In the process of generating the NPE, I had a few inspirations of things to do, some in VBAM, some in SNE. One of them, a non-exploration, Commodore-level campaign with the race I started generating and a human power, is what I'm going to do (as soon as I actually start working on it...)

Oh dear, I've increased Tyrel's workload...

Well, if you're talking about some of the Holoki designs, the largest one was a SX Hull 40 (well, the Holoki in 'A Three-Edged Sword' had SNE Hull 75 ships, so I actually reduced the size of their largest vessel...) so that CR of 26 is the maximum value possible (except if you added a Command Centre...

Hi all. Know this is a bit random, but as I've been re-acquainting myself with VBAM I've been looking for various settings that were done first in B5W and then were converted to VBAM. Does anyone know if the Bintari-K'Thonn Saga or Nexus Universe ships were converted to VBAM?

Here's the final diary. Seeing as it was a warm-up, it lasted longer than some of my standard campaigns...

So, that seems like I'll be wanting the Campaign Guide, First Contact and A Distant Star. With a Purpose sounds potentially interesting, but as my main (okay, sole) campaigns will be solo, A Distant Star will be my main buy along with the campaign guide, and First Contact will be useful for when/if ...

Hmmm... Maybe an initial roll on the relationship roll for a large power towards a smaller power. If its bad enough for a declaration of hostilities, then carry out the activation as normal. If not, then they sign up to NAP/TT and I can leave them alone for a while. It would save on relationship rol...

Well...they did. In 3002.03/4. Sad to say but this campaign is finished, mainly due to one of my old problems--DBNA (Death By NPE Activation). However, seeing as this was meant to be a warm-up campaign to get me back in the mindset, it's not gone too bad (apart from the base's cost mix-up and other ...

And finally the diary has been updated. It's not current (the date is now 3001.11) but I hope to update it over the next couple of days (after the current events have concluded).

After going through all the bases, there's only three bases which are affected (Shieldwall, Edington and Torhanu-Zekla). I can't retro-actively fix the issue, but I'm going to do a bit of fluff to address the issue. Luckily there's been no Defensive scenarios...

:oops: I was looking at some of my files and realised I've made a major error, which I can only put down to my having not played VBAM:SX for two-three years and getting too familiar with designing ships for SNE--I added the 50% SUs for stations, but not the x1.8 modifier. So that means the NAL and T...

A new VBAM:SX campaign.

EDIT: Read below for reason for deletion of diary.

Shows what happens if you stop popping in every day...

I'd love to join up, but I'm not sure of how much involvement I'm capable of, and I haven't seen any updates on playtest material for ages...

Will try and read the files tomorrow, as I should have some time to myself (hah)

Haven't had the time to do much more than do a cursory glance at the files, and my time has been burnt up by doing S:AE supplements...
