... Agreed. I noticed that as well. I figured that the mapboard could be replace by a single row of hexes. Star Fleet Battles avoids this by using *facing*....
Interesting. I noticed that the turn scale was supposed to be one to three months. This would imply that the planets move around the board as their orbits...
... That's why I enjoyed the Alkeda Dawn system they eventually published for Starfire. Instead of a warp point, you had a warp cone. Ships jumped into a 10 -...
... Now my analysis is that the defenders need *some* kind of advantage, or there is no strategic game. If I understand you correctly, you complain that the...
I have heard of other E-Bay problems with South American Shipping. Perhaps if you found an agent in the States. You could produce a batch of ships and send...
... Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. ... Well, to be annoyingly pendantic, the stutterwarp is *not* a reactionless drive, at least not as defined by Ken's...
... Yes, now it has hit the big time. Brian ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page ...
... small ... I could always talk to my dad, I guess. Cost of labor down here is ridiculuosly low, so I could do things at a reasonable price, even so. If I...
Here's what I'd like to see, personally. A space combat systemn that allows one to play out a leet action on a board and in a time scale similar to that of the...
Greetings: "Why make an elegant system and unplayable piece of crap?" Well, as usual, I'm coming in on what is probably the tail-end of the conversation. Why...
... Yes, though because the board is a pie-slice, the outer planets' full orbits don't show. I guess that the crisis represented by the game was triggered by...
Here's the house rules we came up with for a more naval flavor to SFB. Drones and plasma torpedoes move at speed 64 (Warp 4), with the same endurance in...
... Yes, this is pretty much my ideal, as well. My _Stellar Conquest_/_Triplanetary_ succeeded in this regard (the players fought out several memorable fleet...
Don't get me wrong, Fred. I LOVE mindless space opera. The problem is, with the supplements added in, that's exactly what Starfire WAS NOT. Hell, it became as...
... Perhaps you could adapt the rules from: http://www.phil-barker.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DBSA.htm It's called "Damn Battleships Again".... ..or, use part of...
Greetings: This surfaced on the SF-Consim list... <http://www.mega-traveller.com/ship/ship.html> Fred Kiesche (FPK3) My books are water; those of great...
I've toyed with Damn Battleships again and am currently messing around with SFoS, the game I'm buiding those grey and blue ships for. Note that DBA ships have...
... I've actually never even seen the rules for the block games, are they online somewhere? I suppose that once you've got a way to do the blocks, it would be....
One of my favorite artists is Chris Foss, though not many people remember the name, they do remember the work. Found some galleries online, and thought I'd...
... They're not all the same, but they do have certain points in common. One is the tendency to have step-loss in up to four levels. Another is that most of...
... Maybe because it *is* default parts from Doga. The artist recently expressed an interest in learning how to do 3D computer graphics and I suggested he look...
... No, Columbia Block Games is rather strict about publishing their game rules, especially since their games are so pricy. You can find a description of what...
Winchell I have a question for you, how long did it take you to learn to work with Blender and to create the superb graphics you've done on those ships! I...
Greetings: "Don't get me wrong, Fred. I LOVE mindless space opera." Well, there's the difference between SF and the SF novels. In one you need to sweat to get...
Greetings: "This supposed to be a Warpship?" I don't know what it is supposed to be yet. The person that did it had been working on a RPG and board games based...
Greetings: I remember him quite well from tons of British paperbacks that I found for some reason in New Brunswick, New Jersey (USA) when I was in college. He...
