(Idle curiosity... Are you the same Weirdo from the ADB/FedCom Forum?) And Starship Combat News, and CGL's Battletech forum, if you go to any of those. :) Oh, you want more detail? Yep. :) As things stand, I still don't know exactly what's in Unity that's different from AE. And my budget's tight en...

Upfront disclosure: I love AE, and view it as 98% perfect.

With that in mind...why should I buy this? What's in it that I can't live without, that couldn't have been put in Rules Annex II, Unobtanium Boogaloo?

Has anyone managed to work up any conversion formulas for bringing Full Thrust ships into AE? At this point, I'm mostly concerned with how you rated ships' defenses. I've only managed to convert the NSL, and my pattern is Hull= Mass/7.5 Engines= Thrust*2 Sheilds= Armor/2 (Max 5) This doesn't really ...

Shame about the inability to represent EW support ships or dedicated escorts, but I can understand the potential for abuse. Guess I'll need to find some other way to represent things like Babylong 5-style scout or defense ships.

Hello. I'm trying to build some stuff in Starmada AE, but cannot find a way to do what I'm trying to represent. Is there any rule, trait, or equipment in AE that allows a ship to protect another through screening(or any process other than shooting at the attacking enemies), or a way to provide elect...
