Star Trek: Renegades

[mirth]

I still want to grope whores and touch myself randomly throughout the day. There's really no difference between teenage men and senior citizen men, apparently.

Slightly better decision making as an old man. Until senility sets in. Then no difference, but you get more of a pass on the behavior.

I'm so old, I remember grease pencils and plastic folders.

I still have all of those.

^Geezer!

[Centurion40]

You're not old. I remember SFB well. I hated that game because the one friend that wanted to always play it, always wanted to play the Gorn with their tracking plasma torpedoes o' death.

Methinks that we might know the same people.  Did you know the Kzinti "Bore You to Death by Drones" dude too?

That guy was such a pussy!

[BanzaiCat]

I never played with Kzinti. I think I almost always did Klingon or Fed ships. My friend got the Andromedan expansion once and we tried that, but those ships were even more insane.

Me too! In fact I think I still have my copy of the game...somewhere.

It doesn't look like the one below does it (like mine)? If so, you could be a geezer too.  ;D

[Nefaro]

Oh, the SSDs are still similar.   But the amount of game phases have been cut down in Federation Commander and some of the less important time-wasting mechanics removed (like ECM/ECCM).  Still the same mechanics, just pared down to a more reasonable level.  ;)  You also don't have to plot much at the start of the turn, other than base speed, leaving many power allocation decisions to be done during the 8 impulses.

Also has two different scales to make playing larger fleet actions take less time.  This SSD is the regular Squadron scale, Fleet scale is approximately half the amount of boxes, weapons, etc.







Note:  This is a "Middle Years" era CA so it doesn't have tertiary armaments such as Ph-3s and Drone racks, like others do.

Admiral Pavel Chekov. Just like he answered Kirk in Star Trek IV.  O0

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up!

[mirth]

That was not very good. I gave up after 30 minutes.

[Staggerwing]

The story was pretty lame but I still enjoyed watching some of the more seasoned actors work with what they had. TBH, the whole thing was not as bad as some of the weaker offerings from TNG or Voyager.

[mirth]

Too many cliched lines and story tropes. The VFX were okay and yes, the veteran actors were good. I just couldn't take watching them in the same scenes with the fanfic wannabees. The premise is solid, but it didn't deliver. Here's hoping Axanar is better.

[Pinetree]

Wasn't too impressed with Renegades. Prelude to Axanar, however, I've watched twice. The acting was top-notch and it had a very gritty feel to it. Hopefully the full film is just as good.
