And the last sentence was meant to be: Anyway, that is me done. o7

Rather than using my Mac, I was writing this on my iPad in Safari, which apparently uses the curly quotes unliked by the forum software; hence me now writing as Data speaks

suggest adding a communique column to the master ship list.

Such a column has been there for 15 years.

:shock: Ok, I sense a degree of condescension there that I do not think was warranted. Fair enough if you are exasperated by the mistake I made, but it was not as obvious as you think it is. I ...

I've finished going through the cards included in my Romulan Border set and found them all in the communiques. I've perfected my workflow and have cleaned them up to trim the margins for my personal printing.

Just one niggle - the fleet scale version of the Romulan Condor Dreadnought CON is only ...

I'm surprised that your PDFs (that I've tried so far) have off-white between the bottom of the fractional power numbers and the bottom border. I need to manually correct to make it pure white so it doesn't waste ink, but I was having to do the same with the scans, too, and it's just as easy to fix ...

Now that I know all the ships in the physical products do have pdf ship cards one way or the other (communique or ship packs), I need to work out whether I get better quality by a) scanning the physical cards that I do have and making up my own pdfs (I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting my ...

Huh... I composed my reply in a text editor and it looks like the forum doesn't like the curly apostrophes that were in it any more than the british pound symbol... (though it looked ok in preview). Take two.
[Mod: I deleted the truncated post. Yes, smart punctuation breaks the posting on the forum ...

Oh, looks like my last sentence got truncated... I had used the British pound symbol just were it was truncated.... maybe that broke something?

It was meant to be:

Anyway, just some hopefully seen-to-be constructive suggestions from someone who will likely now buy a couple of more physical FC ...

Feedback from a FC rookie on the PDF offerings

A few years ago, I came across Marcowargamer's videos on Federation Commander and thought FC was like something I'd like to get into -- less complicated than SFB (which I tried in the 90s), but closer to BattleTech, which I thoroughly enjoy. So I ordered Romulan Border, had some fun, and started to ...

I just subbed to the forums to post some feedback on FC and came across this thread...

Such good news! I'd been anticipating Traveller PD for what seems... a decade? Gosh... it's been a long time. Every couple of years I'd do some digging to see if there were any updates, but eventually gave it up ...
