If Defiance doesn't, take a look at Ares. 
What the three posters above me in this thread said !!!! 
It's in the Files section of the mj12games Yahoo group.
I can't read it cause I can't buy it. I'm so broke I'm lowering everyones credit rating.
But I get paid on the 26th and might get a bonus check on the 21st.
So I'll buy it then.
Although I'm tempted to rob my savings account. :evil:
No spinal mounts !!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!! :shock: :evil:
How about 6 weapon "slots" then ?? Pretty please ???????
Thanks
The hasbro toy shop www.hasbrotoyshop.com has this toy on sale for US$14.99 each, that's US$20.00 off the normal price.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.
Actually, they went out of business due to everything they made being based on B5 and losing the license. They had just started "branching out" when the rug was pulled out from under their feet.
IIRC the license was lost for the same reason that Star Trek games don't stay in production very long. The parent company wants way more money than most game companies can afford.
Those are neat.
cones only go to 15". but that template is huge.
a 45 degree arc that extends out from the "point" for 15"/roughly 381mm.
just be aware that there is currently no way to have the exo-suits (cougars and grizzlys) move as fast as they do in SST and still be OMG !!!! tough.
But hopefully Demian will see this and figure something official out. :twisted:
Did you mean his ships were a total of tech 8 (+2 in each) or were they +8 in each category ???
[size=150] his ships were tech 8 ????[/size]
that's what they ended up doing.
I didn't know that there comp uter stuff, so i couldn't tell them that. :cry:
cause me am mostly comp uter illiterate......mostly.
but that might just be why they didn't charge me for printing it again.
cause they should have known that.
The new version still prints the page numbers next to the binding !!
Luckily, the Kinko's that I got it printed at was willing to "fix" it without charging me extra. There needs to be a blank page inserted into the PDF after the color cover. Then another blank page in front of the back cover.
And is it normal for these kinds of PDF's to be "locked" ? They had to get creative on printing it the second time to get it to work because they couldn't just insert blank pages. :?
it's also useful to do if one is converting BFG and wants to keep the "scale" correct. and if one wants to be playing against something from another "universe", not just gothic ships. like B5 ships versus gothic ships.
cruisers average 5 km in length and escorts average 1 km in length.
good to know !! I have some B5 EA and minbari ships that were designed without using special rules, just the book ones.
think anybody would be interested in those ??
is it possible (and rules legal) to purchase IF for non-AoE attacks ? i want to write up Tau and their Smart Missile system is non-AoE but indirect, also FR 4.
thanks

Once an updated PDF is finished, the revision will be sent for free to all those who purchased it via RPGNow. For obvious reasons, revised hard copies cannot be provided for free...
okay, i don't mean to sound whiny :roll: ,but i probably will
i just checked the rpgnow site, it lists defiance as 35.4 mb. the dl i have is 33,884 kb. should i email rpgnow, cause my email addy hasn't changed in years ?? how will the update work ??
thanks.
Thanks for the response.
Are there any sample ships that I can use for trying out the game with the sample rules?
Also, how does this compare to Lightning Strike. I am quite fond of the game and EW rules. Can you compare how electronic warfare works in this system.
there's a bunch of sample/converted ships on the yahoo group page (several B5 Wars fleets, some star trek, some battlefleet gothic and i think some star wars as well).
the construction system has a free program on the starmada page called SXCA.XLT that's so easy even i can figure it out.
the pink box under combat rating tells you how much space is left..if it's inside these () it's a negative number and you have too much stuff on the ship.
it also prints out a record sheet for the ship
i've seen it twice and thought it rocked
here's a linky to the trailer(s)

Mixing qualities is essentially impossible in terms of the morale rules. On option would be to, in a limited fashion, allow players to put two units on the same initiative card on a game-by-game basis, perhaps up to once per 1000 PV? This would be advantageous in terms of increased firepower/flexibility upon activation of the combined unit, but limits the ability to use each at different times...thoughts?
true
and this would be cool too.
oh, and Demian, i don't know about an across the board adjustment.
maybe make rules for this and add them to the "genres" section ??
but i like the idea of having costs for 0% and 100% for ad-hoc, elites, vehicles, etc.
and i like the idea of having an extra level or two for HTH rating. because it would still have limits (unlike the techno-fantasy genre), and something would have to be weakened to get it. IMO this would make simulating the armies from Warzone easier.
oooohh, just got an idea. !!!
the rules allow trading infantry/weapon frames for extra vehicle frames, how about allowing the reverse as well ?
