Hello everyone,

My friends and I have played many games of Starmada Nova Edition.  I didn't use shields from the beginning, and instead used Ablative Armor to protect my ships.  Too many times I had rolled to many 1s &2 s while making damage checks on my ships so I gave all of my ships "Fragile Systems" because the loss of two system boxes seemed to happen over half the time anyway..  I used all of the savings in CV to add more hull & armor to my ships.  This way, I know what hapens when they are damaged, then crippled.  Note:  All of my ships on the DryDock are listed under SJG Gamer.

All of my friends have been following my lead.  No ships now have shields, and everyone's ships seem to have "Fragile Systems" and armor for protection.  Interesting developement.  Fragile systems just does not work with shields...

What trends have other players seen in the games they play among themselves and their friends?
