Disruptors have that advantage because they lack the shock attack of empires that use multi-turn weapons. Photons and Disruptors produce the same damage over time, but the photons do it every other tu ...

The problem here is that anyone using serious drones is also probably using disruptors, and those are actually tougher to survive, in my experience. If you're up against, say, Kzinti, and you're looki ...

ncrcalamine's estimate of a BR's chances with that weapons loadout is probably pretty accurate, but I think a lot of choosing options mounts comes down to a choice of playing style. Disruptors can be ...

About the only thing I can add to the answers here is that in Fedcom, drones and seeking weapons take some skill to use well, and until you get a little experience with the game, you likely won't get ...

The F5W is a nasty piece of work. I know people who will argue that it's underpointed. I don't think it is, but I've shredded a few Fed ships with them.

The F5 is a bit fragile to be dueling with a ...

SFB tactics will frequently get you shot up in Fedcom. They are two different games. I never played a lot of SFB, and in none of the games of it that I played did I ever encounter Hydrans or Lyrans. I ...

I like the Middle Years a great deal. Power tends to be a bit scarce as compared to the GW era, and this can force some interesting tactical choices. Someone mentioned the weaker flank and rear shiel ...

Recently, I spent a pleasant afternoon introducing some new players to Fedcom. In this case there were two players who were new to the game. I keep running into pairs of new players, and once again I ...

Leonard Nimoy attained something that I suppose every actor wants, but few ever get, which was an "everybody always remembers", as in everybody who sees it always remembers it. Sometimes a r ...

The words defensive and offensive can be used in misleading ways, sometimes deliberately so. A surface to air missile is often referred to as a defensive weapon, since it is used for air defense. But ...

It was a closely contested fight between my Klingon squadron (A DWL and two D7s), and a Tholian squadron. I was sure I was done for when a mass of drones went sailing in through a down forward shield ...

How far would the Feds have to run before they were assumed to be safe? Do they have to make the Neutral ZOne, or do they have to actually cross back into Federation space?

Start at range 5. Both ...
