Hi Steph, ... I really do enjoy the NPE rules. It makes playing a solo campaign quite unpredictable and very managable. They also make great templates for...

Hi Steph, ... Very nice!! I will run through a few encounters (which works since I have some non-related playtesting to do), but I like it! Everyone, please...
This is actually a rule I really wanted to dig deeper into as a web supplement. It would be very source dependent as some universes, like Star Wars, lend...
Hi Jay, I am interested - very much so. I think it could add a whole new dimension, making the game potentially even more fulfilling. I think commerce...
... I had to switch to the Visio file format to simplify the whole chart, so PDF is unfortunately not an option for the time being. If someone can export visio...
Steph, ... I heartily recommend this tool for "printing to PDF": http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ... So far so good, but I would like to try...
So to simplify again, I can have up to two negative traits and/or only use a -2 negative trait and have access to +4 Positive Traits for a net total of +2? ......
Steph, ... So far everything looks on schedule. Tyrel has been working like crazy to get this ready. ... Always time for VBAM, right ;) . ... Ouch. Have you...
... That is mostly correct; you can have a maximum of 2 negative traits right now, but there is no limit on their total value. So you could choose a -3 and -4...
... Hi Jay, ... Hopefully :D I've got turn completion down to about 10 minutes per empire when properly caffeinated. ... Not yet, he's still mulling over his...

I've got a list of questions/comments. Bear in mind that I spent much of my youth playing with excessive Min-Maxing Rules Lawyers, so I have a defensive ...
Once the CMC comes out, I'm planning to run a VBAM campaign. I'm going to use the races from the core book and Empire Rising, slightly adapted. I'm going to...
Hi Peter, (gah, your message doesn't seem to quote properly... damnable technology!) I'm assuming that you will raise the production level, but keep costs and...
The biggest problem I see with multiplying RAW times 10 is that you are going to end up with super-fleets, and (unless the rules for dock spaces / Productivity...
... You're telling me! In my solo FT campaign, I gave 4x production for starting forces, and half of the empires had to mothball ships on turn 2 or 3 for some...
... I usually try to put my interior or non-threatened military forces into Reserve status unless I have a good reason to keep some of them active. As long as...
Regarding wartime economics, I wanted to ask, does the production percentage include any trade production? In other words, say that I'm at peace, and I...
Steph, 36 points. Commerce is unaffected by a wartime economy. (60/2)+6 per turn. -Jay ... From: Steph didymus13@... Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2005 20:06:14 -0000...
... I have always played that trade is calculated entirely separate and does not impact the empire's total domestic product, so it doesn't have any extra...

Hey all: I was taking a look at the trait of "Incomprehensible Language" and came up with a new trait based on that. I'm not sure on the cost of the trait,...
... It is a possibility. I have tentatively added it to the list. I set it as -1 for cost, and have the tech investment cost of the research equal to 20% of...

No way! We need whiny busybodies. Nothing irritates the Centauris more. I'm not so sure we'll be flooded with people looking to play, so you may well get in...
