Federation Commander

I personally prefer the one-fighter-per-stand concept, but do think that one fighter type per role (superiority, missile, torpedo) would be enough to work with.

Also, it may be worth considering how carrier deployments in BoM might be tied to the various fleet doctrine rules being worked up for FC ...

Djdood and Mike (not West),

You're both kind of on target but a little bit off. I rarely ever play PF's in SFB, but getting out my Module K here, a Klingon G1 can move at full speed and charge all weapons IF it uses the booster packs. When booster packs are used the PF takes double damage. If ...

I think sometimes the FedCom community confuses diversity with complexity.

Maybe, but I have more issues with play time and counter numbers. If FC becomes SFB, I'm done. I stopped playing SFB, I'm playing FC because it's NOT SFB.

With that said, I don't have any issues with BoM having ...

I really hope that we see the ability to use all existing SFB units in BoM. If not why bother? I think sometimes the FedCom community confuses diversity with complexity. There is nothing complex about have several hundred different unit types as long as they have common rules and individual SSDs ...

Gotcha I was thinking about BOM. My take on BoM is that it better go all the way, at least in terms of using existing SSD's, or why bother.

Mike,

I was just reading through the carrier thread and I just wanted to note that I thought your idea to eliminate EA and treat them as super large fighters was a good one. I think you allow them to choose speed at the beginning of the turn and assume that they are able to load all available ...

I was reading the playtest rules from CL35 for FedCom fighters and I noticed an "error" and had some rules feedback.

In the second paragraph it notes that fighters are not part of "trek". This is true in the original series but certainly in DS9 fighters were routinely shown as part of the Dominion ...

I thought that The Light Works did a very nice job for this fan show. Has some interesting saucer, secondary hull, nacelle combos.

Just out of curiosity has either of you guys used E-On Vue (www.e-onsoftware.com) to render battle sequences? I have been messing around with it and I'm getting pretty good. While the program is mostly for generating 3D scenes the animation and rendering tool set is really easy to use. The problem I ...

They look good.

I think you’re down to only missing the X-Ships, some police ship variants, the Medium Dreadnought, and the Deckhouse Destroyer. You might consider doing the fighters too.

These look great!

Thanks

Ok, I can respect that. I wish you would have at least left up the galleries long enough for people to make backups.

The gallery looks really good can't wait to see more!

I would think that the Klingon E3(smaller still then a E4) would be really close to what your after.

Back in 2002 or 2001 someone had sent me a scan of the Star Fleet Times #22 page that had the Federation Stealth Fighters F-22 and F-122 on it. Unfortunately, during my last computer switch I seem to have failed to back up the directory it was in. I was wondering if someone had a copy and could send ...
