Scenario Book #1, and, later, #2. Or, by their callsigns, Modules S1 and S2.
These were a more permanent printing of scenarios that were beta-tested in the magazines. They didn't collect the scenar ... |

I'd thought of it as a partially-held-in sneeze, but that's not appropriate in public, and it takes a lot of practice not to sound awkward going from *kz* to -inti.

At the risk of sounding silly, I was thinking of drilling a hole through each box of the ship card and marking their status with a peg. I don't know if there's a source for a large number of pegs; I i ... |

The "Intruder Alert" general scenario reminded me that the Gorns encountered mind controlling plants in one historical scenario, and the Federation a zombifying virus in another. These, like ... |

Interesting, SG31 is "Intruder Alert!" I think a man-sized (or whatever) monster you chase around your ship using only the SSD. SL1 is of course the famous Juggernaut. I'd have to pull dow ... |

Yeah, it's under "Downloads" on the Master Index link. Just search the player resource page for "monster". It's up-to-date to C4 and Y1, whichever came most recently. |

Just note that the boarding diagrams put the neck transporter in the starboard area, more easily accessed from that shuttlebay or wing than from C Hull boxes. (The probe is port.) The SR conversion fr ... |

I can see wanting the impulse engines on the outboard to direct the exhaust past the aft bubble, but, considering ships can go backwards on impulse, there are probably force field tricks that make tha ... |

The only pre-paint model I've found in physical stores is one D-7. I hope this means they sold well. The D-7 measures four inches, a "head" longer than the Matt Jefferies comparison drawing: ... |
