I play Federation Commander from the same company. More streamlined. |

Yes I am still an avid SFB player. I looked at Fed Comm, bought the first set and tried it out. For fleet scale SSDs it lets you play slightly larger battles quicker, and it had some nice ideas to use (less impulses for example). As an inveterate Hydran player the step away from fighters in initial releases lost me personally, for obvious reasons. However, for big battles I actually go all the way to A Call to Arms: Starfleet because its better for big battles even than Fed Comm and for smaller ones I stay with SFB. As such, Fed Comm fell into a gap for me, not enough streamlining to allow the really big fleet actions but too much for one on ones. I also am aware that as an existing SFB player with much of the material that I am not the target market for FedComm either. I can see it attracting new players much much more and if someone slaps it down and reminds me of the difference between FedComm and SFB I will happily play but I keep de-orbiting back to SFB – so electronic things that I do not have the paper version of are very useful to me. |
