VBAM Games Forums

To start, I am still fairly certain that I will keep playing VBAM 1stEd, simply because of VBAMSX. It allows me to really visualise how a particular VBAM ship looks like when I know, for example, it has four missile launchers, four heavy anti-ship turrets and some light guns, whereas I wouldn't know...

Yeah, that's what I thought too, mainly based on the fact each Int mount covers 180 degrees and so all points are covered by three separate mounts

Regarding Discord: I'm going to be honest--a few years ago I was feeling depressed, and while I'm better now, I'm not 'okay', and I'm fairly certain it was my daily internet usage that was causing it (certainly the first few months after purposefully making it harder for me to be online made me feel...

Was checking my files for versions of the SXCA that had Interceptors and, after finally finding them in (I think) the SXCAs for the Solar Union designs, noticed a minor problem. For INT Mk0 and Mk1 their DRat modifiers are (according to the relevant cells) =-2/6 and =-2/3 which, if I'm right, actual...

Thanks Tyrel!

I've always loved your endlessly creative Starmada setting documents - you are really reliable at getting a new one up for people to enjoy every few months, at that! Thanks for that. At times I feel a bit down and wonder whether its any point doing them, especially when I've got a creative block, s...

Sorry for the double post, but I've been meaning to ask you--did you have set-in-stone rules for converting B5W ships to VBAM:SX ships, or was it more a set of guidelines? I've been reading your old campaign diaries and for a while I was tempted to run a crossover campaign with a B5, ST or other B5W...

I did something similar in the first of my 2020 campaigns, but only for a year--the active powers were in the middle of colony-creation and fleet expansion for those colony's defences and I didn't want to get distracted by system raids or political shifts. In retrospect with the second campaign, giv...

Okay, what is Discord? I only joined Twitter in the last six months so you can't say I'm up to date with things...

Thanks. I did some 1stEd campaigning and, in the process, been altering the SXCA to fit my figures. Just planning on doing another one now (the last one died when a war's outcome saw the creation of six splinter factions)

So, a few weeks ago I was planning on using VBAM 1E as a scenario generator for a series of SUE battles. Cut to now, I'm in year 4 of a VBAMSX exploration campaign. I started out with two races I've previously released in supplements--the Jestranki Defence League and the Vrushan Dominion from one of...

Hi all. I was looking for the VBAM FB page to ask this, but I couldn't find it. One thing that's been stopping me from doing any 2E VBAM is the lack of NPEs (that, and my heavy-duty working on SAE/SUE supplements). Now, however, after some plans on using 1E as a scenario generator for SUE games, I'v...

In the middle of creating my two VBAM:SAE supplements (which aren't finished properly but eh) I created a couple of things. One is a simple random name generator (which I created mainly from boredom). The second is an Admiralty-Level System Generator. Its rough-and-ready, but it might be of use for ...

Sorry I haven't replied sooner (other issues have taken up my time). I had toyed with such an idea, but for me, unfortunately, when I was considering the design of the map I was thinking primarily visually--how to depict the depth of Deep Space--so I got too involved in that. The idea of having a mu...

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, but I've been busy doing other things (notably doing a FT:PC supplement and re-releasing my old SAE supplements) so I haven't checked in here for a while... So, with the post above regarding 2E, would it be fair to say that the supplementary documents aren't goi...
