Federation Commander

In theory a greatly simplified strategic game that allows you to run battles via FedCom (or ACTA:SF if the game survives long enough) is a nice idea. But isn't there the possibility of said new system cutting into the sales of F&E? Or might it bring in more players who don't like the complexity of ...

If FA is that complex, maybe it ought to be scaled back considerably. Campaign systems shouldn't be more complex than the game that they are serving as the backdrop for, at least not any that I would use.

I'd much rather see something that provided a basic system with a few extra rules for the ...

I am also interested in FA being released as soon as possible. My group plays every week and we have been trying to cobble together a campaign system from scratch using F&E, SFB and FC elements. Federation Admiral would be a giant help and well worth whatever money you ask for.

While you're ...

I'm a campaign guy, although I've been playing a lot of point-match games to teach others how to play and get used to the rules myself. It's easier to learn cloaking and plasma if you're not having to worry about any other objective other than sneaking up on an enemy and flinging fireballs at them ...

Thanks, Mike!

Here is the link to the first draft of the rules.

The rules are actually fairly simple, there is just a lot of nuance to cover hedge cases and provide fun options (like the Exploration tables). With a slight bit of ...

Sounds like the Klingon Invasion / Romulan Invasion games being used as a campaign generator.

Still a cool ideal just not a new one.

Wow. Been in the gaming for awhile and never saw those. Still, the idea of pocketbox games isn't new either, but it still seems like a fairly marketable concept ...

As I've been working on my campaign for the 5th Klingo-Kzinti War ( http://www.starfleetgames.com/federation/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=5158 ) it has occurred to me that the system I'm building for it would actually make for a great light wargame that could be played in 1 or 2 hours. The 5th KK War ...

Still working out the rules, but here is the map for the campaign...

A project I'm working on for grad school has evolved into a reason for a new FC campaign and I'm building a system around using historical battles from the SFU, with each fleet from the various conflicts being set up based on the fleet lists from Federation Space. As my players are keen on Kzintis ...

We haven't changed anything.

Well, it seems to be appearing and disappearing randomly. Normally it is:

But lately, all I can see is the bottom one except on rare occasions when it pops up and then disappears again when I reload ...

Where'd it go? It was very convenient...

Thanks. I appreciate all the input. Work has picked up and it may be a few weeks before I can get back to correcting a few things and continuing on with the Hydrans. Is anyone interested in getting the pdf files to print their own Tholians and Kzinti fleets?

Most definitely. One of my campaign ...

I'm assuming that a ship's PV is a result of variable system costs based on hull type as well as some playtest based adjustment jiggery-pokery. Whatever the case, I'd like to know how the particular systems pan out, point wise.

It's not all replicators. Some of it is spare parts that are too hard to replicate. Some of it is switching to back up systems, or patching together parts of two systems. (For a long time, the second phone line in my house was using circuit #2 on the front half of the building and circuit #3 on the ...
