Federation Space Scenaio idea.

DavidG · #1 October 5th, 2003, 10:11 PM

Anyone remember the old Task Force board game Federation Space? Would anyone be interested in having this turned into an SE4 scenario?
I've been working on this the Last couple weeks (well the map part anyway) and I'm just curious whether I'm doing this for myself or if anyone else would want to play it (if I ever get it done).

Federation Space!? A great idea for a recycling project. Now, if someone would just come out with a classic SFB mod with shipsets...

Yep. Some friends and I had a meta-campaign of Federation Space and SFB going on for a few years. Fun stuff. The SFB mod would be the hard part (a lot of work), if you were going to try that part.

There is a Kzinti shipset (at State of the Art Spaceyards) that basically looks like the old SFB Kzintis. There was also an incomplete SFB Gorn shipset posted somewhere too.

I once owned a copy of FedSpace - couldn't get anyone to play it, though. Too big and convoluted (the "twitch factor" was already kicking in back then...)

EDIT - That's it! First thing when I get home, I pin on my second bar...

Yea the Kzinti ship set is called the Mirak. I think one of the computer Versions of SFB changed the name for copyright reasons so this set matches that. I also found a ship set that is close enough to the Hydrans for my liking.

I don't intend to recreate all the weapons and stuff in SFB. I plan to make this scenario work the the Star Trek Mod although I will use the old federation ship set. I don't want to change the data files too much but I think will have to add some stuff for the Kzini and hydrans. At the very least I will have to find a way to make fighters more usefull.

Excellent. The more STMod races, the better. I was toying with the idea of writing up the Kzintis myself, but if you're going to do it so much the better.

BTW, which shipset are you using for the Hydrans?
