Topic: Migrant Gamer
Greetings all,
I'm a long time gamer who's been away from space warfare for quite some time. Recently, I found some really nice ship models on Cults3D which prompted me to return to space combat; I'd planned on returning to Full Thrust, but after finding the Starmada: Full Thrust book online I've gone this direction instead (always loved the setting of the Tuffyverse but the flexibility of Starmada seemed more interesting). I've got a small fleetpack of UNSC, NAC, and a couple FSE (?) models gathering dust somewhere or another but I'm mostly going with the 3D printed ships this time around which leads me towards my first question (I had more but forgot them in the process of typing): What size physical fleets do most players tend to build/buy for their navies? For clarity I'm not asking about the points values you play with or what fleet distribution you use but the actual number and types of models you own. Once I finish printing up fleets I also intend to order some of the classic metal minis I love as well but not sure when to say "enough is enough"; I know I want to finish out the five FT major powers, one two of the lesser powers I always liked, as well as a few Brigade Models fleets that caught my eye recently (did not catch the name of the faction though).
A second question just came back to me: I found another crossover product of Starmada's on DriveThru for campaign play (Victory by Any Means) which looks like it was written for an older (obsolete?) edition of the rules. Were there any plans to bring this supplement up to the current edition of the game? If not how difficult would it be to covert myself (given effectively no knowledge of the applicable edition's rules)? I've created similar campaign style supplements in the past for other space combat games but would prefer to have something ready to move in than building the house myself.
