StarFire Mod v-Beta 2

[President_Elect_Shang]

I think Fyron has a very good point; I will start here and as people ask just add to this one post rather than creating a dozen. If I miss some please feel free to point it out. These will just be short answers but should be good enough to provide a working definition.

Pre-IND = before the industrial revolution
IND1 = Industrial revolution up to Computer Revolution
IND2 = Computer Revolution to Intersystem Exploitation (In the Mod this is HTL Zero)
HTL1 = Extra Solar Travel on up.
3rdR = StarFire 3rd Edition
AD = Alkelda Dawn Expansion (not in Mod)
Ic = Commercial grade engine
I = Military grade engine
WP = Warp Point
UTM = Unified Tech Manual (Currently v1.1)
UTR = Unified Tech Rules, book soon to be released that will consolidate all 3rd
Edition rules into one easy to reference manual.

ISF = Imperial StarFire, rule book covering command and control of an empire at the strategic level of play.

I suggest a different abbreviation for Starfire than SF, as it overlaps with Starfury, MM's newest game, so might lead to unnecessary confusion down the line.

I understand your point; however for us SF was StarFire for over a decade before StarFury. I think we will stick with that meaning; it should not take to long (given the threads name) for others to figure out what we mean.

The SF comment was actually to keep non-StarFire and StarFire players alike from getting this Mod mixed up with StarFire 4th Edition anyway. This Mod is not based on StarFire 4th Edition; allow me to point that out one more time.

then why not use 3rdR since this is being based on that ruleset plus UTM, from what I can tell so far.

3rdR is the Starfire 3rd Edition Revised
UTM is the Unified Tech Manual

President Elect Shang, I vote A, my gut feel is A, combine it all, A rules etc.

OK, you should now have my e-dress for sending the beta to. Look forward to kicking things off.

Re the sprint mode missile thing, oh bugger, oh well, what are you going to do with DUC's anyhow?

Get well soon

[President_Elect_Shang]

Following Dan’s suggestion I have changed the below post of abbreviations/working definitions you may see used in this thread.

Choice A or Choice B? The A’s have it, all IND2 will be combined into HTL1, Mod HTL Zero (IND2 3rdR) will be combined before release of the Beta and all players and AI will start at HTL1. HTL Zero (IND2 3rdR) will be dropped completely.

Good morning Growltigger and get back to work!
I have your info added and shot back a reply, my mind is running a little slow, DUC?

[Growltigger]

President Elect Shang, I have already been hard at work for 7 hours whilst you were tucked up in your wickle bed!

DUC's - SEIV standard depleted uranium cannon, which I thought would make good sprint missile systems and which you dont.

I wondered what if you were using DUC's in your mod, and if so, what they were going to be in the Starfire universe
