Yeah, but it’s a lot harder to cross. Like, I could build a shitty boat from wood myself. A spaceship? Not so much. Especially not if it’s actually supposed to leave this gravity well.

I’m just really looking forward to that optimistic feeling of looking into a bright future. It’s what I always loved trek for and from the looks of it, Resurgence captures it.

You know, the universe doesn’t offer much beyond that ship called the Enterprise… What could they possibly do?

Man, I’m just preaching to the choir here it seems, but yeah, Voyager as well.

Well, I didn’t know it, so I won’t ignore this post! You can’t tell me what to do!

What part of the story are you referring to? The part where he asked for port 22 or the part where he got it?

Love that game.

Hate that aspect ratio.

Yeah, it does have objectives. The one that got picked was very battle-centric though… And even if it hadn’t been, the objectives are usually not worth enough to offset a 130-points-lead (as vessel point values are usually counted towards victory points).

We had an objective in play that gave additional points to critical hits that were scored. Which, in turn, meant that withdrawing the ships would also keep those points from being scored. Using other objectives might turn out better though, we’ll have to pick better ones next time, I guess.

I do like the 6 round limit on general. It helps avoid an endgame where it’s clear who won but you still have to keep playing.

Ah man, this comment… 😅

I now also ordered the Separatists’ and Republic’s starter sets as well to get more dice and additional rulers as well as those ships for maybe some smaller games. They’re about 50 bucks each while dice and rulers seem to be unavailable and sell for about 20 each, if you can even find some. Man, I’m hyped for the stuff to arrive.

Hey! Thanks so much for the info! And wow, that was a great, in-depth reply!

I really don’t plan to play competitively… It’s really just to have some of those big dinghies on the field and a nice time with a friend or my son, so odd rating schemes on tournaments or competitive lists gravitating towards an optimum doesn’t really concern me. Yet. ;)

I would wager you will have a blast with what you’ve purchased.

Awesome! That’s what I needed to hear! Thank you! :) I am still concerned about the lack of rebel squadrons though… And it seems that the rebel units I got are worth about 400 pts in total (which is the standard play size if I understood that correctly), so I hope I won’t be annoyed by the lack of variety after a few matches. You saying it’ll be good gives me peace of mind for now though.

To be fair, I have kept spending money after I posted this and ordered a 6x3 neoprene mat with a fancy space image to have something to play on and I’m looking for some Armada dice sets which seem to be no longer available in Germany, which is probably going to annoy me terribly as online people seem to agree that more dice are kind of required. I learned that custom dice are expensive though, so I’ll just see how to deal with this.

With mouse wheels and touch screens everywhere, I can’t even remember the last time I wanted to drag a scroll bar. Even worse, I have faint memories of infinitely scrolling websites that just hated it when you dragged the scroll bar. What do you need that interaction for? I’m not judging, I’m just curious about the use case.

It’s not about having a sales tax applied to some or all goods or about how much that’d be. It’s about not listing the final price including the tax right until you’re supposed to pay for it. How dumb is that?

I don’t recall Apple making iMessage an optional messaging app you don’t have to use.

But… it is optional. Opt-out, sure, but optional nonetheless. I have disabled it on my work phone.
