Yep, when I get around to the ISC I plan to use the 'Ballistic' trait for PPD armed ships. Not a perfect fit, but good enough for the conversion. -will ... ...
Thanks for the heads up- I've been to Sean's site (have it bookmarked, actually) and have seen the Star Trek conversions. I believe they are done based on the...
Howdy! ... ship set there ... While the original conversions were based off the planetside B5 Wars SCS, I did manually adjust some things to make the...
Will, Until someone builds a computer program to run battles, there's nothing to stop you from making your own PPD trait that negates AS formation penaleties....
Where are the stats for civilian fleets such as trade, transport and colony fleets? There are at least a couple references to them being destroyed in combat...
In the campaign I am designing, I would like Commerce Raiding to play a part. After some thought, it occurred to me that a simple mechanic would be to have an...
Hi Kevin, I like it! Personally I think 10% is probably too low for the cost considering how far away most of the good trade routes are, and how well ...
Hmmm... Yeah, but that's why I said +10% per point of intel spent. Considering the difficulty and the possibility of defending intel, an attacker is likely to...
Actually, i found stats for civilian fleets in the BK Wars supplement, so I will go with those. ... colony fleets? There are at least a couple references to...
That was actually something that came up recently in that I don't think the Campaign Guide actually has any civilian fleet stats in them, just costs and a CC...
You could also considering some kind of innate installation or trait to defend against it too. Say, some kind of patrol station or counter-mission to keep...
... Actually for your source the Convoy system would be ideal. With regard to your question you are pretty close actually. A convoy point is basically treated...
The implication of the rules seems to be that you'd better escort your civilian fleets because, if attacked, they're toast otherwise.? This seems to be another...
... SCS, I ... I've found that even though my SFB-to-VBAM conversion metric tends to produce good results I've also had to manually tweak more then a few ships...
Howdy! ... That is my hope! ... The Halo conversions were fun. We can expect an update some time after Halo 3 and Halo Wars si9nce we know new units will be...
My first question is when the rules say 'the number of suicide shuttles and flights that can be deployed is equal to the command rating of the squadron...
The command limit for suicide units is for at any one time. If your kamikazes pop, you can launch more the next round up to your command limit. You might also...
Howdy! Another thought would be to create rules to allow fighters to increase formation bonus of a squadron they are in specifically for the interception of...
Howdy! As I am working on a project, I came to the Cloaking ability. Exactly how does this work in combat? It would seem that if I am reading the rules right...
When do you use Directed Damage/Formation Bonuses? And when don't you? Let's say that Task Force A wants to shoot the Flag Squadron of Task Force B. The Flag...

So, I was talking to one of my gaming buddies and what games we were playing lately, and I brought up VBAM. I asked if I could possibly interest him in a...
Actually, I really like that idea, and it seems pretty well thought out. As a fan of the Dragonstar-Setting, I'd love to take over the Dwarves of Halflings if...
I would think that you have to reactivate it, and the bonus to AS/AF would probably only work for one turn. That is how it works (or at least seems to work)...
Very neat William! I will have to look over it more, and try to learn more about the Dragonstar setting. I think a big part, just from what I read above, for...
I had tweaked around with something similar to this a while back, I will have to see if I can find my notes. But below I will list what I recall off of the...
