COMMUNIQUE #83 STARDATE

Transcription

1 COMMUNIQUE # STARDATE. NEW IN THIS ISSUE We have included several new items in this issue. Revised Ship Card: Lyran destroyer Large Format Ship: Romulan RegalHawk New Ship Card: Andromedan Eel scout New Escort Ship Card: Tholian destroyer escort Scenario: CM The Raider s Ball PLANs FOR & Beyond The main product this fall will be Reinforcements Attack with new ships for every empire. (Counting its three Booster Packs, new ships and one new monster will appear.) We have decided (after consulting with you, the players) that this is a better approach than doing individual attack products for different areas of the galaxy. Borders of Madness is being developed for release at a future time, with scouts, carriers, escorts, battle tugs, maulers, and other ships that only a madman would want to see added to Federation Commander. Federation Admiral, a campaign manual designed to work with Federation Commander, will be released when finished. It will also work with SFB, Starmada, and ACTASF and will provide players with everything they need to create their own campaigns at any level (strategic, regional, or local). This will be one of the largest books we have ever released. Briefing # is in preparation. It contains commando ships, transports, survey ships, police ships, ground bases, specialized freighters, and much more needed for Fed Admiral. The Scenario Reference Book is steadily making progress toward publication. The Starship Reference Book has recently come on the radar as a plausible product worth doing. A proper Tactics Manual is being developed. Lots of ship packs and other items in PDF format will be loaded onto e. We will make an effort to do at least one new six-pack every other month. We realize that some sell better than others, but we need to do them all and do them in a logical order. Each will have a mix of existing and entirely new ships, and some ships for future products will debut in this way.

Elements of the Star Fleet Universe are the property of Paramount Pictures Corporation and are used with their permission. COMMANDER NEWS THE BBS & FORUM: KEYS TO COMMUNICATION The BBS ( can be confusing at first sight, as it has hundreds of topics, used daily by a thousand players. Registration is free, but we do require all participants to use their real names. (This not only improves the overall tone of civility, but makes sure you get credit for any suggestions you make.) When you register, you will see topics for each of our product lines. Feel free to venture into the broader universe as you get more comfortable with the system. There is also a forum (much easier for new players) on the website. It allows screen names and avatars but isn t used for submissions of new items. Several versions of the updated Master Ship Chart for Federation Commander are on the Commander s Circle. The CRUL (Consolidated Rules Update List), listing all rules changes, is now in the Commander s Circle. In the Commander s Circle is the Scenario Designer s Guide: You will find a link to the Commander s Circle at: along with everything else for this game system. WEBSITE UPDATE We continue to update and improve our website: Our graphics director adds new things to the website every week, and most of those come from either customer requests or the FLAP (Finish Like A Pro) list done after the completion of each new product. Let us know (at graphics@starfleetgames.com) if you see any glitches in the website or think of ways to improve the website for all of us. The website includes a wealth of information, downloads, and other items for players of all of our games. Explore, look around, click on random entries in the Master Index, and you may be surprised what you find. The Master Index can be found at: You can always find out what has been added here:

SFB PLATINUM HAT The second online SFB Platinum Hat tournament has begun, with a larger turnout than last year.

3 FEDERATION COMMANDER SCENARIO (CM) THE RAIDER S BALL The Federation fast cruiser USS Eagle was conducting a raid behind Klingon lines in. The Klingons had sent the Eastern Fleet s raiders to Operation Nutcracker (the attack on the Tholians) and the Lyrans had deployed the fast cruiser Moonca to support their allies. The Lyran ship pursued Eagle. Eastern Fleet sent other ships to respond to the Eagle with no real hope of catching it, but such interceptors did at least keep Eagle on the move and limited the areas it could reach. What the Klingons did not know was that the Eagle s attack on a Klingon supply base was actually a diversion to hide its real mission, which was to rendezvous with an Orion raider cruiser carrying a Hydran delegation with several important diplomats and engineers. As the Eagle moved toward what the Klingons assumed was an unimportant asteroid field, the Eagle ducked into the zone to mask its sensor image and pick up the Hydrans. (CMa) NUMBER OF PLAYERS Two: The Lyran-Coalition player and the Federation- Orion player. (CMb) INITIAL SETUP Map: Set up the map with four panels (short edges adjoining) across and one panel high if using small hexes (seven wide and two high if using large hexes). The long edges are the top/bottom and the short edges are right/ left. The middle two panels are asteroid panels (the middle three on both rows if using the large hexes). You may use whichever asteroid panels you have available. The map is fixed and does not float. The Coalition and Orion ships can enter or leave the map from any edge, but if they do so, they have left the scenario and cannot return to it. If the Eagle exits the map from any map edge other than the right edge of the last panel, it is trapped by other Lyran and Klingon ships and destroyed. Federation: Set up the Orion CR Rocksmasher (optional weapons are disruptors) in any asteroid hex. Set up the Eagle in any hex to the left of the asteroid field. Lyran-Coalition: Set up the Lyran CF Mooncat hexes to the left of the Eagle. Set up the Klingon G police cutter Korlich in either top/bottom map edge hex on the same row as the Eagle. Set up the Klingon E Bold Falcon in any hex of the last panel (on the right). (CMc) OBJECTIVE Mission-Federation: Pick up the Hydran diplomats and escape from the map as per the rules above. Mission-Lyran: Destroy the Eagle. Destroying the Orion ship is a secondary mission and of no real value unless the Eagle is destroyed or damaged. Time Limit: The scenario continues until all ships belonging to one player have been captured or destroyed, or have disengaged. Victory: If both the Eagle and Rocksmasher escape uncrippled, the Federation wins a Decisive Victory. If only the Eagle escapes uncrippled, it is still a Substantive Victory. If Eagle is crippled, the scenario is a draw. If the Eagle is destroyed, it is a Substantive Klingon Victory. If the Eagle is captured, it is a Decisive Klingon Victory. Crippling the Rocksmasher (if Eagle is crippled, captured, or destroyed) increases the level of the Klingon victory by one (two levels if Rocksmasher is destroyed). (CMd) SPECIAL RULES. Withdrawal: If the Lyran fast cruiser is crippled, it must retire (E) from the battle.. Transfer: The Hydran diplomatic team (equal to two boarding parties) can be transferred to the Eagle by transporter, shuttle, or docking.. Asteroids: Use the standard asteroid rule (B). (CMe) FORCE DYNAMICS The scenario can be played again under different conditions by making one or more of the following changes:. Alternative Empires: You could replace the Federation CF with a Kzinti CF (or any other fast raider), or the Lyran CF with a Klingon FD. You could replace the Klingon ships with a Lyran POL and FF. You could replace the Orion CR with a Kzinti or Hydran ship of about the same point value. You could reverse the scenario, with Alliance ships pursuing a Klingon, Romulan, or Lyran raider.. Balance: The balance of the scenario could be adjusted by replacing any ship with the next larger or smaller size, or by adding or removing a Klingon G police cutter.. Faster Scenario: To finish this scenario in a shorter time, replace the Federation CF with a DDF and delete the Klingon G (move the E to that location).. Third Player: Have the Orion and Federation ships run by different players. The Orion ship cannot leave the map until the Hydran diplomats have been transferred. This will prevent a clever Federation player from sacrificing the Orion CR to facilitate his own escape. (CMf) DESIGNER S NOTES This scenario was written new for Federation Commander by David Diehl. He wanted a scenario that had the Federation and Hydrans meeting, and thought a deep raid by both empires might have such a meeting. ADB reduced the Hydran raider to an alternative rule (for the historical scenario) because of the difficulty of coordinating raiders from so far apart.

4 PDFS ARE NOW AVAILABLE! We have continued to offer more of our products as PDFs by way of the e website. So far, we have released a lot of stuff for Federation Commander, including the Revision Six Reference Rulebook, the ships from Federation Commander Briefing # (divided into six packs of ships and a separate rules pack), and more than a dozen Ship Card Packs. These PDFs are in color and high resolution. PDFs of most are searchable (some older Captain s Logs are not, but are being updated). The way e works, once you buy a product, you can download it again for no cost if you lose it or if we upload a revised version. Thus, the people who bought Reference Rulebook Revision were able to obtain Reference Rulebook Revision for free (and to download it again when we discovered we had accidentally left out rule S). We must note that these products are copyrighted and are not to be uploaded or passed around to your friends. Doing so is piracy, a criminal act, and may result in us deciding not to offer any more PDF products. We have also uploaded many Starmada, Star Fleet Battles, Federation & Empire, and GURPS Prime Directive products. PDM is on DriveThru RPG. The original Prime Directive First Edition books are being added to both e and DriveThru RPG.

RULES QUESTIONS Q: If a hex contains a medium or large asteroid [this is not an asteroid hex as in (B), but simply a large (B) or medium (B) asteroid by itself in a hex], what is the chance of a ship hitting it when it crosses the hex? If it hits, what happens? A: The ship will not hit the asteroid. If a ship enters a hex containing a planet, the ship hits the planet because it is so large that it literally fills up the hex. An asteroid, even a large one, is tiny compared to the volume of a hex, so it is easy for a ship to simply maneuver around it, even when operating at full speed with evasive maneuvers. If, however, the ship intentionally chooses to hit the asteroid, it will be destroyed, as even a medium asteroid has so much mass a ship cannot survive such a collision. Q: When does transfer of cargo by transporter (K) or docking (K) take place? A: Transfer of cargo by transporter takes place when the transporter operates in the Other Functions Phase (Ee) of the impulse in which the transporter is used. Transfer by docking takes place in the Marine Combat Phase (Ec). Note that the effects of any Marine combat will only happen after the transfer of cargo has been completed. Thanks to Mike West, our FC Division Commander, for keeping up with the rules questions.

5 CUSTOMER SUPPORT We do as much as we can to help our customers enjoy our products, and are always seeking new ways and open to new ideas to do so. Here is a general summary of the kind of things we can do. (Sorry for the small type, it does show just how much customer support stuff we have!) Just Ask Us You can contact the game designer at: design@starfleetgames.com You can contact our customer support person at: support@starfleetgames.com You can contact our sales department at: sales@starfleetgames.com Try asking a question, and we ll answer as best we can. For that matter, you can always just call the office at -- during business hours (- Central Time, M-F), and tell whoever answers (we take turns) what you need, and you will be sent to the right person to get your answer. Websites Our site at has a lot of stuff for you to use, and the Commander s Circle (found at Commanders%Circle/index.shtml) has lots of free downloads and other things. You can even download a demo copy of the game to give a friend. The StarBlog on FederationCommander.com includes daily posts of what s going on, and the forum on that site provides access to the Federation Commander community of players and to the game designers and customer-support people. Need an Opponent? There are a lot of ways to find one. Post a note in your game store. Go to the FederationCommander.com Forum and post a note in the Local Groups & Retailers section. Attend a local convention (if there is one). Go to the Commander s Circle and look at the player database (and post your information there so that the next person to check the list can find you). Go to our primary BBS at and look for the Seeking Opponents section and post a note there. Go to and look for the red Find Opponents button. Enter your data and in a few days you ll get an from our Customer Support Director with a list of gamers near you. Federation Commander Play-by- Playing Federation Commander by is an alternative to playing face-to-face. While there are a few differences (i.e., your opponent isn t sitting across the table from you), it is the same game. The basic gist of the Federation Commander play-by- (PBEM) system is that you and your opponent submit your orders for the turn to a moderator via . The moderator then processes them, and sends a SitRep (Situation Report) to the players via . You receive the results, write up your next set of orders, and then submit your orders once again. The process is repeated until the game is completed. Sounds simple? That s because it IS! It ll take a little getting used to (after all, what doesn t?), but once you ve got the hang of it, you ll be lobbing photon torpedoes (or whatever your weapon of choice is) at opponents from all over the world. Every Federation Commander PBEM game has at least three participants: two or more players and one moderator. The moderator s purpose is to accept orders from the players and carry them out, reporting the results of those orders to all players. While he is not a player, the moderator fulfills a very important role in the game. Good moderators and good players make for a good, enjoyable game of Federation Commander. Moderating a Federation Commander PBEM game is also an excellent way to learn more about the Federation Commande rules. While there are some disadvantages to PBEM (it does take longer to finish a game), there are advantages as well. You can play against people in other parts of the world (how often do you get to Australia, anyway?), you can play multiple games at once, and you can have large multi-player games (without worrying about running out of chips and soda). For more information about playing Federation Commander PBEM, please visit the play-by- section at soon, or check the PBEM section of either the Forum or the BBS. Federation Commander Online Gaming Many people do not know that you can play Federation Commander online in real time against live opponents, any time you want, hours a day. A decade ago, was created to provide players of Star Fleet Battles with an on-line gaming experience. It was a smash hit as hundreds of gamers joined the battles. Tournaments and other competitions, plus general open gaming, have gone on around-the-clock since then. This successful operation has been expanded to include Federation Commander! Now you can play with real live human opponents all over the world in real time hours a day, seven days a week! The computer automates many functions and acts as a friendly assistant for mundane chores. For a modest subscription fee of less than $ a month, you have access to all of the ships in the Federation Commander game system as well as new ships still in playtest and development. The Java Runtime system is compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and other systems. Never worry about a lack of opponents. Never worry about opponents who don t show up for game day because of silly reasons like family reunions or their own weddings. Don t be cut off from your regular gaming group while on vacations or business trips. Even better, you can join in online tournaments and campaigns, and your victories will add up to a higher and higher average score! The system also allows you to chat with friends, taunt your enemies, and watch other players fight their own savage battles. (Why learn from your own mistakes when you can learn from someone else s?) This observer system allows players of either game (or those who have yet to join either) to learn the ins and outs of the other game before deciding to invest time and money in it. So come to right away. You can even fly the Federation CA or Klingon D as a free trial, or watch any game in play. Legendary SFB aces and new Federation Commander aces strut their stuff in combat arenas all the time, and you can learn from the best.
