Re: Three Moves Ahead: Lost in Space

I've always kind of liked designing my own units, at least in MOO1 but admittedly haven't played a huge amount of 4X games. That said I'm not sure about the stardrive design method which seems overly involved. If the tactical battles are great then might be worth it. I do think though that the idea ...

Re: 2nd Edition progress?

Should ask the question since, it will be asked, but any estimation of a release-date for the printed version of 2e?

Lots of 4X strategy games out these days but thought this was worth a mention

Re: Three Moves Ahead: Lost in Space

Revisited this site after checking out a few discussions the first time and found that there's a relatively recent podcast on the 4X genre: https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/the-4x-genre Haven't given it a listen to yet (about to now) but as they reference MOO in the description I imagine it t...

Re: Something is Happening...

Super cool
Is the Other Worlds forum supposed to be restricted? I seem to be able to access all forums save that one. That's true both when logged in and when not logged in. Which is ironic because the most recent post in that forum is apparently mine :shock:

Re: So this is dead?

I trust that work on the rules is still progressing, that has been the case in months past and is probably the same still. Unfortunately I believe the work they do on VBAM is in addition to their regular jobs so undoubtedly the rules are sometimes thrust on the backburner in favour of commitments to...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

Actually I did forget one product, the Federation Commander Tactics Manual. A 138 page book that they put out (primary author Patrick Doyle) at some point in 2014. Never saw it in my local gaming store, it only came to light for me back at christmas when I was at home playing with Stad and saw it bo...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

It is interesting to note that in one of the posts in this thread: http://www.starfleetgames.com/federation/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4680&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30 SVC does mention Federation Admiral as being on the to-do list. That being said, the list also includes SFB Module X2 ...

Re: Second Edition is Coming June 2014

I talked with Tyrel via email and said he was still plugging away at it but had a very busy summer with work. Hopefully things continue to fall into place.

Re: Second Edition is Coming June 2014

I've been working full time + overtime on a contract job since mid-May that has stolen nearly all of my available free time. I even got to work full time over the Memorial Day Weekend holiday (oh joy). Contract work? Overtime? Working on holidays? Have you joined me in the exciting field of animati...

Cool. Don't forget to let the people on Star Ranger or TMP know about the impending 2e.

Re: Fan Art

Hmmn, well I could probably do better now.
I mostly just wanted to throw them up as the board was a bit quiet after New Years :) They didn't format very well though, need to shrink them down maybe
