Shipyard Option 1 : Varying Size and Efficiency , requires the use of the Extended Ship Construction Times optional rule A) Efficiency Shipyards can be built with varying efficiencies. The efficiency of the shipyard will be indicated with a multiple, e.g. x .75 or x1 or x1.5, etc. This multiple is ...

Yes. Any shots taken at flights.

I actually kinda like BooBah - it's very mellow. But then it's usually on (here) at the crack of dawn, so that might have something to do with. ;) The only thing really annoying about Teletubbies is they do everything twice. Dragon Tales, on the other hand, now that's annoying. :P Other than a serio...

Starfleet Museum and Vintage Starships are both great places to have hours of your life sucked away.

-6 Tech Level? In Starmada? Ouch! Say hello to my 12 Hull frigate.

I need to repost my shipyard mods here on the forum, but essentially one of the options put restrictions on the number of different units a particular shipyard could build. Essentially, it could only hold the plans, equipment and forms (etc.) for a limited number of designs. Adding or replacing a de...

Perhaps to temper the large scale reductions in time and cost, it should depend on the number of consecutively built units. You build 20 hulls of a cruiser class and then stop as operational requirements are met. A conflict rears its ugly head and you find that you need more to replace losses and me...

I love the images you dug up for the ships. The Starfleet Museum site?

1.1 Endurance The Endurance rating of a ship indicates how many turns the ship can exist outside the normal supply system of its owner before it begins to accrue Out of Supply penalties. Each turn spent Out of Supply first reduces the ship’s Endurance rating by one, and the ship’s Endurance must be ...

I'm shifting my playtest game reports over to here from Jeremehovah's site. While I prefer the blog format, I'll try it here on the forum. I'm going to restart since I was only a few turns in so that I can incorporate the material from Tyrel's pending Star Charts. Of course, with MAS:WWII currently ...

Both, if I recall correctly.

I'm glad it's working out the way you like. Since we're still discussing how to make the CSCR better, that's very useful feedback.

I'm always leery of self-applying scarcity levels in a game where you design your ships. Odds are if you've designed a new ship, you have a purpose in mind, whether it's to counter a specific threat or to replace an existing design that's outlived its usefulness, or whatever. You then want to build ...

Nah, just use the forums to run a playtest game or two...they rack up quick.
