If you were to describe Federation Commander to someone that played wargames, but had never played anything SFU before (SFB, FC, F&E), and do it in only two or three sentences (at most), what would you say/write?

It's like Car Wars in space. (with a hint of Battletech)

You've heard of Star Trek? Klingons, Romulans, warp drive, photon torpedoes? Exactly like the last movie [sotto voce] sort of.
Yeah, well that's it.

(I'm assuming most gamers I'll be roping into this will be too young to remember TOS from the 1960s).

I would say...

Remember Star Trek II and III? All the starship pew-pew?..well that's FC in a nutshell

None of that 'we come in peace' stuff... nope..Its 'set disruptor to disintegrate'

Great space battle sim system for relatively quick battles with small numbers of ships. Time and overhead magnifys logarithmically as you add ships. Lacks consistently balanced scenarios (or even inconsistently).
