Federation Commander

Thank you for the quick and very clear answers!

I thought that despite other ships not being able to shoot drones tractored in a defensive phase, the tractoring ship could – but now I see that (4F5a) is very clear about that

Hi, I have three questions about anti-drone defense:

1) Is ADD disabled by a Drone hit in the Damage Allocation Chart? If yes, does it mean that "the last drone box" for the purposes of scoring a hit into the frame rather than to it is either a drone rack or an ADD?

2) When firing ADDs in the ...

Yeah, I was trying to search for the answer and this thread seemed to be on the topic

Thanks for the answer

So what does it mean that "the ship has no engine power and is dead in space" (w.r.t. the boarding rule (2D5a))? Does it mean that the ship has absolutely NO energy at the start of the turn?

Got it, thank you for the answer

I guess this is a bit noob question. I have Klingon Border and there are several counters of the same kind for some ships, but only one ship card. What do you do when you want to play with more ships of the same kind? Do you need to buy extra ship cards? Or should one just copy (and perhabs foil ...

A little piece of post-it note is a good idea. Thanks for the tips.

I can't belive no one has asked before me :-D I guess one of the main things that got me into thinking that is the suggestion in the rulebook (1A4) that you can use the white box on the counter to mark some special ship - this seems as something scenario-specific so I assumed I could mark it just ...

Yeah, I definitely try to search for the answer first before asking. It is a bit inconvenient though, that the search results list just the threads in which the keyword is contained, but not the context or location. So one must go through several pages of the thread to find the instance of the word ...

I'm a bit confused by counters. I tried to write on the margin of a "counter sheet" with the dry erase marker which came with the game and I can't erase it. Does it mean I am not supposed to write on the counters with that marker? How should I then use the little white box in the bottom-right corner ...

I know this is just a cosmetic detail and is not really important, but still - in (4F1b) it is said that suicide shuttles are armed with thermonuclear bombs, while in (5H6) it is stated it is an antimatter bomb. Shouldn't it be consistent throughout the rulebook? These two don't sound like the same ...

Wow, you guys are really quick! Destroyed plasma launcher is a good point. Thank you for the answers.

I'm new to Federation Commander and am just reading through the rule book now. It's nice to know there is a live forum to ask if something isn't clear

Could there ever be a reason to overload a photon or load plasma stronger than G during the energy allocation as oposed to do it at the instance of firing?

The latter seems to me to be better in EVERY way. You pay the same amount of energy, but you are much more flexible. If you decide not to do it ...
