Congrats on your first game. Storeylf got it right. The ADD thing works like how "Phot" hits also take out distruptors.

Just out of curiosity, what was the other frigate?

Federation Frigate.

Second game tonight, we are going to try a scenario, rather than just a simple 1 on 1. Not sure which ...

Drones don't have a range per se, you can lanch them at any target that is up to 25 hexes away (if that is what you mean). After that they move towards the target until they hit it.

OK. How long has the version 5 rulebook been out?
I guess I should wait until academy arrives before progressing, but over here in the UK the rulebook alone is £12.99 and I paid £12.99 for academy as well. So either the stand alone rulebook is hardback, or it has a lot more in it than the book ...

Thanks for the replies. I guess the rulebook is not available as a download?

Cheers T.

Hi,
a collegue and I have just ordered some FC product to get us started. Between us we have ordered academy and gradution, a couple of boosters and a couple of attack packs.
Whilst we wait for the goodies to arrive, I,ve been taking a look at all the vast info available - lots of it, as I,m sure ...
