I've never found it worthwhile to pick off flagships with directed damage, but I do think you need to do it against starbases and capitals, right?
Surely the Klingons can't sit and let Alliance for ... |

I think a core issue with PD in any version is that people are trying to use it to play Trek-style adventures and campaigns. If you want to roleplay Trek, there have been a ton of good games made fo ... |

Yeah, that is the beauty about using the GURPS system. They do love thier

As a casual player of Train Games (Both TTR and 18XX), and having played MOTF in it's summer of 2012 draft, it's not a train game. It's fun, and pretty, but it's not a train game. It's a pickup and de ... |

Explosion strength of ship = its point value divided by 10 and rounded to nearest whole number.
