I was reading through the updated core book and noticed that ECM no longer moves missiles around, but instead causes them to sort of freeze in their tracks for...
ECM misleads a missile into thinking the target is in its hex somewhere but it just can't find it. The missile still zips around at amazing speeds within the...
I both love and hate that answer ;). It means the missile behavior conforms to classical physics, but makes it harder to pick off missiles with the cannon. ...
Hey guys,    Anyone ever play Galaxy Truckers. It uses similar game mechanics when figuring hit allocation. -Adam Hey guys, Anyone ever play Galaxy...
I was actually coming here to the forum to see where these were available. I saw them on Boardgame Geek, but didn't find anything on the Paradigm site. I'm...
I thought I should come out and report that this game was in fact a blast. JJ kept us on the ropes all of the way, but in the end we pulled it out. To sum up...
Galaxy Trucker is a fun game! So long as your a fan of trying to control chaos. While the hit allocation is similar, and the they're both space themed,...
Excellent report! And thanks for running the game, Jonah! Admiral Siadek Out! ... From: smcclure415 To: battlestations@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June...
I was hoping that galaxy trucker borrowed the mechanic from me but now it looks like Crimson Skies predated us both. Sigh. Admiral Siadek Out! ... From: Adam...
 Don't worry Jeff. Crimson Skies was quite a bit fiddly in it's own rights. Roll for hit location, then roll to see where the template of the bullet...
["Jeff Siadek"] ... When Crimson Skies came out, I was told that the hit allocation was cribbed pretty directly from Renegade Legion, which was also a FASA ...
I've never played Crimson Skies, but it sounds like the damage allocation system you describe goes back even further to FASA's Centurion, part of the Renegade...
Hey All, Here's a quick heads up. Jason and I will be participating in an online chat at rpgbomb.com next Wednesday June 9th at 6 pm Pacific time so please...
Galaxy Trucker is a blast! A simple overview (I'm leaving some steps out): Everyone starts out with the smallest ship template, and a pile of ship components...
As part of a large D&D event at KublaCon 2010, I may need some battlestations players to play a largish game on Sat afternoon/evening/night. How many of you...
I enjoyed KublaCon this year. It was my first. The Battlestations game was a highlight, but there was a lot of fun stuff going on. I had a great time, and...
Question that has come up in my group. Since target locks are from the Science Bay, does a ship with target locks need to have a functioning Science Bay (not...
That is a good question and an oversight on my part. A ship must have a functioning Science Bay to use Target Locks. Admiral Siadek Out! ... From: ademonh To:...
Hey everybody, I'm going to be running my very first session of BS in just a few hours and I'm very excited! However, I just found out that I'm going to have...
the problem with switching out a weopon for life support is that in addition to the 5 players they also have 3 additional bots that you have to alot for. ...
Second both of these suggestions. Doing a LS Swap out on a size five is very difficult. Was looking at that option when running Bad Apple Shakedown Cruise,...
I concur with Runyan that taking their cannon away could be harmful to play balance and that giving them a size 6 ship is really the way to go. The bottom...
kainthedragoonx, A size 5 ship only has one life support module. A single life support module supports 4 crew members and with 6 player characters aboard the...
