I remember the Hydrans, Lyrans and most of all, the Andromedans(Kelvans). The Andromedan ships were lethal!

Awesome animation. Simple.

A squadron of three Alleycat DWs in formation was, for its BPV, a fun and flexible virtual capital ship. Nine disrupters (though shorter range) and six ESGs on more maneuverable hulls made adjustments to tactics both by the Lyran and the opponent necessary. When towing six total PFs you ended up with a lot of pieces on the board! :)

I gota ask, why is the Rommie banking to and fro like an aircraft? Shouldn't it just turn cuz it's in space?

Are you creating these? I want to get into creating my own animated movie. Not enough time in a day

nice job man

Here kitty kitty…..

Meanwhile over the coms the poor Hydran's are regaled with the constant taunting, "Does this bother you? I'm not ESG'ing you. I could, I totally could."

My two favourite races!

id even k what ist but looks gd

Your not just doing this for fun, you're up to something...🤔

Can these somehow be brought into Galactic Civilizations games?

Hydrans, my favourite.

nice again.

I might bot get it but i apprechiate your dedication to this and your channel! Is this a game or animation?

Fighters were always a tricky thing to defend against if you had no fighters of your own to counter them with. For me the best anti-fighter tactics I could come up with was (for Klingons, Kzinti, and Federation) to prepare a scatter pack (or two) as early as possible and hold them in reserve until the squadron came into a reasonable range. Playing my favorites, the Gorn, I would always keep one or more plasma torpedo launchers on a rolling delay that I could dump batteries into during the turn to let loose a plasma shotgun on approaching fighters. Wasn't as effective using Romulans since they typically had only one large launcher (Plasma-R) capable of being used as a plasma shotgun at the expense of not being able to bring the weapon's real power against the opponent's capital ship. Best thing to do with the Romulan against fighters was to cloak, fly at the squadron, and drop a T-Bomb or NSM in their path to catch as much of the squadron in the blast.

Twin Andros? I’d be running too.

You're making me want to play my Hydrans again.

This is the type of play software that SFB needs instead of SFB Online. All that is needed is counters and a map for remote play. SFB Online is much too cumbersome to actually attract new players who have enough to learn just to play the game.

I like this series you have going. Anyway you can educate us ignorant on the identity the race/class/ship/type etc.

super stuff

Love a bit of SFU animation.

Tholians vs Klingons?

It's been forever since I've seen my book and gaming stuff. Trying to remember the name of the Hydran ship classes. Is that a Hydran Ranger escorted by 3 Lancers?🤔

Nice. Love the Lyran ships.

Great animation. Love it. SFB and Federation Commander forever!

Just the stingers at range 1 will make for a bad day.

I am just getting started with SFBONLINE again. I haven't played in 10 years. I will be downloading it tonight.

My favorite Gorn ship is by far the Battle Destroyer Leader (BDL). That ship is so insanely optimized for its BPV.

Do Godsfire

I like to think of the Romulan disruptors on the TNG era to be some form of advanced plasma bolt, so effective as to make it the preferred firing mode over the seeking torpedo.

I LOVED the Romulan War Eagles (I thought they were called War Birds, but whatever.) I once played the Romulans in an epic campaign game where five guys participated, each one controlling one of the Empires. I got into a border war with the Federation, and the Fed commander smirked that his constellation class fleets would make short work of my ships. I said, "I wonder what your connies are going to look like after I launch 20 plasma torpedoes at your ships on the first turn?" He considered this for a while and then agreed to cede the border region. I then turned on the Gorn, but the game broke up at the end of the semester and we didn't restart the next year.

That Fed is playing terribly

Flying Kzintii allways carried afew slug drones to eat phasers

Best thing on Lyrans is most ships can do light mine clearing

Great vid. But is it me or does it appear the captain on the cover is right in the middle of saying "... this guy over here." in a thick New Jersey accent?

The Fed could have went to speed 4, and dropped a Decoy Shuttle and those Plasmas wouldv'e went after it...... leaving the Gorn vulnerable to an angry New Jersey with 6 photon torpedoes! And Heaven help him if he got into overload range with all 6 of them! So what if The Fed might have took feedback damage? The Gorn string fired his torps and the Fed let them hit his most important shields! He couldv'e Emer Decelerated and dropped a decoy, but that would have left him stationary for the rest of the turn.

So, you can kind of visualize the ESG as something like an energy field emitting from the ship (not a bubble-like shield but more like solar radiation coming from a star) that then collapses to a single point when it interacts with something?

It may be late in 2023 but there's still interest in sfb. Thanks for making some great content. RUclips needs more sfb videos out in the wild.

My goto ship was the Dragoon and favorite fighter, the Stinger III

I really like your take on the 3rd Generation Romulan Hawk ships. It seems a logical progression from the 1st Gereneration. Using the Warbird style hull with upgraded engines and weapone with standardized booms added to the front of the hull is such an elegant solution and makes so much sense.

I played SFBOL back in 2001. I see it is still a painful UI experience 20 years later! Thankfully we have Starfleet Command (specifically SFCOP 2.564) to play the game sanely nowadays.

Classic SFB is always a treat.

Well done! Please consider revisiting.

I played an Orion CR one with mine racks in the wing option mounts - a risky gamble. I got my opponent to follow me , then he took 2 NSMs in rapid succession in the face .

I love this manual, I actually learned a lot from it.

I have been binge watching. I really enjoy our content. Thank you for all your work you put into these. SFB is probably my favorite game of all time though it has been decades since I have played. Take care.

Honestly I have never been impressed by . The kazinty ships . They are clumsy on the turn . And if your tactics are good vrs drones they are doomed to loose

Miss playing SFB 😪

Thanks for this, I'm waiting to get the Master Rulebook, and I really like the Lyran ships
