Federation Commander

I also agree with the others above. Keep in mind shock rules for Heavy Weapons (and in my opinion certain types of Phasers) sometimes need special rules to install or even offset the design philosophy.

For example, the CFS is a Fed Heavy weapons Photon Cruiser. It fires it Photons to the side ...

I create whole new designs all the time, but I hardly ever release my materials. Mostly because backing up my theories to newbies is time consuming and the old Doomsday protocals are as about as useless as Vaticant-I going to Vaticant-II for scientific purposes.

For example, there are tons of ...

Also keep in mind that the TOS series says that only 12(13) of the constitution class where built. However, we know that the basic hull concept was still produced after the class retired. For example, CCH hulls where produced numerously after the CA+ retired.

To give another opinon on your question ...

A master scenario book would be nice for FC. SFB use to have a module that did just that. Can't remember what it was called though.

I see, I did not know this. This information was quite helpful.

Speed 40 Plasma is actually an advanced (X2 i guess?) Tech used during the Trade wars and beyond. Its not really broken, its just not used in Federation Commander. The Insurance doesn't cover certain advanced systems of ADB.

Is anyone on this message board interested in other Custom Factions besides just Romulans, Klingons, and Gorn? I could use a little help.

I thought only Torpedo Weapons and Drones could ever be fired during warp. Partical weapons can only be used at sublight speeds. But then again thats only what Star Trek Says.

Is the Manta-Ray class an X1 design?

I had thought that perhaps there was some kind of "space warp generator" - not an engine per se, but something like the unit that needs to replaced on the Queen's starship in Star Wars Ep I, that isn't represented on an SSD. This actually makes more sense.

Interesting theory. "Non-tactical" warp ...

That is a neat chart! I knew about the W-era mostly from old Romulan Designs during the first war between Starfleet and the Romulan Star empire. SFB says this is suppose to be around Y45 or something. Most of the time I stick around Basic Era and X1.

When I was growing up in the Dynaverse, I ...

You know, you bring up an interesting fact about the angle struts versus the straight struts with the CS/BCH/DN. In my personal games, I never could understand why bother with the Original FCA. Ya, its the original design for the Federations Constitution class, but they used it for so many years ...

If it helps, there have been a series of monster articles in recent issues of Captain's Log ,

Also, the Branthodon Regime over in the Omega Octant used cloned, lobotomized Space Dragons as the basis for their hybrid Dragonships. These do not get quite the same range of bonuses as "wild" Space ...

Nerroth, thank you for this information about the RTN and Andromedan Displacement devices. I have read a little of there technology over the years but I have always had trouble understanding the rules to it. Most of my time is in the Early Years and Basic Era of vessel designs. Guess I'm just old ...

From my understanding, this basically correct. EPS power systems work with the same concept in Star Trek.
