General questions

Post by paulgenna »

Hello Everyone,

Have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can answer.

1) Tholian bases - The small counter map has three web rings but the large one only 2. Is there a large map with three? Should there be three on the large and the player adds them?
2) In the rule book section 7L does not show. Where is this rule and can I get the details?
3) Is there an update ship list The latest was from 2019 on the website.

Thanks for all you do. This game is awesome.

The big hex map does not have room for the third ring.

7L is one of the empires. Let me find it. It is the Lyran Democrats. They show up in several products (Battleships Attack, Distant Kingdoms, Hydran Attack, Reinforcements Attack).

The only ships added since 2019 were a few in the newsletter. I should update the list but I have had real work to do and priorities didn't reach down as far as adding a few weird ships (like the flying pumpkin) to the list.

The large map has only 2 rings because there wasn't room for a third one.

7L is the Lyran Democratic Republic. They're in one of the expansions.

The last time we needed to update anything was 2019.

Are there any upcoming expansions or updates planned for the game that might introduce new factions or mechanics? :oops:

The latest addition was Gunboats Attack! which introduced gunboats/PFs into Federation Commander. However, it was a pure PDF product, so to get it, you need to hit DriveThruRPG or Warehouse23. But gunboats are definitely fun!

What comes next is currently being decided, which could be Fighters Attack! or X-Ships Attack! Or maybe something different; not sure yet.

Is there any chance that this will be developed as a physical product?

We will look into it, depending on whether we sold enough of that last card batch to be worth doing this batch.

Thanks SVC. I hope it is. My 12 year old is finally starting to get interested and I am hoping to lure him in with new stuff :)
