I did some test battles, works like a charm. It will be very handy in my campaign. Thanks! Good.. Anything it doe...

That is pretty spiffy. Would make raider battles quicker once you got the forces set up in the format. I am not getting the side values. Why does one have it as 2,2,2 and the other 0,2,3. Thanks for checking it out.. I was simulating a defensive battle (CONFED attacking KITTY) so CONFED is +2 to re...

I am about to attempt this task..
It will not be in excel though (I am not excel guy)
It will be several months probably though..

I also like the idea of units getting a random chance to upgrade. A XP cost adjustment based on ship size would help too. The way it stands now only large ships tend to get XP spent on them, but it's often the small ships that are earning the XP! Besides, in naval warfare, small ships will often de...

oh so a single officer who has taken the same ability 3 times would be -30 % ?

How do you stack when restricted ?

consider a world with a production of 2, Census of 2 and RAW of 4, that is cut off from the rest of the empire.. Any ground units on the planet are OOS and will eventually starve, but the player could create a cycling effect where he builds new ground units and disbands the old ones just before the ...

In general, Pulp gaming is skirmish-level minis, usually set in the 20s or 30s with lots of high adventure and a liberal dose of bizarre machines and superscience. Indiana Jones type stuff with mad scientists and the occassional tesla gun. ;) I've been playing Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb. Y...

12) go to war against Tyrel and defend your ally's home world better than your own.. (Sean's B5 game) That was shear luck, and you wouldn't have lost Sol if we were using the normal movement rules. Your big fleet would have met my big fleet (instead of passing each other in the night) and you would...

What about short ranged weapons fire last.. change the combat sequence.. ships with Long Range fire and resolve Ships with out Long or Short fire and resolve ships with Short Range fire and resolve Very cool, I think I will test this a bit, but I think this would make a great addition to the game. ...

Another ability I have been trying to replicate, based on the Arachnid ships from In Death Ground , is the short range plasma weapons. A good concise name for the trait escapes me, though Short Ranged or Point Blank are contenders. With this trait, the ship would receive an AS bonus so long as it i...

Keeping in mind that you'll almost never see a shipyard with more than 6 design slots (1/2 of utilitized productivity at that location) I think that the idea of sacrificing design slots to improve build time for another could work. Yikes.. miss read the utility production as production capacity (ho...

I am currently grinding through The Shiva Option , but still have 300 pages to go (oi!). Getting back on topic, another new trait I have been playing around with is Weak Hulled (there has to be a better name for this one). Units with this trait do not cripple; they are simply destroyed when they ta...
