Re: Thread deleted?????

no, I mean that was my last post on that topic.... I am still interested in the game, I just realize that I am repetitively beating the drum about more communication, and it is probably irritating to you guys and not really helping anything. I am totally interested in doing whatever I can to help ou...

Re: Thread deleted?????

You are right, I was perhaps a bit over zealous in my comment. I should have phrased it more carefully. I am just surprised that you don't seem to find time to post anything here on occasion. I mean, how about just a review of changes from 1E? how about a playtest report? how about a discussion on w...

Re: Thread deleted?????

hahaha, well I hadn't thought of that. I sort of hope they would have noticed that I am an at least infrequent contributor... it just rankled that they are absent for months except to delete my thread which I only posted to try and keep some vague life-signs on this board. But maybe you are right......

Thread deleted?????

So what the happened, my last thread gets deleted although I only asked about your house settings and plans for 2E.... you know, it might be advantageous to have a stronger presence on this board to avoid such misunderstandings.....

Re: Second Edition is Coming June 2014

I guess I will be saving also, but honestly, I am not feeling very positively disposed toward this company right now. It isn't the delay per se, although it has been several years for this product so it is probably a bit of the delay as well, but mostly it is the lack of good communication. I unders...

possible tac system partners

You had mentioned looking for other tactical systems to work with. I would also add that the guy that does Sky full of Ships is just about to release 2.0 version. It would seem to be a very easy fit and the timing might be nice.

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

That is an interesting point. You were talking about teaming up with a tactical system, now that for some reason it doesn't seem to be going with Starmada :( But Burnside's system, at least Squadron Strike, seems quite flexible. He is working up a homebrew setting, but there might be some scope for ...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

I love that he says "finally fought our way to Chapter 4"... so all these YEARS of BS from him and he hadn't even made it to chapter 4 to see what he was complaining about :roll:
Congrats, hopefully this comes out ok, I think it can be big.

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

Nova is good. Sometimes I feel like starmada has a bit of an identity crisis, the game play feels sort of squardron level especially with Nova somewhat abstracting weapon systems into one bucket-o-dice, it has very fast gameplay with ships getting waxed in just a couple turns, etc.... but the design...

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

Oh God Jay, don't even bother. Steve Cole is egotistical beyond comprehension and probably is diagnosable with a personality disorder of some sort (my guess would be Aspergers....). His company website has, in FAQ, a explaination about him being mean to people! He was very smart and made a company b...

Re: How is the playtest going?

That was very nice to hear! See, just posting something like that every 2 weeks or a month would be very nice. I don't think it was excessively time-consuming, and it makes a very very very big difference to see that there are some signs of life. It could be worse than me harrassing you for info.......

Re: How is the playtest going?

So then what? Is this project dead, or are you going to roll with no public playtest, or are you going to start a new one or ????? Of course I totally understand that you are under no obligation to tell us anything, but I don't really understand the lack of communication here. There was a playtest, ...

Re: How is the playtest going?

I just saw in the General thread that you are working through the playtest(s) at a fevered pitch, that is great to hear! I am hopeful for this project. Can you give an outline of where the tests are, any issues that might have come up, surprises, that sort of thing?
