I think we'll be seeing some Kzinti vs. Kzinti Matchups here. I also think we might see a Fed vs Fed matchup or two. That isn't something that would normally happen, Maybe Human/Vulcan/Andorian Fleets?
Rock on Evergreen.
Yeah, this is an interesting matchup. Four Kzinti? Wow. Plus a Seltorian and a Tholian. So weird.
BTW: your selection is not that strange. I find the FJ DN the other Fed has odder. Let the games begin!!!

OK got another entry, but since it will bring the number of players up to an even number, I've decided to allow it. It means no annoying byes.
Nick "Savedfromwhat" Sandberg, Orion: CA, 2xBC (441 points). Nick has photons in mounts that can take them, but did not tell me what's in the Y and Z mounts (which can't take photons). I've asked him for clarification.
Edit: This means that Paul Franz won't be getting a bye this round, and will be playing Nick. Paul and Nick, check your inboxes, I've emailed you with each other's details.
Edit #2: BC is not in the client yet, so it will be 2xCA, 2xLR, photons in all mounts that can take them and drones in Y and Z mounts. Nick apparently tried to sign up on Friday but the email got lost in cyberspace, so that's OK.

I didn't specify. So, I default to Disruptors since that is what is drawn on the card.
There is no terrain on the Tournament map. It is open space except for what the Tholians cast or generate. Due to the lack of terrain to anchor to, it is unlikely Tholians in this scenario will be generating any webs. However, there is a good possibility of seeing some freestanding webs cast by the NCA during the scenario.
due to a complication in my schedeul, I cannot play on sunday but can on Friday, which was the original day Jim suggested. so if you're still open tommorow Jim, that will be the time for our battle (and we can do it an hour later)
So for wins and losses go to the above URL and click on the "Tournament Report Results" link. Make sure that "Federation Commander Online Tournament #1" is selected in the drop down, enter your callsign and password and select whether you won or lost and the page will be updated and Emails will go out reporting the win/loss.
I sent my opponent an email last week when the first email showing matchups was received. I have not heard from him yet. I also tried to PM him, but vulcandropout is not a forum user.
"I could have been an adventurer like you, but I took an arrow to the knee."
But i learned a lot from him about the interface and FCOl and am looking forward ot my next match-up.
I also got schooled in how effective plasma/photons are in drone defense... NOT!
Thanks again, Patrick for a great game.
Paul:
I tried to use the tourney link to update the status of our game, but I kept gettign a callsign/password not valid error message. Any idea what might be wrong?

I noticed that your ships weren't showing the weapon loadout noted a couple of pages back (I was seeing 2 ships with plasma D racks). Is that a glitch in the FCOL client, or did you change weapon loadout?
You can't select a Plasma S... nor can you change the wing mounted DRNs to reflect Phasers ala' (5L)
It took a bit of extra effort and some well kept notes (using the notes tab) to track actual weapopn load out... energy expenditures... and such. But it was doable.
DAC needs to be done by hand, on a ship card and then transferred over. A bit time consuming, but still doable.
Bug report to be sent to Andromedan tonight.

I don't know if it was just me, but in the Doyle/Scoutdad match, they asked if others could see the ship cards and they said they could. I couldn't see them no matter what I tried. I also tried making my own room/game since I've never really played on this client before and found myself severely limited (Fed DNG, BCG, CA, CL, DD, and FF I think). I'm paid for both, but that's all I can see.
Am I doing something wrong? I made sure I had the latest client. I've watched a SFB game before and was able to see the SSD's on that game. Just the Fed Commander I'm having issues with.
Update: Don't you hate it when you spend most of the day trying to figure something out, and when you finally post something, you find it 5 minutes later.
