Starship Combat II Advanced for FASA

I did an upgrade to my homebrewed starship combat rules-

Im attaching a copy here, its also at Yahoo and when I update the site I'll post it there

Thanks,
Joe

I noticed an error in one of the control panels< I went and uploaded the corrected file. Sorry!

Here's the update

I found a pretty glaring error: somewhere along the line I cut and paste the roll
modifiers for the captain incorrectly. They should read:

LUC > 70 +1
LUC <20 -1
PSI >70 +1
PSI<20 -1

I corrected them in both the basic and advanced versions. They're downloadable from my site and Yahoo group.

On a different topic, I was toying around with a Next Generation supplement,
just tossing it out for discussion before I exert too much energy into the
project.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

That sounds interesting. Based on the original, I'd like to see your take on the TNG era.

What do other prople think?

I guess it's just you and me then!! LOL!
I've been compiling some stuff and making a few notes here and there. I may have a draft in the next few weeks for TNG.

I'm always interested in seeing new material for FASA :)

Great! But I'm going to need a little help- I'm going to need these races ranked in highest to lowest order according to offensive and defensive capabilities in TNG:

Klingon
Federation
Borg
Romulan
Cardassian
Kazon
Ferengi
S' on'a
Jem'hadar
Dominion
Breen
Tholian
Gorn
Orion (if they're still around)

Feel free to add any I may have missed!
Thanks

I would say

Borg
Jem'hadar
Dominion
Klingon
Federation
Breen
Romulan
Cardassian
Son'a
Kazon
Tholian
Gorn
Ferengi
Orion

That order looks about right. I would maybe flip the Breen and the Romulans around?

And although the Orions are still around (as the Syndicate) in TNG times, and I would LOVE to bump them up the list, I don't think they have any real major firepower to bring to bear.

The lower aprt of the list is probably quite close in overall combat terms, I would say. From Son'a down is where the split probably is.

That list does look pretty good. I think maybe the Breen should move up the list and maybe the Tholians, but I think we're just splitting hairs. I'm not well versed in trek adversaries after about the third season of ds9, and VOY ignored entirely. Anyhoos, that's a good list for offensive strength, what about defense?

I'm in the middle of hammering out the Borg, so any thoughts about them would be certainly welcome. Like Borg ship classes?

Thanks!

Well....here's what I got.

I quickly discovered that TNG was sooooo tech involved compared to TOS that everything became....bigger. But not impossible.

All the control charts are 1 page per character as compared to the 1/2 page of the previous versions. I also maybe them them check boxed rather than open spaced - I thought it was easier to work with.

I think I got most of the major powers covered, but if one pops up that I missed, lemme know.

I didn't add combat round examples as I did with the other versions mainly because I hate to type. I'll post some separately on my website when I feel more motivated :).

I'm pretty sure I got most of the skills and combat roles right as they pertain to TNG, but if I really turned the trekverse on its ear....lemme know.

Comments and feedback are always welcome!
Joe

Impressive, I will need some time to read through this, but in glancing through, this looks like some damn fine work.

Thanks! :)

Admittedly, I think it's great, too. Examined it thuroughly, and would playtest it a few times, and maybe would even work on a TFD and UFG edition to this. It would be a further experiment in the intriguing.

Thank you sir! I kinda wish I had more time to playtest this one as much as the other versions, but my group was never as interested in playing the next generation as tos. Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated! ..and you lost me on the whole UFG TFD thing. Anyhoos, it's good to see you around-Isee you've been keeping busy building ships- bravo sir, bravo!

That's further in the future from TNG. I can help more with that, data and development-wise.

Oh, you must mean the Star Trek online stuff. I have no clue about that period, but we can toss around ideas if you like. How much different from TNG is it?

The Orions shouldn't be on the list at all. That's like putting the Mafia on the same list as the British and US Armies...

Well, you might put the Hudson's Bay Company on it.

Yeah, I think the Orions are borderline. The only reason I included them originally was because FASA dedicated so much time with them. I guess I kinda looked at them as the future Syrians or North Koreans. Somalians?

Here's something I was toying with- rules for planetary defenses and orbital attacks

That is one detailed idea, Sir. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

I love how you tied in the number of defenses allowed into the Planetary Index stats from the RPG. Well thought out ideas in this document.

Many thanks! I hope to run a mirror universe campaign some day so maybe itll come in handy. I think im gonna tackle ground forces next, using this as a template. I fear its gonna be a lot more involved than I would like. We'll see. :) Thanks again!

I agree, really well thought out and detailed work here.

Thanks much appreciated!
