  Re: Intro Sector Idea
 
(...) Hi John! I wish I could say otherwise, but no this group has not been very active over the past two years. Everyone involved (myself included) were slowly pulled away for "real life" during the year or two before that. I myself have been (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)
 
  Re: Intro Sector Idea
 
Very well. I think five days is adequate time to wait for replies before replying to my own post. Evidently, this group isn't currently active. With that in mind, I'd like to post a notification here, to all interested parties, advising that I am (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

:::walks into the dusty, darkened thread, coughing several times as stale air fills his lungs::: Hi folks! Question from a very, very interested newbod - is this group still active? I think it's a fascinating, well-thought-out concept that caters (...) (17 years ago, 22-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

  Re: space battle tactical game?
 
(...) Hi, I am designing a table top game for space battles right now, the working title is Brickfleet. You can design ships and make battles with it. And I am looking for people to test play it, and improve the game. Are you interested, at least I (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: general gaming Q: multiple dice vs. die+bonuses
 
(...) I'm not a numbers guy, so I can't really help with the mathematics, but from a purely physical point of view, I've always loved the idea of rolling more dice. It's fun to see an opponent's face when you starting picking up d6's, and they say (...) (17 years ago, 8-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
 
  Re: general gaming Q: multiple dice vs. die+bonuses
 
(...) Wow. I opened this thread expecting to defend the 1d6+A option, but Dave presents a convincing argument for the Ad6. Even with an opposing defense roll (with a defense value also 1-4), a ship with defense 1 would (with a 1-6 range) dodge once (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
 
  Re: space battle tactical game?
 
Hi Joe! (...) This sounds similar to Evil Stevie's Pirate Game (ESPG) which uses an 8-point compass plus rules about speed, turning, etc. based on ship size. While that is Age of Sail ships, I have thought of adapting it to a Space setting. (Well, (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
 
  Re: space battle tactical game?
 
(...) One Lego-specific thing I tried years ago when playing with the idea of microscale space combat, was to use one-stud-width plates to mark off the speed and direction of all the objects on the field. Plant one end of the plate on the object, (...) (17 years ago, 26-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming)
 
  Re: general gaming Q: multiple dice vs. die+bonuses
 
(...) Another difference is that there's a large variance in Ad6, and very little variance in 1d6+A. With A=4 (for instance) you get Ad6 resulting between 4 and 24, which is a huge range. With 1d6+A, you get between 5 and 10. For that reason, I'd (...) (17 years ago, 19-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
