Federation Commander

Sorry I've been out of the loop awhile when can rev 6 be expected. Any other spoilers on what will be included?

Thanks.

Back from holiday, I will try and get a Maesron vs Trobin playtest in this week if anyone has FC ready SSd for these they can find my email address in the profile section of the BBS and I would be most grateful.

All good points on timeline. I'll hang up my hangs ups :)

One issue is of course that we don't really have "modern" designs for the any/may of the Omegan races. There are mentions that they will get "warp 30" ships but Omegan Modules in SFB haven't got so far as that.

Mind you for FC that is much ...

Oh and the Fed CL can be the FRA one it just needs a note saying it doesn't get a drone rack.

Garry,

My take on the particle cannon as particle beam was just a "quick and dirty" solution to squeeze in third race. If space allows it would be nice to give them the full rules.

You maybe right about going with the Western end of the Maesron Empire and the Trobin and the superpowers war. The ...

One use or abuse of SS not so far mentioned.

They make very effective loss leaders against Bases. as SS actualy move faster than bases. In a recent game My gorns moved from range 24 to range 16 on a base launching SS of various sizes every impulse. By the end of the turn I had a large heap of SS ...

Cool, don't mess with the discussion boards much for a few months and come back to discover Omega is in with a shout of being produced in FC.

So random thoughts.


Races/Ships
Maesron and Koligahr might not be the best pair to start as they don't have the really glitzy toys of some of the other ...

Cool. Thanks guys.

The rules on HET as written I believe allow an Andro to declare a HET each sub-pulse and even if they don't execute the HET they still spend the energy. This allows for some abusive battery emptying!

A simple change that stated Andro non-HETs didn't cost power would allow them to declare HET every ...

Mojo dojo,

If the plasam force had to use all its plasma to force one enemy ship to turn away your analysis would be sound but I doubt that is the case.

Assume the plasma player uses all his -F torps (as they are armed turn one then the exchange of fire starts to look even against the feds and ...

Still in progress

Turn 20 looks to be the turn of bases.

First up the Romulan fleet that played in the asteroid game relieved of its cripples and reinforced by a NH runs into an allied Lyran base station it didn't know about just as it comes under attack from a Federation fleet (all new ships ...

I'll try and get one of the participants to do a full write ups but...

Turn 19 had rather a lot of terrain.

1.
Romulan fleet BB,RH, 2xFH, 2xSpH, SkH, 2xSea vs.
Federation 2xCS, 5xDD 3xDW 5xFF
in an asteroid field.

Quick version Romualns moved to find a nice clump of asteroids to sit in.
Fed ...

Nerroth,

Like your work so far.

Interesting thought on BOM stuff.

In SFB we have fighters mainly, maulers, SFG, PFs, tractor over range 1, scout functions and EW. Mostly rules stuff rather than weapon systems.

Maulers and SFG are the only weapons "banned" (or should that be BOM'ed) so I would ...

OK HEAT plasma for the Probr

There are two ways to go with this in terms of adapting them for FC.

Minimum changes to current FC rules or a more complex version.

The simplest approach.

HEAT torpedoes are treated the same a other plasma torpedoes in FC.
Except.
It cost two power for each of three ...

No posts this week so...

I thought I give a bit of thought to the two of the plasma weapons of the Omegan sector. The Trobrin Implosion Torpedo and the Probr HEAT.

Both have unique features that maybe difficult to translate into FC.

The Implosion Torpedo is the easier. It explodes either on ...
