Federation Commander

The bad thing is that I am working on the Dragonmeet Launch . Damn you change of shifts.

The Fleet box sets look good value for money. Plenty of ships for a decent basis to start your Fleet. Then add the odd little blister to boost them up.

Though in playtests some of the single ships made avaliable we used multiples. If the blisters follow along Noble Armada mini's the small ships ...

For example say you have 20 starting Shields. You are down to 10. You Boost Energy to Shields special ...

Shield repairs can be done with Boost Energy to Shields . This adds a d6 to the Shield score for every 10 points of Starting Shields. This can boost them past the starting score for that turn. They following turn they return to the starting score if they are higher than the starting score.

Lowering ...

Have played Romulans vs Federation.

Suicide Shuttles are hardly ever used just normal Shuttles in our games. These Shuttles are used as part of the Defensive Fire screen vs Plasma / Drones. They are very effective.

Evasive Maneuavers was used a lot by the Fed player and Intensify Defensive Fire ...

I will send you our playtest findings Scoutdad no problems.
