 February 2, 2018 - 9:53pm | In some ways KHs lends itself to a BSG campiagn. Ag ship could fleed the fleet. mining ship with digger shuttles could mine water from comet for the ion ships. jump tug could be used to save atomic fuel with assault scouts and save on overhauls for their engines. 4-6 frieghters could have a wide variety of supplies several large star liners (2) would have bulk of the population Almost have to have a carrier for this I would want to make its fighter compliment 24 not 12 and it might as well be a big sucker type C engines Civilian leader in a yacht Star Law prisoner transport ship with prisoners on board of course corporate privateers 1-2 Atomic fuel is going to be a problem and spare ammo but the visit to Ragnar Anchorage in Season one of the new BSG points the way to solving that at least for awhile. Plotting void jumps will not be the spur of the moment thing as in BSG unless we modify the rules. Need factions and traitors but no one named Baltar. And where are they going? Earth? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Plenty of star ships in and out of Clarion station so 2-3 mining ships, 2-12 frieghters, 1-2 ag ships 1 research vessel, jump tug and two assault scouts to start. rest of the Royal Marines and the UPF contingent in White Light system go down swinging. and this fleet flees. Headed for Moon World the secret Space Fleet base (Ragnar Anchorage). Thats White Light to Theseus to Lynchpin, two jumps circumstances could force them to Timeon where they discover Task Force Prengular has been destroyed by the sathar/mechanon/zuraquor coalition. They must flee to Gan Gal where they worms follow but they pic up some more ships- the corporate privateers. before on to Gruna Garu where they pick up more a couple of more ships with yazirian refugees. and from there they can jump to Lynchpin and moon world. At Moon World they learn from a sub space broadcast that the King of Clarion is dead and the daughter is proclaimed Queen. Space Fleet is organizing a counter offensive even though all Space Fleet task forces and strike forces are now so much wreckage and orders the privateer and militia ships join its order of battle. Leaving the rag tag civilian fleet to fend for itself. The Queen is not having that realizes that there is a old carrier in mothballs that has no fighters or engines and gets her people working on mounting the type C ion drives carried by one of his frighters on it. the next issue is securing fighters for it and crew. and getting her two assault scouts back from being commandeered for Space Fleet.

February 2, 2018 - 10:30pm | Not sure about the above post. How to arrange for a carrier to be the lead ship? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 2, 2018 - 10:43pm | Maybe the Princess stooges around in the outer area of White Light system collecting a rag tag fleet. She has two or one assault scouts at here command. They have to fly some combat mission and perhaps have a AD style action on Planaron station recovering the atomic fuel vault there but the Zuraquor have stormed the asteroid station. so running battles in side. The assault scout flees Planaron with the atomic fuel vault and the fleet is almost ready to depart when the last remaining ship of Strike Force Nova, the assault carrier, shows up severely damaged and low on fighters. By this time World after world has been nuked by the sathar and mechanons. and they are running rampant in the Frontier. They must make for Lynchpin and the secret UPF base there. for restock and supply. They admiral there will try to commandeer every fighting ship for a futile counter attack. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
