Federation Commander

I seem to remeber in some notes that where published that originally (in star trek) the intetion was for the ships to be able to land, but that would prove too expensive to do well so got dropped/little use.

Ahh I see I manged to mess up what I ment.

What I had ment is that when a TM launcher/rack is reloaded should the player get a reload of what was already in the rack. (so if he had 3 Armoured missiles, he gets a new set of Armoured)

Or should he just get the base version of the missile as reloads ...

wow the thread suddenly took off.

After abit more thought I do think that it may be simpler to offer a few pre-built missiles as options, rather than the whole build your own mostly to keep it KISS as possible.


For the base missile I would go for something along the the lines of

Speed 24 ...

I will admit I personally lean more towards one design becasue FC favours the KISS method when possible.

But a little bit of me wants to imagine my foes face when I get him with a 40 damage drone .

Will have to think about the drone to go with.

First Up the Maesron Alliance (out of intrest is their a way to type the odd ae thing in the forum?)

Background then for those who are intrested.
The Maesron Alliance is a alliance between three races (The Humaniod Talzo (Scientists and Thinkers), the bat like Wallimi (Explorers) and the Lupine ...

Since the old thread unfortunetly seems to have gone the way of the dodo and after fianlly getting Omega 1+2 (3 will be arriving soon), I really like what Omega has to offer, I've decided to start a new thread for those who are intrested in some Omega conversion notes.

So since I only have 1+2 it ...

Thanks for that but its the wrong bit of the galaxy thats for the Alpha sector stuff and it was Omega that I needed some ideas for.

So since we have a few SFB'ers here, a quick question what would be the offical or a good defult date for general sceniros (eg duel) in SFB its noramlly Y168 IRC.

From a quick read of the fluff I am guessing around Y100 or so.

Finally had the money spare to nab my self Omega 1 and 2, and all I can say is Damn! it looks so cool the background is intresting and alot more fluid than Alpha sector stuff.

The races are varied and intresting. (Even if looking at the 6! different phaser types made me have a duh what!? moment at ...

I've played with and against most of the races and have not found any particurly over/under balanced.

I am not too sure what you are wanting, if you have read the plasma advice thread then you know the tricks to using plasma.

I am surpirsed the Plasma ships are moving so fast to close in with the hefty power requirements to load plasma I would have come in slower (If my oppenent is moving at speed ...

point to a shield. Its ment to give a fairly even spread to the remain (non-weak sheilds)

D7's I would have thought, I am pretty sure thats where the Dx desginations came from.

Tractor Anchor? wait to a close past and slap him with a tractor beam would be one way. Even for an orion doubleing his engines he is not going to ahave a huge amount of spare power.

Wait till he has turned towards you on a close pass and launch the plasma, its much harder for him to dodge when he ...

I would have thought since it is the game designer who altered the rule he would understand what the changes would entel.

And yeah you can still use Direct-fire weapons, but not seeking (Since that happens after DF phase.
