Hi all, I'm very new to the game (not the genre) and am a long-time fan of the Starfire series (both paper play and fiction). I would be very interested in joining your game as the Ophiuchi. My reason being, I am not experienced in PBW, I am not experienced with Strategic combat (or simul. mov.) yet, and I am just getting ready to explore the awesome sounding Proportions mod. I wouldn't want to hamstring the war effort too much when my carriers start ramming Arachnid cruisers
. Seriously though, If your timetable is to start in mid-May, then I might have enough under my belt to at least keep the fighters flowing.
To get the story straight, this will be an alternate timeline where the fringe rebels from the Federation before first contact with the Arachnids correct? Wow.
I have two other quick questions. Will the Ophiuchi still get a fighter bonus with the Proportions Version? and can foreign fighters launch from allied carriers?
Oh, I have an extensive Starfire system map .bmp somewhere. I'll see if I can't dig it up and send it along.
One more thing, wouldn't drones make awesome stand-ins for Arachind gunboats?
