Default Re: Next Patch to SFTC

Starfire is also a series of books (written by the guy who helped design it, David Webber). I've never seen the game.

I have 2 books, In Deaths ground and The Shiva option, which detail the bug war. There are 2 others I know of, Crusade, which is a sort of prequel I think, and something about a human civil war I don't have much interest in since I despise Humans unwilling to obey the homeworld. There is another book coming out recently which we have agreed, or mostly PES says, isn't good.

Really, hmm, maybe I'll pick it up. It's at my local bookshop but I keep skipping it.

I went looking for starfire (the boardgame) on the net and found it, I also found this (I'm sure it's from the boardgame)

Yes that is from the game, but it looks like a house rule variation. Unless you are lucky enough to find a copy on eBay or an on-line game shop you won't find the Third Edition anymore. The license owner stopped supporting it so his Galactic (or is it Ultimate) StarFire is the only version in print. I don't support Galactic StarFire. I bought the rules but am not convinced it is worth the effort. To me Galactic SF looks like a 4X style game (in fact SE3 was my first impression) that had been turned into a paper and board game. WTF sense does that make? Why am I going to play a computer game as a paper game. I can't officially say the SFTC is based on 3rd Edition StarFire. What I can say is that it draws inspiration from 3rd and not Galactic. I would only consider a mod based on Galactic SF if I was aiding another modder, not the sole author. And I would never agree to sharing the SFTC name with a mod like that.

Once again thank you David! There are the Personnel icons for the conversion. So that is:
Minerals ==> MC
Radioactives ==> Personnel
kT ==> HS

Now how about my earlier question? How many workers/employees does it take to operate the below (earlier post) list of facilities?
