Will Distant Armada or Battleships Armada be the next Unity conversion?
Also, what do you think will be the approximate time frame on those? Three months? Six? Just curious when I can give you my money. 
Distant Armada is roughly 50% done, and I'm trying to keep it on the fast track to completion.
Awesome!
I will order a copy of Distant Armadas as well as Alien Armadas, and Battleships Armada when it comes out as well.
My friends and I here in Jacksonville play Starmada at least twice a week.
It is a fun challenge to keep up with my friends when it comes to ship-design & game tactics.
We are having a great time. 8-)
Cheers,
Steven
Good choice, since it adds Hydrans, Lyrans, and WYN to the game. I've always shied away from Hydrans because fighters in FC/SFB were too involved for my taste, so I'm excited to play them in Starmada where the game mechanics won't bog down. I'm curious how ESGs will be implemented!
Steven, did you play Federation Commander or Star Fleet Battles before Starmada SFU? I'm a long-time SFU player, and I am really loving Starmada! I've played more games since buying Klingon and Romulan Armada about a month ago than I played of FC in the past six months. I'll always have a fondness for SFB and will still play FC, but Starmada is my main game now. It's exactly what I was looking for - the setting and the ships I know and love, with modern, streamlined gameplay that eliminates nearly all of the bookkeeping. Since the third game or so, I don't need to reference the manual unless I'm doing something new. You have to love a game where you can keep the Damage Allocation Chart in your head!

I plan on playing Hydrans, myself.
My friends & I played SFB in the beginning days back in the 1980s. :!:
I still have the original rules, Expansions 1,2,3 as well as updated Captian's Editions.
I also played Starfire.
I definitely prefer Starmada.
Lol I played Starfire as well! SSSAAAHWIFIWDIIII
My first SFB purchase was the Designer's Edition back in 1982 or '83. I had the three expansions too, and then I bought the Commander's Edition. I dropped out before the Captain's Edition was released, but I came back to the SFU a few years ago by playing the Cadet Game, then I got into Fed Com.
I prefer Starmada as well. I am finally able to play bigger scenarios with more ships per side. I'm impressed with the way the system handles things that are very complex in FC/SFB, such as cloaking and Tholian Webs. "Simple but not simplistic" is a great way to describe the game.
