Good news indeed! Thanks Dan!
Working on a scenario!
Will post updates and AARs as I build it up.

Thanks man! I don't have it offhand. I'll need to go back and watch some episodes to get a feel for the ship!
I can't argue that! But I'm going by the Rules and ships from Musashi's "Starblazers" game as a guide.
They try to make the fleets a little more "Playable" and still capture the feel of the show.

Well, that's the easy way, of course.
But it dramatically loses the flavor of the show, and should not be TOO hard to work up stats for.
(Dan. I'm looking at you here.)
I even thought about a system where you had to accumulate power to fire it. For every point of movement power you do not spend in a round, you get a point of energy added to the Accumulator.
After 10 points you can fire a shot.
Just rolling it around in my wee noggin.
It would just be easier to have a Linear-3 Weapon Range: 12 with a Slow-3 attribute.
Plus it would be an excuse to spend more money with MJ12!
That's a bummer!
Just watched the Yamato blow the planet Gamilon straight to H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks!
LOL
I assume "At the enemy" of course.
ALSO, at amazon.com in their Digital Downloads section they have the entire Season 1 of Starblazers for $6.99 USD!!!
Streaming it while working. Gotta admit, Commander Desslok is a class act.
I don't know! They are still selling product. It might be left over stock.
Hey Dan! Have you ever thought of contacting Musashi Enterprises to see if they want to do a Starmada version of Starblazers in the same way ADB did a Starmada version of their game?
Musashi might be able to move more minis.
They are pretty fabulous, especially with all the photo-etched brass parts.
In Honor of the release of the Live Action movie on Dec 10 2010 in Japan, I have dusted off my vast collection of "Star Blazers" Miniatures by Musashi Enterprises!
Currently I have:
EDF Forces
1x Musashi Battleship
2x Standard Battleship
4x Andromeda I
1x Andromeda II
2x Battle Carrier
3x Patrol Cruiser
4x Battlecruiser
6x Destroyer
12x Frigates
Gamilon
1x Desslok Command Ship I
2x S-Type Battleship
3x Battle Carrier
3x Tri-Deck Carrier
12x Destroyer
White Comet Empire
1x Missile Cruiser
1x Twin Deck Carrier
2x Comet Battleship
6x Comet Destroyer
What I need to work out i how to simulate Wave motion Guns with Starmada:AE.
What I really need is "Linear" fire arcs (1 and 3 hex row variants) and the Slow Firing -2 and Slow Firing-3 weapon attributes!
Gosh Dan, Focus on the negative why don't you! <Queue Theatrical eye rolling>
Seriously, though, it's a good companion to KA and I can't wait for the "next thing".
Got my copy last week! Great stuff, as always, Dan!
Plasmas are VERY interesting, particularly the dual use Bolt-Or-Standard Plasma.
Considering the title I Almost feel that the Roms got the shaft. More Feds in the book than anything else, and between the two books, the Feds have an ENORMOUS selection of ships compared to the more anemic fleets of the other empires.
Awesome! Was wondering how you handled it. Ordered from my FLGS last week. Hopefully should see it soon!
underling: Those minis were designed back in the early 80's when they were Really the only ones out there. ADB is still producing them and they really are in dire need of upgrading.
You know, after the Millennium Con KA game i ran last year, I've had TONS of people pinging me about it and buying the game.
I think it hit their "Long Dormant Starfleet Battles" Nerve.
They all say the same thing "I used to love SFB, but I just don't have the time anyomore."
There is a certain amount of childish glee when you start rolling Photon Torpedo attacks and Disruptor volleys.
Can't wait for the Roms!
Hot Damn, Dan!
And I HAVE been playing with Rom Designs (As well as digging out all my FASA Romulan minis as proxies! Using the Glorious "Winged Defender" as my Sparrowhawks and my "Bright Ones' as Skyhawks.)
Do we have an ETA?
I NEED a reason to paint all my Romulan, Hydran and Gorn ships, Damnit!
Fighter Attacks
It is by Flight, as it is considered a single attack
Asteroid Filed
All Damage in that Hex, as it is considered a single attack
Explosions
All rolls from a Single Ship, as it is treated as a Single attack.
Regarding ship Facet impact, That's how I would treat it.
We played it as "Current" hull size at MCon and I liked the feel better. It simulated the fact that as the Ship takes a pounding it's ability to repair was degraded (Teams killed, Power out in sections, Sections depressurized and inaccessible easily, etc.
Awesome!!
