Yeah - fun for the players with the improving intelligence. Won't you find that players will make their fight/flight decision when they see what they are actually fighting, or do you trap them on the board for a few turns? :twisted:

If they want the improved intel, they have to at least begin to ...

I'll be posting the latest rough draft and example turn sequence info this weekend.

Meanwhile, the game has gotten underway. The Romulans have sent cloaked ships into all of the Gorn border systems. It is now up to the players to determine if they'll be playing these encounters or if anyone will ...

Myself and a couple of friends have just begun playtesting a set of light flexible campaign rules for FC. (Inspired by SFB campaigns we played 20 years ago, and the campaigns chronicled here by other groups.)

Currently the system requires a referee to make it work and help maintain the fog of war ...

I am at work so this will be blunt to make it fast...read pages four and five. After this read the next sentence here:

Won't work. The fighters will not survive to get that close. To prove the point, play it out yourself. And if you have to play by yourself, get mean, get nasty! Pull every trick ...

While I like seeing new stuff, I agree it would be helpful to have at least ...

In a quick little scenario last night we had a situation come up that the solution to wasn't clear in the rules (that we could find on a quick search).

If a ship loses its power or takes power damage, what effect does that have on movement during the current turn?

In our case a small freighter ...

As long as you declair that you are intending to hit weapons or power before rolling to hit, does burn through still use that set of rules or does it become random.

Please note, I haven't read the entire thread, only the first couple pages.

I would recommend treating the direct fire drones somewhat like plasma torpedoes.

Limit the launch range to 3 hexes against ships or objects traveling speed 16 or below.
Then in the defensive fire phase have each point of ...

What the good capt was attempting with the multiple tractors was to trick the other player into paying for negative tractor against all the tractoring ships so he wouldn't have power for weapons or other actions.

That only works against people afraid to go to their afterlife, not Klingon warriors ...
