You want cramped? They had an M-5 Stuart on display, also. You couldn't get in it, but they did have a platform setup so you look down through the hatches. According to my friend, who's in the Guard, even M-1s aren't much roomier. I don't think I would have made it as a tanker - way too cramped in t...

A friend of ours works for Boeing here in St. Louis (used to McDonnell-Douglas) and they had their Family Day today so we tagged along since her family was out of town. While there we saw several banners in the production facility (way cool!!!!) about the E/A-18G Growler , scheduled to be operationa...

With Supply , I have taken to splitting it into Collier (resupply), Cargo (cargo movement), and Field Repair (field repair). <smacks head> D'oh! I hadn't even considered that possibility! I'm going to have to tweak my Voidstriker conversions and my take on Endurance (the proper name, thank you very...

My first impression is that this is one those ideas that is really cool, but really only practical in a setting where there are few ships. Where it could be most useful is in games where you are linking in with a tactical system to resolve some of the battles. The increased granularity would make it...

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the Star Law trait that you had added. I really like that one - it'll give Will something to do with all of those police units in SFB for his conversion. :wink:

It's all but official. Tyrel redesigned the base logo for the MAS cover, and that started a conversation about needing a more "neutral" logo not tied to one particular product since we're starting to diversify a bit.

This stems mostly from Voidstriker having distinct enough systems that some allow exploration while others provide battlefield advantage and therefore fall under the Scout rules. I have also start...
