Very nice.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

To be honest, I really don't like the X-wing game, it would have to be FFoL Starfighters for me 

Seconded. Starfighters works really well with the X-Wing miniatures.

I didn't even know that FFOL had a Starfighter game...shame they don't have one to replace Star Wars Armada as well

{goes off to buy FFOL Straighter}

It's got a fleet expansion in the back

Even better

I read about that, but as I understand it, it scales the whole game up, with single fighters becoming squadrons etc. Ideally, I'd have a rules set that could do individual fighters ánd capital ships in the same game.

Because I have a bunch of corvette-class ships for X-Wing that I would love to use as intended. Would FFoL Starfighters accomodate this?

[OSHIROmodels]

It would as you can ‘build’ larger ships in starfighter scale. There are larger ship examples in the book but it’s a toolbox at the end of the day and you can pretty much do what you want. I certainly intend to 

[DalyDR]

What an excellent ship.  Wonderful details on that!

Agreed, I prefer Starfighters too.

James has dented my credit card this week already ... and now I've ordered FFOL Starfighters as well... happy everyone? 

[Pattus Magnus]

I’m sure your vendor of FFoL goodness is pleased!

I have the Starfighter rules but haven’t played yet. If they work like the stompy robot rules, they will give a fun game with lots of decisions to make about how to use your hand of cards to get the best out of your spacecraft while carrying out the mission.

I love the scratch built fighter, too, by the way - great painting and the level of surface detailing is beautiful!

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again 

Here we have the might of the Corporate Authority on Nevarro. Haven't got names for them all yet and I've still got a couple of riot troopers to do with shields and batons. There are two specialists on either side armed with sniper rifle, heavy blaster, missile launcher and a mazer (like a radiation gun that ignores cover).

Yes, very tactical but very cinematic at the same time.

Thirded. The included pregenerated profiles help with speeding up time to play.

Reminds me, I must get around to someday using it for Star Trek.

[Silent Invader]

Well they look smart and officious but are they effective?

[Malamute]

Hmmm, don't think their track records demonstrates effectiveness

They sure look mighty pretty, but I would not describe them as "The might of the Corporate Authority"
