Would there be any interest in bringing the OGR and OGD over - and if so, would they need new rules to be coded into FCOL to make them work?

OGD is "Old Galaxy Raider"? What's the other, Old Galaxy D_____?

I'm not that familiar with the Old Galaxy ships.

SVC, thanks for the Frax CA.

Raider, Destroyer.


(In case anyone reading this is unaware, they are in CL40, for SFB and FC. On the other board, the table of contents for the issue seems to have the rules for them on Page 32.)

In order to amuse myself, I do these (and am starting to do the FCHA ships) in a "random" way.

I set the file in order of "last modified" and open every 5th ship in the file, from the top down. For each card, I take one "step".

Step 1: delete the stuff FCOL doesn't need. Save and close the file.

Step 2: Arrange nicely for FCOL use. Save and close the file.

Step 3: Export the JPG. Save the file and move it to "done".

I do this, well, not every day, but whenever I'm bored. Two or three times a week. Since there are 44 cards (about 50 by the time I make separate LDRs) in the file, that means about 10 get "stepped" per day.

So, at the start of the first day, 50 cards are step zero. Doing every 5th card means

At the start of the second time I drop by, 10 cards are step 1, and 40 are step zero. Taking every 5th card means two of the step 1s go to step 2, and 8 of the step zeros go to step 1.

At the start of the third trip, I have two step 2s, 18 step 1s, and 30 step 0. Picking every fifth one means four step 1s go to step 2, and six step 0s go to Step 1.

As the start of the fourth trip, I have six step 2s (one gets picked and goes to step 3), 20 step 1s (four of which go to step 2), and 24 step 0 (of which five move to step 1.

Whenever I look in the exported to JPG file, I look for matching pairs. Since things are done randomly, one "half" of a pair may sit in that file for a week or two waiting for its "mate" and another "half" might see its mate show up on the second day.

When I find a pair, I take them to step 4 (sized) and any time I have one or more sized pairs in the jpg file I sent one to Paul.

Today, the OGD found it's mate and I sent it. Today, two unmated FCHA cards made it to the jpg file.

*looks forward to seeing what Terry makes of the OGD...*
