting - and not just the likes of the ISC, Lyrans and Hydrans. Just wait until you see Omega and the Magellanics! Or if you look at the era which shows the dawn of Star Fleet as an organisation, check out the Paravians and Carnivons - and how this universe's Tholians came a long way to give the Klingons a major headache!

(If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, have a look here to get you started.)

I am a long term trek fan, and only discovered the Star Fleet universe recently, and I am blown away at how amazing it is!

It's interesting to see how TOS was taken and added to and expanded, as opposed to TNG which dropped most of what the old show was. It's just interesting to see how two seperate universe's have evolved from the same source material!

I'm reading timelines right now!

But then the question would arise as to whether the Vincennes-class starship in Module X1 is a re-naming of an existing ship, or new construction...

I just got Gurps Prime Directive this week. I am pretty impressed so far, even if some of the alien race art feels a little flat. A shame some of the Starfleet Command 2 character designs couldn't be bothered...

I'd like to see a section for the game here sometime soon. I have a nice canon abusing Orion Pirates campaign already floating around in my brain that I need to subject.. err show to folks.. Twisted Evil
