Ah, Star Fleet Battles. Star Trek through the lens of 1970's Mil Sci-Fi with a license made out of spite. Seriously, Star Fleet must always be two words and supposedly they can only mention the Enterprise a handful of times in the lifespan of the company.

What happened to the ships the Kelvin was looking for? Are they space dust?

Also, this is bring back memories of my Starfleet Command days, where my tactical prowess was limited to playing the Kzinti Mirak and banzai charging at enemy ships before hitting the Z key and unloading everything. Get enough drones and you're basically a spaceborne shotgun.

... Also this thread makes me wish that GoG would do Starfleet Command compatible with newer OS's as SFC 1 is only good on Win 7.

What they need to do is get Empires at War and Orion Pirates up already, along with Klingon Academy.

So is SFB using a different definition of Warp Drive or is it saying the Romulans did not have faster-than-light travel during the Earth-Romulan Wars?

That can be chalked up to it being a TV show going through many different writers it was never going to make a coherent universe the cloaking device taking up so much power that warp drive was pointless and the Romulans basically being on a suicide mission.

If that lets us throw in the Federation then I second.

What is up with Hydrans?



They're a giant space monarchy (Royal family of 30,000 with 1,200 prices and princesses who have claims to the throne) who used to be occupied by the Klingons and Lyrans and are now a Federation ally. I do not remember how they work gameplay wise but I'm sure someone here knows

You'd think destroying all of its hull points would at least kill some Crew units.

How long is an impulse in real seconds? I remember there was a lot of talk about relativity when I tried to learn how to play this game.

I'm gonna imagine them as 6 seconds like a D&D round.

That is about how I am thinking of them when I get distracted and write lovely Star Trek Fan Fiction during the turn updates.

I like the little narratives, it'll keep things interesting.

The only downside to avoiding boarding parties is that they might trigger the self-destruct and cost us our prize. (Speaking OOC, don't know if that's a thing in SFB)

There was a different Starfleet Command 3 in development? Dang, that would've been neat.

EDIT: http://www.starfleetgames.com/federation/wynstarcluster.shtml Sounds like the WYN were cut also because they're basically a bunch of "live free or die" type pirates instead of a real empire.

Can we send out a distress call or whatever telling the freighter to change course right loving now?

If one of the captains volunteers to be a suicide ship, then maybe. Otherwise it makes more sense to take our chances.

At the least, a play by post is better for rules debates than a live game.
