I don't know if anyone remembers,,,,,,,back in June I accidently left my fleet box in the vendors room at PhoenixCon. I just now got them back from the people that run the Con (or used to run it. They have decided not to do it any more---read whatever bitterness you want into that). Anyway, I...

I had a great time at Phoenixcon and really enjoyed the B-5 game I played. I still think of myself as a noob so be tolerant if I say obvious things. So far, the only time I've been able to play B-5 is at the con. We did a 2 point war, EA vs League(me). 1 Warlock and 2 Marathon against a...

I should mention that 3 of those patrol points I technicaly can't use. 2 EA Tethys and 4 Centauri Haven. I bought them a very long time ago to use as system monitors for BFG and so I already had them when I started collecting for B-5. I don't think it will matter much in a friendly game. They...

:oops: :shock: Looks like my fleet is larger than I thought. By level I have 1 war, 1 battle, 1 raid, 3 skirmish, and 7 patrol. But no carriers or fighters, which is why I joined this thred, to get advice on that.

Useful information, thank you very much. My League fleet is slowly growing. I'm unsure if I need fighters since I have 5 Vree ships already. If I'm understanding the point system correctly, I need 1 more skirmish point or 2 more patrol points to bring my entire fleet up to 3 whole war points...

Hmmm,,,,as a League player I can take those without a carrier. Speaking of which, the Xeel doesn't seem to be a very powerful ship. No beam weapon like other carriers, no carrier trait, hull 4, only 1 weapon (but I'll admit, its a good one). Why would it be broken when used with a flight of...

I'm also a new player. What do you guys think of the Vree Tzymm and Zorth fighters?

Simple answer,,,limited pocket money and I was able to get it cheap! :lol: That also explains why my 3 larger ships are a Tashkat, a Lakara and a Xill.

Tiraca frigate,, beam weapon and shields on a patrol level ship. What's not to like? Lakara cruiser,,,shields, an interceptor, 6AD beams at 15, hull 6,,,,,OK, it's only speed 6. Am I missing something? This one is very likeable too. I've got both in my League fleet.

I'm not sure where they would fit in, but I certantly like the looks of them.

Warning noted. That's one reason why my fleet is such a mixed bag. I'll let the non-Vree deal with Apollos. (sigh) I really need to get back up there for some real games. I freely admint I lack experience on what is good/bad against what.

Well, re-enforcements are on the way and I should have them painted and ready for the convention. On the was is a Vree Vaarl scout, a Vree Xorr war saucer, 2 Vree Xaar patrol boats, a Brakiri Ikorta, and 2 Abbi Tiraca frigates. I learned a lot while watching the campaign games on Saturday...

And lets not foget the ever present E-BAY. Warning about ebay shopping. Check the shipping costs closely. You might get a 10.00 mini for 7.99 but discover the shipping is another 7.00.

Good to hear! If you're doing all the demos, I won't worry so much about making the Friday session. Oh wow! Look! This thread is back on topic!
