The Sourcebook looks really good so far. The only thing I can see that I would have liked is the ships/forces listings be in ISD order rather than by class....
Todd, For crossovers, you mean if the League suddendy found itself faced with, "the other League" ;) ? In that case, yea, I would say the Boltians and ...
Has anyone given consideration for doing a crossover of the Starmada background to VBAM? Once the rubric is established to port ships to Starmada, bringing...
Hi, I may have missed this, but where are the rules for pricing units (I'm new to the game) and how much maintenance they need? Another way of stating this ...
... I am still working on getting a working document put together to explain all that (will probably be after the Empire Rising book is released before I will...
Hello Stephen and welcome to the group, Hey, we would be happy to help if the Starmada crew wanted to pursue it. I personally am not too familiar with the...

... Always a good sign -- a little demoralizing when you have to back and tweak things early on in the process. It will be interesting to see how the game...
... That's been the toughest part so far, actually. I'm in the midst of trying to come up with a universe that is exciting and inspires the imagination but...
... The last post to the B5W forums sounded like a good start, and helped to add sufficient disbelief to accept a group of giant snowzos living on the cold...
Howdy! The prime problem with play testers in the gaming community is that 90% of them are introverts. Typically they will not volunteer information. You have...
... and ... Howdy! While my group did join the VBAM playtesting group near the end, I never felt that any feedback we could give would be genuinely accepted...
I would be willing to help with any conversion of Starmada to VBAM... I would also like to see it. The big sticking point would be getting a map created that...
... I have always seen these being reversed. After all Dreadnought comes from the HMS Dreadnought which, at the time (1906), was the biggest and baddest ...
... That is setting specific. In the case of the HMS Dreadnought, it was surpassed by other larger battleship/dreadnought type ships, so it is fairly nebulous...
... It depends on which universe and/or timeframe you look at. If you look at the historical progression the HMS Dreadnought was the first ship of the line...
I agree this is definetly setting specific. For BK, the DN mold is broken by the costant improvements in the Pacification Cruiser line by the Kuissians, while...
This is all great input to my desire to resurrect the old Star Fleet Wars stuff into a VBAM source item. The original rules have the number of ships built in...
We have even more write-ups on ship creation if you want to look at the raw details, most of this was written with help from Dan and Bren who drew up alternate...
Sounds like you have a large project ahead of you! I never saw the original Star Fleet Wars game, but I have seen pictures of the MKP miniatures that went to...
Hey everyone, As promised, you can now look in the YahooGroup's files section and find a new folder called "Empire Rising Preview". Contained in this folder is...

One thing I want to point out is that the points costs for the capital ships are insane compared to most other sources. This is intentional for two reasons....
I was testing out the VBAM rules by running the first turn in setup for my campaign (which I will bounce out here for general comment shortly). The intent is...
