Everyone is trying to set up a one-shot attack that breaks a shield and causes internal damage. Sometimes the long game is better. It's much easier to damage a shield and much less risky. Once that shield is damaged, the enemy cannot use it to approach you because the weakened shield is vulnerable ...

If someone would email Jean (sales@starfleetgames.com) about that reddit thing I would appreciate it and she would look into it.

Any time Mike West wants to whip up a simulator booster pack I'll put doing the SSDs on my to-do list. But I cannot do more than one empire every other month and would limit that to about 10 ships.

Captain's Log did a four-player story/scenario where a Fed, Klingon, Romulan, and Tholian ship showed up to watch a star explode and didn't play well together.

For those who do not know, eight months ago I broke my hip, and only last week was I able ...

Firing as often as you can is a problem. I start 20 hexes away and since Gorloth CAN fire he DOES fire and at that range is basically wasting his time. Now what does he do?

The sequence of play governs; a drone launched in the target hex does not impact instantly.
