I liked it, Keep writing .. even if you dont post it. I hope you have in the last almost 1.5 years. And don't be afraid to get into the characters a bit more and the battles. And don't doubt yourself ... As you learn more tricks of the trade .. you will get a better feeling as to what moves your rea...

I had the choice between Space Empires and Eclipse as my X-mas present from the family. I went with Eclipse, even though they could have bought 2 x Space Empires for cost of 1 Eclipse (Space game not Vampire stuff). Final decision was that wife was put off that it was called an old fashioned War Gam...

I had been hoping that 2E would have made a 'End of 2011' release; it would have made a great X-mas present for my gaming buddies and all, but now it seems like 2012 is the TARGET. Is VBAM expecting to release it by end of 1st Quarter, Spring, or possibly later. I haven't had a raise in 3 years (But...

Murtailian Confederacy,

Don't you also have offerings and insights at the MJ12 site. Hopefully that can help you get thru this dry spell at this site, eh ?? Always like going over your posts, good stuff; keep up the good work.

When I first found out about VBAM, I had read that they were gonna do a 2nd edition, so I waited many months and the Forum was just about dead. Then something wonderful happened and the VBAM people showed themselves to the public. And The Public responded ! Many interesting ideas flowed thru the for...

It has been almost 3 weeks since we've had a post in Second Edition. Any last minute things you want to bounce off us as you make your final preparations ??? We are always here to help !

I originally had the Moderate category a little smaller - like where you have it but decided to thicken it because there was only a 5 point jump from the top low value to the bottom High Value. I wanted my lows to feel LOW and my highs to feel HIGH, so I fattened the Moderates. (and unlike the curre...

Yup,

I said the same in my first post (2nd Paragraph), but I found my wife; so hitting apon a number that has a 1 in 2.176 billion chance should be easy.

I also saved my excel sheet, but it has only the last 10K systems I rolled. Statistically, even 100K systems is a small sample, but for all but the ends (both high and low) I think it gets pretty close to what is gonna show up. I was hoping for a 7 or a 42 to show up but the odds were literally '20 ...

Here is the latest on this issue, after I created 100K (100,000) systems to get a better idea of the distribution of System values. Here are the results. Total Value Total Percent Current 2E My Idea New Idea Total Value - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 7 ...

Any chance for having a a single colum of complete stats on the Top of this, like what is found at the bottom of the SysGen for inhabited worlds. Actually, you could put the full stats on either the top or left side; it would allow for quick comparisons. Just put the 2 vessels displays one on top of...

I spent the last 2 nights trying to find the probability values of the 31 possible numbers (12 thru 42) that are the total of Cap, RAW, Orb, Bio, Sci, and Jump. When I got these probabilities, I’d compare them to my suggestion above for modifying the ‘System Importance’ table and see if I needed to ...

Brennall, does it help to keep the tables aligned when I post a small spreadsheet table if the spreadsheet cells are left alligned, or does it make no difference if they are centered in my spreadsheet cells ?

If it turns out that this does need fixing, it will be one of the easiest and quickest fixes Tyrel will have to make.

Brennall, From what I know about dice and bell curves that turn into Mason-jar curves when multiplied, You probably did the stats correct, but go ahead and check, just to be sure. Thanks much for the tip , I just never have ever been a poster before, just a Lurker on the empire building websites for...
