So when is the updated book that was going to be ready two months ago coming out? Unfortunately I've lost most interest in the game due to its many "bugs". I was looking forwards to an update, but ...... it's been too long coming. Frank V.

Good write up, well thought out. I've face the Wolverine in a couple of games and I think its my most disliked Federation ship. I play Romulans mostly. Frank V.

600 points Fed vs Romulans, Romulan victory 100 points Fed vs Romulans, Tie 1000 point Klingon vs Gorn, Klingon overwhelming victory (and we even gave all Gorn ships armour)

This might be too late but I'm running a demo at Orccon in Los Angeles, CA on Feb19th, 1900hrs. Frank V.

I don't thinks drones are broken/overpowered as they are. Its a couple of ships that are, the Kzinti Frigate and the Fed Ortega War Destroyer (Drone version). they are very cheap and can saturate the enemy with drones with impunity. Oh you say, they are small one photo salvo will take care of...

You can not re-designate the weapon, you just keep piling on damage. If you look at page 8 of the book at the Damage Table you will see that you can make the ship explode with enough damage past 0. Frank V.

A friend and I are putting on a demo game at the upcoming Orccon convention in Los Angeles on the 19th of February. Frank V.

Who says I'm shooting at the ship with the reinforce shields? I'm shooting at one of the ships that made the IDF, thus reducing your IDF even more.

You guys do understand that the Kzinti/Ortega destroyer can still move, do special actions, use their own phasers, which are not inconsiderable, to defend against the Romulan's plasma right? They are also faster and more maneuverable. Get cornered, by a fleet that moves 6" and can only turn...

Does your ship decloak if its crippled? If it does, can it fire that turn? Frank V.

Actually I found a worse fleet, 9 Ortega class Destroyers, Drone version, 990 points 36 drones, good shields that can be reinforced well and good phaser coverage. 5 Gorn ships, not sure how ~24 phaser 1 + a couple of 3 are going to stop 36 drones every turn when concentrated against one ship...

So.... who's taking the Kzinti firing squad to the upcoming tournament? 7 Frigates (7 x 120) 1 Light Cruiser (150) or 1 Medium Cruiser (160) 990 or 1000 points 32 drones a turn, tell me what fleet can take that many drones a turn and not loose a ship or two. Frank V.

What about giving all their ships the armored trait? that would negate some of the damage they take without overpowering them. Frank V.

No changes to the craptastic fighters? C'mon, at least get rid of their week trait, or make them faster, so they can actually keep up with the ships. Frank V.

I too think squadrons are too powerful. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix them. They really have no draw backs. The fact that you loose a couple of cheap initiative sinks isn't enough of a detractor to use them. I think the bigger problem is that multiple lower priority ships can always...
