My son and I had a good time Friday night with the latest playtest. This was the first battle using Kzintis and the variable speed plots. Both seemed to work quite well. The Kzintis were deemed to ha ... |

Well, looking at the ship cards, it appears that the drone racks are already four-spaces like Fed Com, not six like SFB. Not sure why my memory on that was off but it looks like this is already addre ... |

Forum: Other Amarillo Design Bureau Products Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:29 am Subject: Drone Rack Types |
It appears that Fed Com changed all drone rack types to either four-space A-racks or G-racks. The G-racks look identical in TFC but the other racks retain their six spaces as in SFB. Is that on purpos ... |

Forum: Other Amarillo Design Bureau Products Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:23 am Subject: Klingon BPVs |
The BPVs may go up based on drone speeds. SFB assumes speed 8 drones so upgrading those using the SFB point system might account for the difference unless you already factored that into your numbers. ... |

I thought based on the conditions of the scenario that the Klingons really needed to just attack our warships and ignore the freighters. Once we were destroyed or mission killed then the freighters w ... |

But the Feds could not win if the freighters were destroyed so we did feel it wise to use our ships to try and protect the freighters. Although I will admit it did not occur to me to send one of our s ... |

So I have played the game a few times (Feds vs. Klingons only) and the immediate turn-offs for me were as follows, not in order of significance:
1) Klingon front shield rule: This is a misguided at ... |

With plasma, remember getting a full power hit in SFB and FedCom is very difficult, as well. You have to anchor, zero-energy anchor (launch at 1 or 0 when target ship does not move), or the target has ... |

Bob,
I also need to show you my idea for simulating mid-turn speed changes. While it could be too complicated, I think it could work and might make plotting for the turn even more interesting with ... |

We do need to do the Kzinti ships in both duels and squadrons/fleets. It will be super interesting. These battles will be a good test of the drones. Several things to consider:
