Hmm...

I can see the weakened weapons option work--maybe a x0.7 space unit modifier? Weakened hull could give you an extra 10% SUs (so a non-hyper unit with weak hull gets 20%) and weakened shields incurs a 0.7 modifier as well?

Armoured engines were discussed as a way to allow battleships the opportunity to stay mobile for longer--as only one or two E hits could cause the pride of your fleet to be a sitting duck...:D

Just my 1 cent (its a special offer--half price)

Er, not yet...:D

Reason being I have been toying around with an exploration campaign idea. However, there is a new file detailing the relationships between the powers as well as the AIX values for them as well. I haven't really had much opportunity to work on it for the last week or two...:(

In the main rules, they can't, but if you're talking about house rules, do what you want.

I've started making up my first campaign. Its called Triumvir Squared. As you know, a Triumvir consists of 3 people. So Triumvir Squared is 3x3, or nine big_smile

Look in the Starmada X folder of Starmada Campaign and thats where you'll find the map and information.

Here's a tidbit, however...

The nine nations that make up the TS-verse are at a crossroads. They have expanded as far as they could, but the nations on the rim found out a terrible fact…

They were not alone…

There was an ancient race surrounding them. Attempts to break through this ring of fire have been unsuccessful, and they have been told that they may not leave until they say so…

The nine nations stand at a crossroads. Do they ally together and research new technologies that might help them breach the blockade? Do they expand, killing all in their path, and then turn towards the ancient race?

No one knows…

How does this sound?

Sorry I forgot about this...

I'll be doing the Grome tonight (with any luck), and then move onto the Gaim. Wouldn't mind taking on the Drazi or Brakiri after that...:D

I've created a list of systems I hope that the humans and their allies will hold. It will be on the mj12 Yahoo! group as I can't attach the file here (MS Word)

I was trying to play around with various campaign ideas, and then I thought of an SD I tried to run a couple of months back. Its great. It'll need some work to do it, but I think it'll work...

Essentially, the campaign would start fifty years after a relatively bad first contact situation. The humans, represented by the Terran Imperial Commonwealth, and their allies met a race known as the Salroncans. For no other reason that they believe they are the ultimate being and that all other races should either be killed or enslaved. They are not very friendy. They have conquered and enslaved four races already, and if humanity is not careful, they will be the fifth...

There is good and bad news, however. The good news is that humanity is more advanced (TL+2 overall, compared to the Salroncans TL+1). The allies also have a comparable TL. The bad news is that they occupy almost double the number of systems the TIC and their allies occupy...

Im planning on using the sample map on the VBAM website. I am also planning on using the hyperspace rules for travel...

Anyone interested?

Or change the damage location chart so that H rolls are received on a 1 and 4? Would serve the same purpose...

What about spinal mounts? Could you mount six spinal mounts, one in each arc (like the Hyach starbase station in B5W?)

Sorry for the late replies, but my computer  died later on after making my post and I just got it back from the shop. Don't worry, no file loss.

Don't worry Dan, after the first moment I looked at Starmada I fell in love and never looked back. Just a poor attempt at sarcasm. I'll keep going strong.

The Cascor are an AoG League race of fighter loving racoons that participated in the Dilgar war.

Hey John, I feel really bad about not answering your e-mails, I really do, but my new second job requires that I get permission before I can make personal international correspondance. No offence I hope. I am trying to check up on that. In the mean time, use PDS and carronades for Flak Cannons. Just be sure to label it Impeder PDS.

Jerry

Nah, its fine. I was just worried that I might have offended you in some way...:D

Do you have any takers on the Gaim or Yolu? I'd love to do one of those as well--I've got some free time now...

Yeah, and they've screwed up my order. I now have two copies of the Starmada Edition, and no copy of the book I need to use those two. I can't afford another £20  :evil:

Thanks for the mention Jerry.

Just got to get my head down on working out the Hurr/Grome. I don't know whether PDS/AFB or PDS/Carronade is better for representing flak cannons, however...

And, talking of the BoP setting...

Can you send me any updates Jerry? I remembered your post about changing some things, but I don't know what exactly you changed... :?
