Topic: Klingon Starmada Online

Gentle beings (ok not so gentle beings),

I am the owner of SFB Online and Fed Com Online. I was thinking about adding an SFU Armada room type into the client. It looks like a very cool system and I would love to add it. Before I add it I wanted to make I didn't miss anything large. The functionality that I would start with is:

1) Ship Definition Tool. So that the ships could be added to the library and make it so that people do not have to type them in themselves. (Note: I already have permission from ADB for this)

2) Define movement orders and execute them after everybody has defined theirs.

3) Damage Allocation to automate the process.

4) Support for fighters flights/drones.

Is there anything that I am missing?

Note: The target is not Starmada in general but more to the SFU Armada stuff.

Re: Klingon Starmada Online

Would be awesome if you could just give your drake notation and be able to enter your ships with just that.

Re: Klingon Starmada Online

Where is "drake notation" defined? I didn't see it mentioned in the Klingon Armada Rules.

Re: Klingon Starmada Online

You'll find it in the Starmada Admiralty rule book.

Re: Klingon Starmada Online

I don't see it in the "Starmada: Admiralty Edition" rulebook. I see the construction rules. I found some examples on the board. To me, it seems to be just a text dump of the ship card. Though, I can not find anything that truly defines the format.

But anyway, it looks like a lot text processing for the client to get it into internal data structures so that the damage allocator would work.

So other than that feature/functionality is there anything that you see that I am missing from my initial proposal that is critical and wold make it unusable if it was not there?

Re: Klingon Starmada Online

The drake notation is defined in the The Bourbaki Basin (Admiralty) section of the forum.
