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.

Re: Next Patch to SFTC
Really, hmm, maybe I'll pick it up. It's at my local bookshop but I keep skipping it.

Re: Next Patch to SFTC
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)

Re: Next Patch to SFTC
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.

Re: Next Patch to SFTC
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?
