By this example the ULF is the base, not the MF, with each size above it getting a +1 CP. You would look up the ULF's base CP on the Flight/Minefield Table, which is 3, then apply the tech bonus from its In-Service Date. If you're at Year 3000 then you're at the base Tech Year and there isn't a tech...

This still leaves a question in my mind for ULF. If the base calculation for flights/minefields is (ISD-3000)/24*2 and for ULF we subtract two(2), then the result at ISD=3000 is: (3000-3000)/24*2 -2 or 0/24*2 -2 = -2 So my base design at the beginning of a campaign is 3-2 or only 1 CP? Take ISD 3006...

5.4.3.3 Tech Bonus The second paragraph reads: "The tech bonus for flights and minefields is handled similarly. Subtract 3000 from the unit's ISD, divide by 24, and then multiply by 2. Round fractions to the nearest whole number.<snip> From a practical standpoint what this meansis that the medi...

Just picked up the rules this week and am reading through them. All the typos and errors that I have spotted so far have been mentioned in this thread. Great job! I'm very happy to have 2e in my (digital) hands. I'll continue searching for typos and errors. Looking forward to the community putting u...

Bump. Any new news or expectations?

I'll start saving my coin.

Any news?

3 months shy of two years later...are we going to see 2E released? I've about given up.

Nice, Hurry and finish so we can see it.

First quarter 2011 is almost over.......any new news on the VBAM 2.0 front?

To keep the decapitation-raid things in check, introduce restrictions on distance traveled. Ala Traveller refueling after each jump or 2300AD's discharge rules and a hard travel distance. Maybe tech could expand the range?

I am curious as well. Anything new on the 2E front? I'm desperate to see anything from any space related 4X game at this point.

And that is not a tease how? I'm jonesing for more 2nd Edition stuff. My wife has promised me I will be able to spend money on buying 2nd Edition when it comes out so...HURRY please.

I have a spreadsheet template that implements all of our construction rules if you are interested. It has size implemented for Ships (bases are just ships that don't move), fighters and ground units...all based off of TL as well. Our TLs went to 30 and kinda matched what was presented in CMC in that...

This looks similar to what my friends and I had implemented in a local campaign. We used size to determine the number of SU (space units) available for a given hull. Very similar (read: exactly) as in starmada. We then used those SU to buy the various numbers for a VBAM CSCR design as in the Wall of...
