have to be careful with heat. I have had figures turn into a puddle as i was straighting them

I agree with Mike. A well outfitted BR properly run will beat any CA in the game unless bad dice such as getting hit by 4 overloaded photons at range 5-8 while stealthed. Then it just has become an equal fight.

On of these is not like the rest. kill it first.

why I'm not worried about 5z2 weapons. There are tons of weapons in the game some better than the ones your ship is equipped with . 5Z2 is just another group of superior weapons. You often play a phaser 2 ship vs a phaser 1 ship. To me the game comes down to power allocation and conservation and ...

Why are the x ships cheap:
This is klingon x frigate vs d5 and d6
Cost X -128 d5-118 d6- 130
X has best shields with reinforcement
X has best movement cost
X has best power after movement
X always has movement priority and can dictate combat

At range 9-15
Xship takes 3 points shield damage after ...

Yes the game is supposed to be fun. I agree. But with the current x-ship rules the game is not fun if one player has an x-ship and the other does not. This is do to rule 5Z3 maneuver. This allows an x-ship to dictate combat regardless of how much power they put into movement. Super weapons, super ...

getting the bugs out wwII:

B-29 engines top 5 cylinders needed replacement after 25 hours, entire engine replaced at 75 hours. this was not fixed until the mid 50's

us mark 14 submarine torpedo 4 major problems
would circle back
mark 6 detonator only worked 30% of the time
magnetic detonator ...

doesnt x in xships stand for experimental

so shouldn't there be a rule like when they shoot a weapon 1 /6 or 2/6 chance of weapon or system failure and then needing to be repaired. to function

5 years ago or so the was a web site that had fed com online. There were organized tournaments there. I dont remember the web site name any more.

I would buy a pdf version of SF diplomacy

I have talked with Larry Niven about his Kzinti some years ago. The K definitely was not silent. I don't remember the exact pronunciation. And Steve is always right.

don't forget evasive manuevers especially if you have to pass close. don't allow your self to be center lined. Also if you can get them to fire at range. you can weaken a shield away from the fight by shield rotation for helbore damage. also drones will cause them to use up weapons and power ...

Use a 2 x 6 egg carton for shields. And use pennies. left side is shields remaining right side is shields gone. Use a second egg carton for the ships systems. You will still need help from you opponent on facing etc.

as for pathfinder use the egg carton for hp and spells. play spontaneous spell ...

left side and right side weapons can fire down the hex row in front and behind the ship
