Federation Commander

I would love to see them also -- but they were left out for a reason -- Simplicity

I sort of asked this earlier in the thread too: why do t-bombs/mines need to be complex at all? Just remove all the time-consuming mine-sweeping/laying rules in SFB, and then they become incredibly simple (explody ...

On Basilisk Station starts out with the People's Repbulic of Haven, ( Welfare State in space that is expansionist primarily to pay the welfare recipients in order to keep the Legislaturist families in power), setting their sites on the Star Kingdom of Manticore ( Small, Constitustional Monarchy ...

*chuckles* I think some of you are partialy describing the Battletech background with a generous helping of the Honorverse as a side dish. :)

Well, I did own a copy of Saganami Island Tactical Simulator from Ad Astra Games... sadly destroyed along with my F&E collection, FC collection and half of ...

Well lets see...

Juding from the history, real "weapons" did not exist during the time of prosperity, as they were not needed, except on some military/police "protector" ships. Before that (Early Years time) they may well have been needed, before everyone decided to combine for the better good ...

I love it!

Rules for thier ships would be needed as well, but as for the actual storyline, it's developing well :D

My one concern is that It would have to appear first in SFB before FC. I myself am not a SFBer, but perhaps I can get the master rulebook if we are serious about moving forward with ...

I like it! Here are a few more:
[snipped - they're in my post below!]

I think if we're serious, maybe someone should email ADB or something. Whatcha' guys thinking?

Brilliant :D I'd love to help out on constructing a background on this empire, how it grew and how it eventually splintered. If ADB ...

Very true ! They could be Canadians ! :lol: Half-kidding aside, this is a cool idea. Taken to its logical -ahem- conclusion, collectivist thinking would ultimately result in something like the Borg, assimilation of all sentient species encountered.

The Borg couldn't be communist though, they're ...

Dan, those are some great points and ideas! I think though that part of the attraction of Space Nazis/Commies/whatever is that there's a certain thrill to be gained by fighting against alternate-future-history versions of our historical adversaries. We could certainly make more creative economic ...

I'm *hugely* excited about this project, Battlestations is a wonderful system! The prospect of actually moving the crew about the bridge and other stations of SFU starships while having space adventures sounds like great fun to me

Here's hoping it sees release sooner rather than later!

Funny :lol: . But it might offend someone and lose ADB sales or even get a lawsuite filed.

As someone who used to have spirited debates on Tuesdays at the pub with members of the Socialist Worker's Party, I would say 'No, no it wouldn't.' In fact they'd probably be pleased at the implication ...

Nobody ever said that this had maps of the insides of starships.

The one with maps of the insides of starships is KRAG (Klingon Rapid Assault Group).

Yes, I was just noting what you said since many folks (myself included) weren't sure how the scale of Star Fleet Marines would compare with full ...

Random replies:

"One last thing last I read actual starships will not be on the ground in the first Module if ever they would be bigger than the entire map."

Completely wrong. The starshp enterprize would be three or four hexes long, and there are rules for landing starships.


Very cool!

On ...

So excited for this! I love the Andros in SFB, happy to see them in FC now. Now I just have to wait however many years to get the Andros in F&E too...

Any chance of getting the Andro BB as a super-sized battleship card in the future?

Add me to the list of people who are super hyped about this release! We've got the ability to play out F&E engagements on a more detailed level with SFB for a long while, and now finally we can play out ground battles in detail too. I can only imagine the epic campaigns that will result.

SO glad to ...

Done. I hope she finds our input helpful as you folks decide what to put on e23 in the future!
