Just had a pirate check scared away from a colony fleet because there were two nearly weaponless scouts in the system. Not that I bear the player any ill feelings, but that defenseless colony fleet full of people had it coming after flying across three systems. Alone. VBAM: Cost:10 Maint:4/2 DV:4 AS...

CMC:3.8 it is! Thank you muchly. That totally clears everything up.

Is the chain-of-transports method of delivering 10EP from Homeworld to colony only for constructing ships at a remote shipyard? Do you not have to do that for Production points? I think having to send money to the far colonies is awesome, but I just read the line in 3.7.4 about transport chains not ...

Then in my universe I will have decimal time. I am teh emper-ar. I just wanted to reply with what happens when your homeworld actually does get hit by pirates. You lose your shipyard and all in progress ships. You don't produce your 60EP next turn. You make a -3 morale check, and every other colony ...

First off, I blew two more undefended planet pirate rolls again. Sigh. Not that I'm vindictive or anything that all four players are at peace. Anywho, that is very interesting to hear about the maintenance. We are indeed using a tactical game for the fights, so I could look at what a good-sized figh...

Howdy. First 4-player VBAM game halfway through its first year with me as CM, and I'm hoping for some opinions on what I'm seeing. Both in the sense of how they will play out here in 1E, and how they are being implemented in 2E. I know half a year is too short a time to see anything well, I'm just e...

You're a Zoq-Fot-Pik! Totally just occurred to me. Thought you looked familiar. Um... this isn't a real reply to the conversation. Please carry on.

Best game ev-ar.

I'm CMing a game, and it seems like race powers aren't something that should just be revealed upon hitting normal relations. Some are even cooler if not revealed. You don't know if your treaty request was rejected because they don't like you or because their race power forced them to. And should Soc...

I'm sorry, did that say 105 systems? Am I doing something wrong that my six player map has 34? Edit-----------------------(Didn't want to clutter thread with reply) Thanks for the 10 system tip. Fortunately, two people flaked out. I have four dedicated people now, and I don't mind if the first campa...

Howdy! I failed remarkably at getting people to commit to a campaign from wargame events and game store ads. Should have started here and at Starmada's forums. I am trying to start up a CM'd VBAM:Starmada game with as many AE elements as I can patch in. Turns would be PBeM on my site below, and Star...
