(I say "could", but of course there is a fair distance between doing up a list and seeing if it would be worth producing.)

That would give all five fleets a broad array of ships from their current range in SFB; and offer a scout (either frigate- or destroyer-sized) for each to get by with.
The civilian ships (from CL20) are different enough from Alpha Octant types to be worth showing; and should make convoy raids a challenge for a rival (or Andromedan) attacker to try and work over. I don't know if they could be combined onto the same Ship Card or not; so I listed them separately just in case.
(I would have liked to add the Man-O-War for the Iridani; but, as a battleship, it would need a double-sized card. Not that I would complain were one to be added, mind you.)
For the main+booster divide, I've marked the various ships appropriately; with "M" for the main module, and "B1", "B2" and "B3" for various boosters (one for the FRA and Maesrons, a second for the Trobrin and Probr, and a third for the closest thing we have to Omega "cops and robbers" at present). |
Any closer to this ever being released? I just bought the Omega playtest pack and I gotta say I love this setting. I realize a print version might not be feasible but a PDF might. |

I forgot that this thread was still open. (I had set up a new Omega discussion thread over here, though it has been kind of quiet...)
Bruce did a fine job in crafting this galactic octant, I agree. But while I'd have to defer to ADB in terms of when, or if, the next phase of the FC Omega project is taken (or what shape such a step might take), any feedback you might have on how version 3 of the file is shaping up would be most appreciated.
(And at the risk of playing the Tholian game of "let's you and him fight", any playtest reports would be most welcome also.) _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)
