You forgot to add For the Masses 2e and "For the Macedonians"

I'm always up for more Starmada.....

Although I'd love a Fantasy RP game... I figure we could do a great job with it.

Of the choices, I'd say Quantum Legions, for no other reason than I've got some graphics for that already, and I'd like to get that one done. Having seem the mechanics, I'm also wondering if it will mutate and how well it's going to be received.

I'd also like to see the next Iron Stars supplement, or the next Starmada supplement done (yeah, Todd, I know...).

I'm also somewhat enamored of seeing Space Fleet Omega, and I've got some ideas on that one....

That's going just fine. I'm already working on more ships.

I think a fantasy (sci-fi) system that has the ability to upgrade your band of characters would be a nice touch (modifying Ares perhaps) so you could run campaigns over time and have your characters grow, but also a 'point' system so you can make 'balanced' encounters/dungeons.

By the way, what is Quantum Legions?

Pinnacle system is nice, but it lacks in the complete 'design' aspect of things (I'm leary of their point costs frankly).  I think Ares would work well if you added a couple of things.  I think magic items is a big hole in the system (and they should just add to the final points of the character).

So a magical chainmail would say cost 15 pts that would just be added to the final price of an Ares miniature (so a person didn't have to recalulate the character's price every game.  I guess that would be the same for experience as well.  It would be just simpler then having to plug the character through the design process everytime the character levels up.

I do like the group pool idea.

Upgrading ARES to allow for 'stat increases' reminds me somewhat of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. I've not played WHFB, just that the concept sounds similiar.

..and it's not a bad idea.

Magic Items could also be stand-alone 'characters' if they could be activated by any player.

Well, Sovereign Stars is out though...

I voted for Starmada because i don't think Grand Fleets needs a second edition. I like the way it plays now.  An historical battle scenarios supplement would be nice. Or bats, ship stats, and potted history...

Ares and the hex-based squad game I don't play. So that leaves Starmada supplement as the one I'm hankering for.

I disagree.  From what I've heard of the supposed Grand Fleets second edition it sounds very nice.  Add to that a big launch for it could get GF more into the public view.  Its kinda obscure today, which is a shame.

Perhaps.  Of course I didn't even know there was anything even in discussion about a GF2e until you said "From what I've heard...."  :wink:

I am never really opposed to a 2nd Ed if it adds to the game, even if the new edition is more of a errata and format cleanup.   But I do think that supplements containing ship data and/or scenerio/order of battle information would be nice. 

Whether supplements pay or not is another thing  :shock:

Let's be honest -- none of this is actually going to "pay", in the sense that I can quit my day job and do this 24/7...

Regarding GF2, I would say it's about 80% done (Kevin's waiting for me to get off my ass and finish the weapons data so he can churn out the ship data). And I doubt anyone's going to be disappointed with the improvements...
