Re: Drilling a post hole in a Shapeways or 3D printed miniature?

I've never tried it, but I think turning a drill bit by hand, vice using a power Dremel, would give you the best control to make the hole the right size without stressing the mini.

Re: What's the difference between the Outbox and Sent Messages?

Copilot AI tells me:

Outbox

- Stores PMs that you have sent but the recipient has not yet opened.

- As long as a message is in your Outbox, you can usually:

-- Edit it

-- Delete it

-- Retract it before the other person reads it

This is intentional: the system treats “delivery” as ...

I'm with Steve on this. If someone finds a "perfect" tactic that seems a little sleazy, there's probably something wrong with it. Find the flaw and punish him for getting predictable. :twisted:

Think of Zero movement as not stopped on a fixed point but rather moving around a little, not leaving the hex, so the ship can still do Evasive Maneuvers.

Would you modify a Klingon D7?

Get rid of the forward and aft Phasers, and replace them with Photon torpedoes? One forward and one aft.

It would make it a much stronger ship, I'd think. Which the Klingons would like.

But what disadvantages would it have?

Or would it be better just to create a ...

A long long time ago, I wrote an article for "random minor modifications". the idea was for a campaign, but it could be used for a pick-up game.

For each ship in the fleet, you would cut a deck of cards, then check a table to see what minor mod the ship has. For example, the Ten of Clubs might say ...

Why go to Range 0?? Range 1 has the same 1-6 To Hit odds. But at Range 2, with 1-5 odds, you're more likely than not to get all four to hit. Even at Range 4, with 1-4 odds, still fairly likely to hit with all four, or at least Three of Four**, and even if you don't, you're not running into a ESG ...

It probably would not be overly hard to create a whole set of scenarios under the heading of The War That Never Was depicting the alternative-universe where the Fed & Gorns do not become friends.

Of course, there would be no tech exchange, so the Feds can't have Plasma torps.
