Topic: Federation & Kzinti Admiralty

I found it odd that in the original Starfleet Battles game the Federation didn't sport Drones that often and the Kzinti were king of the Drones.

In Starmada AE the Feds have just as many as the Kzinti. Makes them almost look like you're flying the same ship.

Re: Federation & Kzinti Admiralty

The SFU ships with SNE are just that, adaptations. Personnally, I prefered the old SFB ships which were a bit more different from each other than the latest ones. You see the differences between Kzinti and Klingons? I don't.

Re: Federation & Kzinti Admiralty

The big difference between the Klingons and Kzinti is the number of drone launchers and short range phasers. Kzinti have more short range weapons and note drone launchers. Klingon has smaller number of drone launchers and a larger number of offensive (longer range) phasers.

Re: Federation & Kzinti Admiralty

Yes, but in the end, you have almost the same ships. They have the same drones, heavy and light weapons. And everything else is (almost) the same.

Re: Federation & Kzinti Admiralty

I am putting the ships into the Shipbuilder ExelSheet. I'm thinking about going back and knocking out some of the Federation Drones and increasing the Kzinti ones. I'd have to go back to the original Starfleet Battles game to see who gets what.

Another thing I've noticed... and I may have just missed it because all I did was a quick scan of the Romulan Armada rules...

The Plasma Torpedoes are GRADE A NASTY!!!!!!! The seekers by themselves are okay... but the BOLTS!!! Dang!!! I would use the Bolts alone and kick major bullocks!!!! I see the Bolts are "Slow Firing"... Are the launching of the Seeker Plasma Torps also ""Slow Firing"? If not my opponent is going to see a LOT of those suckers on the map flying at them!!! I think the actual launching of the seeker Torps should be "Slow Firing" if they're not already. It takes 3 turns to warm up and fire one of those puppies in the original game.

Yes, when a plasma torpedo is launched the tube may not be used in the following turn (reloading).
