I would sugest finding a store that sells a large selection fishing supplies and checking out their selection of boxes. While the evil empire has boxes to chose from, a store dedicated to fishing can provide you with quite a surprising selection.

I go to an old canadian store that specializes in ...

Well I've never played by email before, but I'm interested in trying, so if you have space for a newbie I'll play.

I like the idea of this format, but if I win any games I'll have to come up with a good excuse for my wife on why I need more ship cards! LOL

If you do decide to play an online version of your campaign, I'd be interested. I have a lack of players to play against regularly and would love to have a way to play the game more.

Plus it's always better at the end when I've crushed everyone and have their people in my mines! :P

Yes it does change the link for everyone. It's a very easy change to make, so if it isn't what you want it can be changed back easily.

I will add that people who use PHPBB regularly will find the change less than satisfactory. When I made the change on my wife's forum most of the people were ...

A couple things I forgot to mention.

If you want to go directly to a post, you will need to click the subject link in the post. Any other links just take you to the topics or forum.

The change will also show the posters name and the toal posts in a topic, so I guess if you know a topic was quiet ...

Ok I think I have a better idea what you want.

If you have someone who can edit your php files on your server, then you can have something more along the lines you want. It still won't show you the total new posts in the topics, but at least you will see the individual posts.

In PHPBB ver 2 (based ...

I'm curious why you chose to go reverse instead of using your own HET and picking speed 8? If you were going reverse speed 8 it would have cost you 4 points of power, but a HET and speed 8 would only cost 3 1/4 points plus have the advantage of turning a fresh shield to him. Was there a tactical ...

I might be unclear on what the difference is (it's been a long time since I made real use of a discuss board) but the "view posts since last visit" link on the top right corner of the index page does essentially the same thing. It doesn't show the first 40 characters of the post, but it does show ...

Apparently the set of everyone does not include my wife or two small children. Being carefully cut out and placed in a new binder to be stored safely out of the way is a better fate than a lot of my stuff meets. :)

Thanks guys.

Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but all good info. I guess I might have to cut the R and S sections out of my old books before I get rid of them.

Ok another question.

I was looking at the master rule book and it say sit doesn't have the ship descriptions. Does this mean it is missing all the R and upwards sections from the various books? I understand the annexes are not part of it, and would buy that seperately, but just want clarification ...

Thanks for the info guys.

The last thing I bought in 1990 was actually the pre-release of the Captains edition of the basic set. It has a book of ssd's that cover a whole bunch of fleets. For some reason I also have the Captains Module K for fast patrol ships dated 2000. Not sure how or why I got ...

Getting back into Star Fleet Batles

Hi,

I used to play SFB way back when I was in University. I collected pretty much everything until about 1990 and still have all of it stored away. A little while ago I stumbled across Federation Commander and got hooked on it. After a few games with it, a friend and I started talking about SFB and ...
