I could see Galactics using another captured Galactic ship... but not so much with Galactics and Andromedians. At least all the Galactic races use technologies similar enough that they can be integrated into ships that other races build- case in point is how the Orions are able to build option ...

SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY

Voted for the 'Something Else Entirely' category.

1.) Tugs/Pods rank at the top of the list; already done, simple(-ish) to convert... one tug and pod sheet per issue (battle, cargo, troop) would give a good selection over the course of the year.
2.) Carriers would be a good second choice - they ...

Kickstarter is much more than a survey; it is a commitment to produce something. And before you commit to producing something, you really need to have basically already designed and costed that "something". For high-cost, low-Steve-time products, Kickstarter makes a lot of sense. (Things like ...

*a nurse puts his 'business thinking cap' on*
The thing people don't grasp about Kickstarter is that it can raise money but cannot create calendar days.

The reason I suggested it was to show the degree of support, not so much as a 'funding' issue but as an indicator of a product worth the ...

If support is the issue, perhaps a Kickstarter format for the launch?
I, for one, would be willing to throw my money out in advance to see something like this happen for FC . Even if the wait from pledge to product was in the neighborhood of a year, I could see myself going all-in for a Forgotten ...

C7 - New Worlds

Carnivons, Paravians, Borak and Peladine.
Each of these races is already developed in-universe, requires far little ret-conning (oh, wow, a new race we didn't notice), and has the possibility of quick conversion over to FedCom because their weapons are already (generally) balanced ...

Klingons must have a way with cats that humans do not. I don't see how any cat is ever going to do what its master wants it to do!
:wink:

You cannot train a cat, for they will not do things that are not in their nature.
You can friend a cat, however, so it will do things for you that are in it's ...

An interesting dynamic- I like it.
It can cause a pain in someone's backside... or it can save it as well.

I still want to know more about what the 'lone cat' on his 'self-appointed mission of death' is all about?

A third player option, perhaps? :wink:

In a some of the Trek Novels (which are 'unofficial' for canon purposes), I remember seeing something about an anti-matter production facility on the Moon. Also, this is the tack that Masao Okazaki uses in his 'Starfleet Museum' timeline (my second-favorite Trek timeline).

This would probably be ...

As a Hydran player, I third the motion for the E4D - they were the most plentiful drone ship and are, if added into a Klingon formation, a decent headache for a Hydran frigate fleet.

Also, the Hydran Saracen Frigate Leader , as I'm a big fan of running pure Fusion fleets, and it's a fairly ...

I love the reference to 'Star Trekkin' on page 34! :)
Great art work, the minis pictured look amazing, and the 'feel' of the book is excellent. Can't wait to see it on the shelves and give it a read!

I know it's not FedCom... but I'm getting really excited about the SFBF expansion blurb at the bottom.
I've loved that game for a while!
