Federation Commander

While the ship card packs are very nice - they are not 'required' to enjoy the game.

Before the cards were available, our group just scribbled the stats of the ships we were using on a 3x5 index card and played that way.

There's the Space Tarantula in CL 54.

I assume that it is too late to rename Running Adrift to just Adrift?

The phrase 'Running Adrift' implies movement which is just not the case in the rules.
Probably so, since it's already listed by that name in three books.
Besides, the implication of movement helps to remind one that this is ...

ACTASF Shouldn't be too bad if we could keep it to about 4 to 6 Special Actions. No Shuttles. no Drones... Maybe look at the mini-rulebooks that came with the 2500s box sets...
What are people's thoughts on this?

Already working on this. Had hoped to have it done already, but real life has a ...

I need to change it to Area Effect (x).

That explains why I couldn't find it :-)

See posting in ESG/Asteroids.

The ESG should have a trait called Area of Effect.
It was in an earlier draft. Not sure why it got deleted... probably because I had planned to move it to Special Traits and never ...

Well... I'm wrong.
I reread the effects of Area Effect. That's not the proper trait after all.


It will remain Area of Effect (X) [with X being 4].
AoE was in an earlier version of ESGs. It most likely got moved to an earlier version of Special Traits and then was changed/ edited /?? and moved back ...

My oldest daughter and her family are in town (from Ohio) this week, so I'm on vacation and spending many days with multiple numbers of my children (and corresponding grand-children) in the house (I think all 4 kids and spouses and all 9 grand-kids will be here tonight...), so this week; I'm ...

If I use an ESG Ram outside of an asteroid field that is an area terrain piece does it interact with the asteroids or is it only if I am in the field?

I think I'm understanding this:

"If you trigger an ESG while YOUR unit is outside an of the asteroid field and use it to maneuver (and ram) a ...

I need to change it to Area Effect (x).

See page 20 of Book 1.2.
The trait Area Effect (X) is defined there, so if we change the trait name on ESG's to Area Effect (4), we should be good... right?

Changed.

You meant Damage should be 23 / 07, not 23 / 17.
This , too has been fixed.

That is correct.
The use as a ram is described in detail in a separate section.

I will clarify this in the next go 'round of rulings.

That's the link to my Planet album. Maybe it'll give you an idea or two.

Yeah... no real excuse for it except trying to multitask at a rate greater than this 'old guy' brain can manage.

Or, as my wife says... I can still think faster than my fingers can keep up!

Revisions added to the master list and fixed.
Updates will be in the next draft.

Thanks - TLT

And this is the biggest drawback to using Excel for the playtest files.
Updating stats on the fly is easy... but when you go to convert it to a readable word document, the spacing/formatting gets all ...
