Federation Commander

Question about the movement tracking on the cards. How come 6" is not included on the movement track? There is a potential for movement to drop by 2", 4 times (twice from Impulse Drive criticals 1 and 2 and twice from Dilithium Crystal criticals 1 and 4). So shouldn't it be 12", 10", 8", 6", 4", and ...

In Boost Energy to Shields, a ship with less than 10 starting shields can add 1d3 shields. Is this correct or it should be 1d6?

Under admin shuttles, it says each shuttle can carry 2 marines, but the table says 1. Which is correct? (According to the old rules, it was 1)

I noticed that the mounts are different heights. did you drill larger holes to insert them and some you didn't? Or can you purchase shorter mounts to just glue on?

lol, funny I can picture that happening

I like the corsec hex bases...I was wondering though, do you think I could just buy the hex bases and then glue the Mongoose pegs into the base? Or is the hole in the base too big/small? This way I can interchange my starships with ball/socket into the mongoose base or switch it to the hex base.

My resin C8 was kind of a mess and needed a lot of cleanup and I was hoping to get another one if it did come out in metal.

I just got my Klingon Fleet Box. All of the minis were metal except for the C8 dreadnought. Will this eventually be metal as well?

Anyone replace the bases on the Starline 2500 line with hexes so that you can use them on a hex map for Federation Commander? I saw on the Litko.com site that they had 1" hex stands but I wasn't sure if they'd work with the larger ships.

I was a big Star Fleet Battles fan years ago, and just recently read about Federation Commander and wanted to get back into it. I also wanted to start with the Starline 2500 miniatures, but I've never really seriously painted any miniatures. Do any of you have any simple tips for someone like me? I ...
