And that is what borders of madness is... it's not FC... it's not SFB... it's sort of a fusion of the two.

A two way street would have been nice...

There are a couple of FC concepts that are really superior to SFB.

1. Only one TAC per turn.
2. No mega bricks.

Those items prevent Star Castling.

3. I actually think that maneuver is superior in FC than SFB.
4. Every ship in FC actually has a form of ...

Well, I've put in my request with the two Steve's to have the original offending rule (OE1.225) deleted from SFB.

From a discussion I've had with Gary. I understand that the Koligahr will most likely be in the next update to the FC: Omega project.

The Koligahr and several other races use micro phasers and one of the peculiarities of micro phasers in SFB is that they are much better at damaging plasma than any ...

Oh... That's good to hear that it works well on the Nook Color.

I've got a Nook Monochrome, which I love, but it doesn't do PDF.

I'm thinking of purchasing a Nook Color just for the PDFs.

Nerroth,

I assume that our posts crossed in the BBS so to speak.

I did an extensive spreadsheet analysis of the FEB a few months back... and I'm pretty certain that if you drop the delay on it, you'll break the weapon by making it too powerful.

The FEB hits harder than a disruptor, so the 16 impulse delay helps mitigate that a bit.

Just like the Koligahr Antimatter Cannon has a 32 impulse delay, which it should really retain otherwise it's almost a photon firing at a disruptor delay.

I'll volunteer to do the singers...

As for the Tachyosonic beams... I'd like to get my hands on War & Peace first and see how the PPD rules are written before I start converting the Tachyosonic beams.

Having said that, here are some comments I made about Tachyosonic beams with regards to good old ...

I can't believe I missed this topic for so long. Just read the whole thing... all five pages of it.

I would certainly buy an Omega module for FC.

As for your choice of empires, they are certainly acceptable.

Can I ask that all these ships be play tested before being released since, for much of ...

I have a couple of questions...

Can Kinkos print out laminated cards of high quality? I know it would be expensive on a per card basis.

The reason I ask is this. I typically play two to three games per year of Fed Commander.

I'm mostly a SFB player.

When I play Fed Commander, it is typically at ...

There are a lot of races that are in SFB that are not in FC... yet... and hopefully someday.

Of these the following use plasma.

1) Trobrin
2) Souldra
3) Probr
4) Branthadan
5) Allunda
6) Eneen
7) Peladine

And there are a couple of the simulator races and trianglum galaxy races that use plasma ...

Souldra,

They have plasma and a really neat cloak and some other interesting stuff... Oh wait a second... Star Fleet Battles only.

Can we get Souldra for FC? Please?
