"Anyone want to fire?"
"I'll fire my photons."
"Well then I'll fire my disruptors."

I think it's common sense. No-one is going to force BoM down the throats of the FC players; I'm sure nobody wants to. But for those who fancy using the extra detail, there is the standard ruleset of ... |

Mike,
I like the WoW card idea and have considered it for game using Star Wars mini space fighters. But the number of cards required for squadron vs squadron might be a bit much.

Now that is cool ! How did you keep your copy looking so new?
I foolishly sold my copy MANY years ago when I sold off most of my board game collection (made sense at the time as I was getting i ... |

Nope, there's an older one!
As for options, no doubt that some players like more options. And more options. And then a few more. With just a couple more for variety.

For those of us who started with Task Force game's SFB that's really our reference point.
Like so many systems (BattleTech, Squad Leader, etc.) there's a tendency to keep loading up the Christmas t ... |

FC can be all of that, but moving those ships hex-by-hex does sometimes get tedious.
Since even an FC veteran such as Junior finds the sub-pulse system tedious enough to dispense with it at range ... |

Obviously you don't actually agree with that, or you wouldn't be using ship charts from SFB, weapons from SFB, etc... The sub-pulse system which you decry as being "close" to SFB is actuall ... |

By all means skip the sub-pulses on the way in when everyone's still 30 hexes away from each other. But up in close they're where the game is actually won or lost. Remove them and you're no longer pl ... |

I've actually tightened up some impulses so there were not sub-pulses either. Particularly when everyone gets separated by a decent bit of space and no one is counting on each hex. Anything to speed ... |

We're FC heretics and have made a number of mods to make the game play faster and cleaner. We felt there were way too many artifacts from SFB that slowed things down without significant benefit. The ... |

In fleet scale a Fed Battle Frigate could inflict about 40 points of damage in an Alpha Strike (excluding its Drone which could do another 12). That's enough to drop the front shield and inflict 22+ p ... |
