Re: Alien Armada...

Ordered my copy moments after I saw your post. Gawd, I am such a junkie   wink
thanks for the post, I was watching ADBs product page and you had this up before they had the update in their store as a new release!
cheers,

Re: Alien Armada...

As usual I will wait for it to appear in my FLGS in a few weeks.

Re: Alien Armada...

Any idea when we will be seeing Lyrans and Hydrans?

Re: Alien Armada...

I was also wondering that, but it's maybe a bit too early to ask.  :oops:

Re: Alien Armada...

The next release includes Lyrans/Hydrans. So, early next year?

Do you mean... January 2nd? big_smile

Re: Alien Armada...

I'm guessing it would be a combo of the Distant Kingdoms and Hydran Attack modules for FC, then?

Lol, well then first you'll have to convince Amarillo Design Bureau to add them into Federation Commander... or just do the rules yourself!  It is Starmada afterall!

Re: Alien Armada...

Pun aside, ADB cannot include Borg unless they buy the rights. But we have the Andromedans. I really wonder how they will be simulated in Starmada.
About the Borg, I suppose their Shield value begins at 5 and increase everytime it is hit. big_smile

Does that work? o.o

Re: Alien Armada...

Re: Borg shields going up:
What if you had a ship trait where shields started low, and increased as you take shield hits?  Probably a decrease in DRAT to invert the Shield Track (so you start at 1 and then it goes up to whatever shield level you paid for at the rate it would normally go down).  Ex: A hull-4 shields 2 ship would normally have a shield track 2 2 1 1, but with Inverted Shields, it might have 1 1 2 2.

This would also play really annoyingly with Continuing Damage or the Extra Shield Damage mechanic that was being tossed around a month or three ago...

Re: Alien Armada...

Huzzah! If only I could find someone who still needs to buy me a Christmas present....  big_smile

Re: Alien Armada...

My copy just arrived in the mail, and I can't wait to get into it! First impression from a quick flip through is that this book just looks a little more "polished" than the previous Trekmada installments. Maybe I can feign illness and avoid Christmas decoration duty tonight to get some reading in  wink

Received it today and eager to read it...
