So, some (hopefully tough) love for the ISC.

Is the Echelon formation still a factor in FC?

I was thinking it might be more viable than in SFB, since there is no superstack in FC...

I gotta talk Petrick into adding the FC rule that kills superstack to SFB.

Hey, I've got a question. I was reading the ISC history and was wondering, what was it that caused the ISC to leave the Tholians alone? I'm just curious...

Steve, that was an epic post. I wonder what the discus guys would do if they saw that lol

Cast-web plays havoc with echelon tactics.

So they basically figured that the Tholians were at no fault and even if they were it wasn't worth trying to conquer the Tholians?

The ISC wasn't trying to conquer anybody.

Just disarm them and seize control of their resources to protect them from their own bad thoughts.

When it comes to the Echelon of Judgment, their two most renowned operations (the sinking of the Burning Torch of Vengeance and their sprint across the Octant to successfully defend Korlivala from the Andromedan Invaders) are both published in Module X1R.

Another advanced technology force, the Echelon of Justice, helped do the business for the Concordium at Tibernia IV, too, as shown in Module X1.

I don't think I'd be too sad to see the SFB superstack go. (I wonder if there are any other rules that might be worth porting over?)

Gary, you're upsetting SFB players. They don't want ANY FC rules ported over, and seeing an FC player mulling "what other rules..." makes them go ballistic.

Nerroth,

That would be like telling a 105mph fastball pitcher he could only throw curve balls --

Then theres, if SFB players wanted to play FC -- they would be playing FC ---

In FC, there's BoM - where rules that some want to see come over from SFB (scouts, maulers, carriers) have a (strictly optional) home.

If it's okay to lobby for things to go one way, why would it be a problem to offer (similarly optional) rules in the other direction?

It might not seem that way to some SFB veterans, but FC being young doesn't make it any less worthy a game system.
