Federation Commander

I am interested.

Thanks for the responses. You guys rock.

Are the Jindarins going to make it into Federation Commander?

Shield crackers will have their damage converted into energy as any other weapon. So, an Intruder hit with two shield crackers will have to put 8 damage into their PA panel boxes. If the Intruder had only 4 remaining boxes on the PA panel track, the excess damage from the shield crackers would be ...

Cool, thanks for getting beck to me so quickly.

The ion torpedo gets both an overlaod and a proximity firing mode. Is the proximity photon going to be seen again?

What do you do if you have, say, 6 ships in one hex and a target vessel lies a couple of hexes away exactly along the "hex spine"? Can 3 of the ships fire out of one hexside and the other three fire at the same target out of the other hexside?
Why do you have to go and be difficult! :shock:

Hey, I have tried a Hydran Echelon and it worked well. The gun-line was very intimidating once the stingers were launched. No one wanted to get within two hexs of it. The gun-line was also good at "straining" seeking weapons targeted on the anchor ships. The major problem is that the fusion armed ...

In order to keep the BOM ship cards per product down to an acceptable level, I have two suggestions. Divide the ships by rules or by empire. So, have a BOM scouts, then BOM carriers and escorts, then BOM special weopons (maulers, stasis, ect.), BOM crazy ships the live on the edge, and so on. Or ...

I would think that a hit and run raid would be able to axe a few colonists. I would not allow bombardment to do the same. Keep the colonists in defensive bunkers capable of withstanding anything but a steady 15 turn bombartment with every gun a fleet would have.

I used to play starfleet a while back and just got into FedCom about a year ago. I never knew about the Omega races, but I would definitely have played them. I would like to see what there are about.

I have some questions regarding direct fire drones:

Are direct fire drones subject to the rule (sorry, don’t have my book to quote the number) limiting the number of units able to fire direct fire weapons on a single target from a single hex to three?

Would the direct fire drone rules apply for ...

If new cards were to be added, the armed freighters from Com-32 could be two cards. Annother card could be an armed or q-ship ore carrier. This batch would have the initial five cards from Mhwest plus three new ones.

Are Hydran attack and other special boosters are coming out soonish? If they are ...

Does this mean that stingers must always take asteriod damage at speed 16? That does not make sense to me, they should be able to go speed 8 in order to reduce the damage from terrain.

The hit and run raid with out transporting was what were using. My buddies were doing a base assault against me and I boarded the SSF. Then I realized I could not do anything with the damn thing. So, my opponents bowed to my logic and let me attempt to wreck the engines on the frieghter.

Thanks for ...
