Federation Commander

<scoff> where were you 10 year ago!
I was raised and lived in Salt Lake for 30 years. Moved out of state in 2002.
Of course, I didn't really play then (and there was no FC). But I hope you find a group there. I can't imagine there is no one in Ogden who'd play.

1) I picked up Fed Space and I'm stoked to give it a try. Can anyone here with moderate experience with the game share their experiences/ opinions on it?

EDIT: oops... I just saw Mike's reply in another thread regarding FS and its game play.

2) can I make a suggestion regarding e23 PDFs and the ...

Just an update on Solo play: The newer version of the Client calls "Offline" mode "Authenticated" mode now.

Hi all,

Ok, I'm being really OCD on this but wanted to get official unofficial clarification.

When it comes to movement, I know only one point can come from Impulse engines. But is that one point for *all* impulse or one point each? I'm sure it means one point for all, but just wanted to make ...

This was VERY much appreciated. Got my copy!
Please thank the Steves for us.

Thank you. I thought so.

I wish. Now that I've moved out of VA, all of these gamers are popping up. Jeez!

OK - something I've always wanted to have clarified:
On a ship's SSD (let's use a Fed CA as an example)
The CA has two left Type-I phasers. Right? These phasers (3+4) are marked:

LF
L

which obviously mean they can fire Left-Forward arc and Left arc.

But do BOTH these phasers fire in these arcs ...

Thanks all for the clarification.
Yes, I believed too that if you were to use all of your power tokens by the end of Turn 1, that everything would be recharged and good to go on Turn 2.
But what you are saying (in particular ScoutDad) is that at the end of (say) Turn 7, you've used all of your ...

HAHAHAhAHA! Steve, you crack me up.

"Kzintis Gone Wild" Order now!

You know, you might want to approach it by starting with another game entirely. Try a card game Like Nuclear War/ Nuclear Escalation. Get people interested in a fun and social game other than just video games.

Once players are interested in sitting around and playing face-to-face, you can try ...

Same story here. Of course back then I couldn't find players either - everyone I knew was only into AD&D. But after ditching my original Commander's Edition (stupid!) I bought another copy from eBay last year and that sparked a whole new fever. Now I have Federation Commander Academy and SFB ...

In rule 1E3 - End of Turn Procedure, 1E3a specifically, it talks about, transferring any unexpended power to batteries (up to the limits of the battery capacity).
Could someone explain this a little further? Is this in case a battery or batteries are destroyed by weapons previously in the turn ...

Hi all,
I'm starting a gaming group in and around new Braunfels, TX - New Braunfels Starfleet Gamers. Check us out online:

Star Fleet Battles
Federation Commander

We also play Nuclear Escalation for a quick gaming fix.

I'll probably mail order it, but I'd love to be able to walk into a retail store and buy a copy or it or FedCom sets. I've called the handfull of "comics and games" stores and only a couple carry piecemeal parts.

I'm going to open my own store in New Braunfels. But I need to find players first ...
