Re: Where are all the pics of painted minis? SF
Love the alternate color scheme on your saucers! Give them some additional visual interest without straying too far from the "offical" version. That's just what I was aiming for, something along the lines of Star Fleet modifying their appearance over the course of the war. I have some painted stark...

Klingon DN varients
Took on a C9 a D5WD and two D6 with two CA+ and four FFB yesterday.
Excellent fight, very close battle.
One comment about the C9 was that its shield score seems a little high.

Re: Federation Transfer/Decals Sheet
I picked up some "K" (Klingon) series decals from Starfighter-Decals. They are excellent! By far and away superior to all others I have tried.
Inexpensive as well.
They add a nice touch to the Klingon machines.

Re: [Star Fleet] MGP Federation Ship Cards
My group plays the advanced bridge (being a trait) always maintains the crew quality at 4 unless your crew quality is higher. Essentially it supersedes critical damage from crew hits etc. until the trait is lost.
To play it any other way doesn't make it much of a trait.

Hi. I'm interested in the system. Don't have any ships yet...want to try the game first. I live in Markham but can come down to T.O. for a game. Let me know. Waiting for the other fella, Allerka, to decide if he wants to sell his already pre-painted minis. Thanks. Victor Hi Victor, The next time we...

Hello, I'm in Toronto and play regularly with a single opponent. I have a fleet of federation ships and klingon ships all painted up. Gorns are enRoute. My buddy has a Kzinti fleet on the way as well as a Fed, Gorn and Klingon fleet ready to go. I'm interested in new opponents. Drop me a line if int...

Re: Musings on plasma
Finlos,
Well, the theory is pretty simple and the fix is dead simple. Personally if you were ignored it was probably because of the elegance of your fix!
Congrats!

Re: Musings on plasma
I think that an excellent option would be to change nothing about plasma except to reduce the chances of hitting with defensive phaser fire. Consider removing the acc mod from all phaser fire against plasma. This reduces the effectiveness of the phasers and still keeps the game quick. A 50/50 chance...

Re: Musings on plasma
To my way of thinking escort vessels are designed to defend (escort) carrier groups.
As a big gun proponent the lack of heavy, direct fire weapons should offset the advantages of defensive fire power.
I'll be trying them out in any event and look forward to seeing what they are capable of.

Re: Worst ship?
Myrm, Thank you for your input. I'm not looking for an argument. Just presenting my opinion of the worst ship out there as it stands in the rule book. I don't feel there should be a penalty to the WE. Its fire power is fine as is. An example i would site is the Romulan KE. One "R", two "F" torps, sa...

Re: Worst ship?
Myrm, I couldn't be more in disagreement with you. In SFB for example, the war eagle, flat out, uncloaked, no power to weapons could make 2/3 the speed of any other warship in the game following the same actions. Conversely, it was an extremely capable cloaking opponent. Underpowered is a misnomer i...

Re: Worst ship?
Undoubtedly the Romulan War Eagle.
It is over priced (130 would be a better cost) and suffers the underpowered trait.
The only ship in the game with the underpowered trait I might add.
An easy fix that we follow in my campaign is to replace the underpowered trait with the slow trait.
Cheers,
Gorgo
