PBW Star Trek Game

I think Sparhawk and Tesco both said they wanted intel on, but that was before my big post...

I dont mind either way.

I'd be interested in playing! When will the game take place?? I've never played multiplay so this would be fun. I'll play the Breen if it's still available and game time fits my schedule.

Yes, I never used intel, but due some games I'm in now, I now see the "strength" of intel.
Simple: you have to have it; to destroy your enemy fast or counter.
If you don't have it, and your opponent has, then you are in a real mesh.
Therefore I normally do a game without intel, altought this is going to change: "I have seen the light".

But for this game its something else: we are encourage to roleplay our race and because of this all arguments against it are invalid.
Like Geoschmo is saying, if you want to play the races of star trek the right way, then you have to include intel. If you like it or not.
So Sorry Fyron, but if we want to make a star trek universe SEIV game we should include intel.

You just hit on the broken "all or nothing" behavior of intel in SE4. Regardless of this being a pseudo-RP game, intel is still not a good thing to have enabled.

But for this game its something else: we are encourage to roleplay our race and because of this all arguments against it are invalid.

Umm...... no. RP or not, my arguments are still perfectly valid for this game.

Like Geoschmo is saying, if you want to play the races of star trek the right way, then you have to include intel. If you like it or not.

There are plenty of options that are not related to intel for you to explore in your RP.

So Sorry Fyron, but if we want to make a star trek universe SEIV game we should include intel.

No, we do not have to have intel to make it a star trek universe. There is no ST equivalent to a lot of the intel projects in SE4. You can't really justify them in that manner.

We already have Stellar Manipulation disabled. There is some ST basis for some of the Stellar Manipulations, but that tech was still disabled. So, you can't hardly use the fact that there is a little espionage in ST to argue for the inclusion of intel in this game and maintain any sort of consistency.

How about a compromise. Include Intel... But your not allowed to use PPP or ship capture. But everything else is game.

[tesco samoa]

Umm... Whats the game called
