Federation Commander

I'm a GURPS guy and I have been for decades. I just can't stand D20, having tried it for Deadlands (blah), Heavy Gear (egads that sucked) and Mutants and Masterminds (hey, what do you know, that actu ...

Secondly, and really more importantly to me, for whatever reason the e23 cards are not tournament legal. I have no idea why this decision was made, but it was and that is the primary reason I own non ...

How do you think the Gorn ship got away in the TOS episode Arena???
I dunno. The author said so?

I will take the range-8 shot at rear shields when flying a Fed, particularly if it is near the end ...

I feel like a complete doofus over this. I'm a huge GURPS guy, but never noticed the FC/SFB stuff at e23 until the other day when I saw someone, here, talk about the Reference Rulebook. Needless to ...

The last three posts are exactly my problem. It's very much putting all your eggs in one basket. If you hit with your photons, you, very likely, have one less enemy to worry about. If you miss with ...

May I suggest you play with and against every race in the game a few times?
Working on that, but I'm limited by both opponents (not that many around here) and ship cards (but I'm collecting more).

I do think that in general, before denouncing a weapon or a rule, we ought first to question our undestanding of the rules, and then the rightness of our tactics.
And this is why I'm here. I'm sayi ...

Consider this. Why would a fleet sit in open space and just take a pounding?
Because if you're defending a stationary target, a fixed, small map makes no sense. Your attackers know where the target ...

Mark, you seem to have misunderstood the rules. It doesn't take four turns to overload your photons. Overload energy can be added on either of the arming turns, or afterwards too.
Aha, okay, that's s ...

Much as it bugs me when I have to do it myself, I might suggest you probably have to write the post afresh...

Grumble-grumble-grumble
Mutiny-mutiny-mutiny

I'll have to see about that when I get ...

Maybe get rid of the space, and merge the two words into "you're"?

Testing:
I see what you

ETA: Man, my post is fail; I even retyped the first line.

Mark, sometimes the board acts oddly if you try to enter in characters that it doesn't like (dipthongs, Greek letters, etc). If you can edit whatever character is just after the point your entry is be ...

I'm going to try breaking my post up, and seeing if it'll take.

I see what you

Nope.

I see what you

ETA5: I keep trying to actually put my post in, but it won't take it. I can edit it, but if I put my post in, it deletes it. It's censorship! (It isn't, I know that, I'm being fa ...

What is good about the Photon: 16 points of damage in one hit.
At a range where you'd already likely taken 24+ points from another weapon. Sure a single-outlay of 16 points is massive (akin to an Au ...
