Before I started working on the Omega conversion project, I started (off the boards) to work on how to convert the Lesser Magellanic Cloud empires from Module C5 into the Federation Commander game system.
(Actually, I was kind of surprised at how things ended up; I didn't plan on Omega jumping ahead, to the point of it already having a playtest pack and the LMC still in limbo. But anyway.)
I still have a set of work-in-progress set of rules for the LMC ships on file; enough to fill out a second playtest rulebook, if there were ever enough interest for one to be done.
I like to think that the empires of the LMC can provide a new and distinct set of tactical challenges in the Federation Commander game system; both against each other and when faced with the Andromedans (or if contacting the Operation Unity task forces in 2602).
What I wanted to do here was to gauge any potential interest in the LMC as a setting from people other than myself; and, while I'm here, to try and work out how the ships from C5 could be sieved through to end up with a list of 40 ships "just in case". (As with Omega and the Early Years, I am well aware that the demand for such alternate settings may not be enough to make things viable; but I thought it woudn't hurt to do up such a list anyway.)
So, is there anyone here who thinks that seeing the Lesser Magellanic Cloud get fleshed out in FC terms would be a good idea?
