Federation Commander

I like the 10 dollar SSD packs that you can purchase. I would not like PDFs as I would have to spend more to laminate them and color print them.

Let me add that I am very happy with my copy of the game and the player charts as well as the SSDs are outstanding. Thanks for the info about the corrected Romulan Border player chart.

Thanks for that information. Can't wait to play the game. I have to say this again: The quality of the ship status cards and the charts is very high - good job ADB!

I just purchased FC Klingon Border at my local game store. My favorite components are the ship status cards - they really look good! However - I noticed that my Player Reference Cards are printed with the words "Federation Commander Romulan Border" along with the Romulan logo.

Are the player ...

Thanks for the info. I like all of those transport options - makes for interesting scenarios

The Federation Light Tactical Transport is different than the TUG? I assume that the upcoming LTT is the new hull design (based on NCL and NCA ship type) of the Federation Tug (from the older Zocchi plastic miniature) which will come in booster 91?

I have only been reading this board for a few ...

The Middle Years hospital ship is based on the hull of an old light cruiser and has four Ph-3's. Removing those Ph-1's and replacing them with lab might be disarming the LTT a little too much. Is there anything else that could be transformed into lab boxes instead of the two Ph-1's?

Or I could ...

I will change the two PH-1 boxes on the LTT SSD to LAB boxes when using that SSD for the hospital ship. That leaves a single 360 arc PH-3 on-board. Thanks for the suggestions - now to find an SSD for a Fed ship that has only one engine nacelle and one engineering hull...

From the looks of that hull, the light transport tug would probably do. The pod would be the medical section.

That's a great idea for the hospital ship. The light tactical transport fits the layout. All cargo boxes could be medical bays. Now - about the weapons...would the Federation allow ...

Until my copy of Federation Commander Klingon Border arrives on order at my local gaming store, I am using an old game board from "Alpha Omega" for my star map along with the free First Mission PDF rules from ADB. The Alpha Omega map board sections have 1.25" hexes on a blue-black star field.

Here ...

The USS Kelvin from the movie could be done quickly with just an added part to the top of the hull to a Saladin class.

I agree - I was thinking the engineering section and pylon of a plastic Zocchi CA Heavy Cruiser would do nicely for the above mod.

To be a perfectionist, you would need to cut ...

I have no business interest in the company that makes those maps (Hotz). I am going to order one myself. From the website, it seems that you can order them rolled in a tube or order them folded in a box.

Rolled mats from Hotz cost more for shipping and packaging. I have used felt maps before and ...

I'll just make my own then. Looking forward to playing some games! Thanks for the replies.

Hi - I am new to federation Commander and I like to modify miniatures. Is there a ship design tool or SSD creator for unofficial ships so that I might use my designs in my non-FC-sanctioned games?

For example, I need a Federation Hospital ship ( I have a micro-machines STTNG hospital ship miniature ...
