Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
"We are committed to publishing this" is, I am afraid, publisher speak for "we have no idea when we will get around to this, but our aspiration is that it will be before the sun runs out of hydrogen." Having seen the 2013 schedule I would expect this will not even be looked at ag...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

Re: Concerns ...
Which is me in a nutshell as I don't want to plug in a tactical system (I largely play VBAM by email so tactical resolution is rarely a practical proposition for my group).

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
If it's true that the F&E-ification of FA has been largely abandoned, then I pronounce myself officially much more interested in the project once again. :D After all, SVC didn't insist that Mongoose's Star Fleet Call to Arms adhered to every rule, tiny piece of errata and off-hand comment ever m...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
The last I saw on an SVC update was "end of 2013". Mind you, it has been forecast as "end of current year + 1" for three years now, so I wouldn't read anything definite into that. As SVC seems intent on turning Jay's work into "F&E Powered by VBAM" my interest level...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
Seconded. That would truly rock (even without Tholians)

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
I won't call it dead, but it's not very alive. Regardless of whether FA ever sees the light of day, the Local Campaign, which was the big feature of the rules will get reworked and likely see release as an expansion for 2E. Jay and I have also talked a little bit about adapting the Local Campaign i...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
That is music to my ears! VBAM 2 would be a wonderful panacea to the FA blues.

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
Gosh, I hadn't even thought of that. If SVC (PE) is busily turning it into a product neither F&E nor VBAM players actually want, is it worth investing any further intellectual capital in it at all? I mean, sure, there will be some curiosity buys from VBAM players (and I'll surely be one of those...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
I'm very intrigued by the idea of a "director's cut" so that we can see Jay's original vision for what an exciting FC campaign system looks like.

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
I think everyone here appreciates and respects both your and Jay's professionalism, which is in stark contrast to SVC's spoilt child public antics. There is obviously some odd thinking going on somewhere over at ADB because Bruce Graw's Star Fleet Warlord (in my view an order of magnitude more super...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
I didn't think ADB had a license with Paramount but had one with Franz Joseph via the Technical Manual. I don't know though, just my no doubt ill-informed impression. :-) I think the thing is the original brief was "do a campaign system for FC using the VBAM engine" and at the last minute ...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update
I'm behind you all the way.
Let's just hope that itself doesn't into weeks of "this couldn't happen in F&E so I'm re-writing it" agony.
