I have a cosmetic suggestion and it looks like you have room for it. Could you put 1-3-5 next to Hull, 1-2 next to Engines, 3-4 next to Shields, and 5-6 next to Weapons? Little pictures of dice would be cooler, but even a smaller font would be nice. It might take away from the simplicity of the form though, so this just a really light suggestion.
Love the version number field, btw.
I don't get the "Lightspeed" reference. :?:
However, to answer your questions:
Sequential activation = yes, as an option.
Sequential weapon firing = not sure what you mean. Weapons fire has always been sequential, with damage taking effect at the end of the Combat Phase. Are you wanting damage to take effect sequentially? If so, it's an easy thing to add...
Sorry, Light Speed with a space. (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/5534) Not the best analogy anyway.
Basically, yeah. Having damage take effect as you shoot and having shoot order sequential like movement.
Overjoyed that sequential movement will be an option since that was the big stumbling block for us. Sequential firing was more a brainstorming idea. We pictured it with using Directional Shielding (p41) applied the first time in the round you get shot at and then lasting the rest of the round.
Weapons firing at the speed of light would have milliseconds determine if a shot gets off, and the reactionary Directional Shielding seemed cool for getting behind enemy ships. And interlacing decisions is always good for keeping all sides in a wargame focused and interested (but that's just amateur game theory talking).
This is awesome news. I've been trying for months to wheedle my regular game group in to this. I even posted a LFG sign in Brookhurst Hobbies for this game.
But at the risk of being the first person with a suggestion that isn't actually in the game, these are the things my friends hope are in the Big List of Options:
Sequential activation (BattleTech style)?
Sequential weapon firing (Lightspeed style)?
Just wondering. I'll buy this the moment it comes out, and start my recruitment quest anew!
PS DMG + .6 there, not *
First off, I can't convey how thrilled I am that this forum is active. I followed the link from BGG on a lark.
Anyway, I live in Santa Ana, CA (corner of 5 and 55) and I can't get either of my game groups to even try Starmada. So I am looking for a group nearby. My first choice would be a VBAM campaign (MOO2 being the best game of all time). Second choice would be Starmada with the vector rules. Third choice would be anything that just lets me roll my ion blasters against your shields.
Since applying to a game group is as serious as a job interview, the best resume I can offer is my BGG profile: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Dorque.
I am clean, housebroken, and don't eat Cheetos at the table. I am interested in having fun rather than winning, although I will most likely try to make very munchkin ships because I love this rules system. So a pre-packaged ship list package would be welcomed.
Just stumbled on this thread right after I was thinking this exact thing. So, is the "move the +1 from P to P and D" an official ruling? That change is not in the spreadsheet you can get from the front page of Majestic 12's Starmada section.
