Everything alright, Dan?
You did not post the guidelines and you have not been on the board in a few days. Just wanting to make sure that you are ok.

Re: Yet another B5 Thread
I was hoping that the four "popular" ships would come out roughly even in terms of point values (I blame it on too much SFB, where the Fed CA and the Klingon D7 were designed to be pretty evenly matched). Gotcha. Bab5 is not that kind of universe, however. :) I'm also looking at making so...

This.

As compared to... what? If you mean as compared to the values given in B5Wars.... ignore that. Dan's math-fu is vastly superior to AoG's estimation-(feel-good)-fu. Nothing against AoG, mind you... but their battle point values were vastly askew in places.

Re: Yet another B5 Thread
I know that B5W uses a d20 for to hit so this really magnifies the differences in Fire Control (d6=16. 6 % per point, d20=5%), but if you try to squeeze it down at 3-1 everything homogenizes out and all the weapons end up at 3+ or 4+ and nothing much outside of that. I loved B5Wars. But as much as ...

Re: SFU Unity
Eventually, I'd love to see non-FC things show up in SFU SUE: Scouts, non-Hydran carriers, possibly even PFs. Starmada feels like you could use F&E as a campaign system for it (which is way too time-intensive to do in SFB), and filling in the gaps for at least the unexpanded base game would be ...

Re: Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy - ACE
Starmada AE had a lot of options for fighters. I am hoping for custom fighter rules at some point from Dan -- but I want to use only official rules right now in mt S.D.G. setting. As such, the fighters fielded by the A.C.E. are both considered Interceptors (the A.C.E. are not very good at the constr...
