Federation Commander

I run: Deadlands, In Nomine, Pendragon, 7th Sea, L5R, D&D birthright and ravenloft and Marvel Superheroes.

I'm really wanting to do some sci fi stuff.

Actually, Sinister, the Siadek brothers and I have been working on Star Fleet Battle Stations for a year now. This uses "gunboats" (e.g., Klingon G1) since you need 400 characters on 14 decks to run a cruiser, but it's great for RPGs since it gives you the "Too bad that Fred was in the engine room ...

Not watching my opponet's use power (I think one was cheating). Not using turn mode markers (we WILL be using these from now on)

Not keeping track of an opponet's photons or other large charging weapons.

always being prepared for a high energy turn alpha strike.

battlestations is great for this, to bad it's not trek related.

thanks!

I may try this, just for something different since I've never played gurps.

I've never played gurps, do I need some sort of core book with Prime Directive?

Ok so what are the ruleset choices for prime directive? And if I use d20 what players handbook do I use?

I'm thinking of running a star trek special forces game where the players end in up romulan space with their ship getting blown up.

I would be very interested in running FC in PD

are you saying keep them in the same hex?

I'm reading timelines right now!

I would agree with that

I might like prime directive. I assume all the same restrictions are in that game with the license?

Like could there be stats for Kirk or Spock, or is that not part of the agreement?

I'm a total newbie but I would think maybe getting the large ship to follow one of your ships at long range and then close in from behind with the other. Make him unload from far away, less damage with phasers and not overloaded photon strikes. You should get more shots than him. Maybe the distance ...

hey gang,

Anyone from near Ft. Wayne we are going to be playing every other week, alternating with battlestations. If you are interested in joining us for some Fed Action, please let me know!
