 April 5, 2010 - 2:43pm | In approaching my possible scratchbuilds, I have found myself wondering, has anybody done any sort of scale determination on the official SF spaceship miniatures. Though this really is unimportant, I am curious. Thank you, -Eli |
April 4, 2010 - 3:10pm | Hey folks, I have recently been bitten by the bug for SF again, but this time it's along the Knight Hawks line. Now, I am aware that the availability and selection of ships for the SF universe is pretty slim and was wondering if anyone had tried their hand at scratchbuilding their own vessels for the game? Given the very basic designs used in the official SF material, this doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult. -Eli |
 April 3, 2010 - 9:35pm | Anthropologist discover a skull and partial skeleton that constitutes a new branch of the human evolutionary tree. A flurry of papers results and the diagram of the tree is re-written and every thing eventually is forgotten. Centuries latter humanity leaves its home system and winds up in the Frontier.

March 28, 2010 - 7:51am | Week after my birthday I was allowed out to go gaming at the Hobby Bunker and helped a club member play test a Battle of Stalingrad scenario using Poor Boody Infantry rules modified for 28mm gaming- was a ton of fun and I steamrolled some croation nazis (just played the same game at a small convention and played the German and Croats and very nearly won a major victory- some lucky dice rolls in the last turn let the soviets recapture an objective I was holding and gave them a minor victory.) I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
March 24, 2010 - 8:58pm | I dont really see a Star Trek style prime directive applying in SF- what with exploitive mega corps and in-ept politicians the natives are pretty much screwed, Here ya go have some fire water. In the volturnus campaign the PCs technically got to make first contact with 5 new species (3 primitive) with frontier pirates mucking up the waters and only one race was really hostile toward them (the mechanons). Odd when you think about it. I was wondering if the UPF had any Frist Contact policies or a SF version of the prime directive? Or not. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 March 19, 2010 - 12:15am | I "borrowed" this topic from another forum, it seemed like a fun one. So what was your first SF character and which game/module did he/she/it start in? Let's throw in the name of your first ship while we're at it too. My first SF character was an NPC male yazirian named Narlok for the Basic Game "Pan Galactic Security Breach". |
March 14, 2010 - 9:45pm | So there I was having a late night glass of wine and watching a rerun of House and flipping through KH looking for ideas and it hit me- Tracer Implant for bank loans over 10,000 Cr Then it occured to me that Bounty Hunters and repo men could be a good campaign hook. -lots of action -some violence -plenty of oportunity for twist: target turns out to be a sathar agent or other -pitates are now in possession of the ship they're suppose to repo -they can take jobs that are illegal or shady I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 March 12, 2010 - 12:25am | Long ago I pulled someones 3D (xyz) frontier map coordinates off the web and plotted them with gnuplot. This allowed me to rotate the map and view it from different perspectives but lacked because each star is just a pixel in the plot. I added the star routes to help keep perspective. Unfortunately gnuplot is not user friendly for game play and such. I'd like to be able to zoom in/out, rotate, and click on stars for windows of system data and a system map. I am wondering is anyone has every come across a 3D star map program that they like? -iggy -iggy |
