After waiting months for a really working iPad 2 jailbreak I have to say, tons of things have happened, from the original developers of many other jailbreaks giving some hopes to the public, to companies that offer a professional jailbreak installation support.
The first iPad 2 jailbreak was confirmed some few days after the official iPad 2 release. I have some business and studies in marketing and I totally understand that these developers don't think and they dont need to think in marketing strategies, but to be honest the only winners were the bloggers making money in advertising fees with the famous released pictures that featured a white iPad 2 running Cydia.
Some days after the vulnerability had been fixed for the 4.3.2 iOS update which caused a lot of controversy, mainly because there are still some exploits that jailbreak apps need which haven't been fixed even after several iOS updates.
Things have gone like this since March 2011, nevertheless in May 2011 some important things have happened. First, an announce from one of the most important jailbreak developers caused a big controversy when the developer codenamed his jailbreak "elevator" while he tried to create confusion to the people who had been trying to decipher his tweets, later he reacted to hundreds of blogs interpreting his words "elevator" and "stairs" as codenames for his iPad 2 jailbreak apps, one paid the another one free.
His reaction caused probably even more confusion, when he stated that there's no such jailbreak and he doesn't even have an iPad 2, later he tweeted about making public his "elevator" on a hackers convention.
The truth is the iPad 2 jailbreak is NOT a scam, legit? we don't know, they might be working. Companies that offer an iPad 2 Jailbreak? some, like jaiPhone that has offered jailbreak support for beginners in the past.
This leadreview snippet remains open.

Detailed Description:
Term infants with respiratory failure and persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) are among the most critically ill infants in the NICU, with significant mortality and morbidity reported even for infants with moderate disease. Currently, management is largely supportive, and includes oxygen, mechanical ventilation (conventional or high frequency ventilation), and exogenous surfactant therapy. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a pulmonary vasodilator that was approved for the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF) and PPHN of the newborn in 1999 based on clinical trials showing a reduction in the need for rescue treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
One promising therapy to decrease pulmonary arterial pressure and improve oxygenation is sildenafil. Sildenafil is a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor that causes relatively selective pulmonary vasodilation. The use of intravenous (IV) sildenafil was recently FDA approved for use in adults in PPHN. A pilot trial studying dose response and pharmacokinetics in 36 term newborns with PPHN found that IV sildenafil was well tolerated and has the potential to induce marked improvements in oxygenation. The data from this pilot trial provided background to support the dosing regimen for this Phase II trial. We hypothesize that IV sildenafil will acutely reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve oxygenation in near-term and term infants with PPHN, thus reducing the need for rescue therapy iNO and/or ECMO.

If you want an easier upramp in your gearing up time i would recommend a druid and a plate user since thoose wont be "stealing" eachothers loot.
I was not quite sure if I should put this thread in here or into some general/strategy subforum, but I'm afraid that this question might be too "nooby", so I decided for this subforum :-)
Situation is, a few friends of mine and me are planning to do some raids. Nothing fancy since most people in the group have no raid experience, but still my tankfriend and me (I'm a tank as well) expect to shoulder a lot of additional burden (I see lots of Lay-on-hands/battlerezzes in action already *g*). So we want to have the best tank combination possible.
Now I have a paladin and a dk, and my friend has a paladin and a warrior. We were discussing which combination would be favorable for our raid, and to our astonishment it seems that going pala/pala tanks has the most advantages. Intuitively, we thought that having 2 different tank classes would be better, but that seems not quite the case.
I mean, we have another dk in our group, so he can use horn of winter and battlerez. Except from that we see no real reason for a dk tank - even for magic damage spikes paladins could use ardent defender.
The only real advantages of the warrior would be intercept and the raid+20%hp cd. The first one can be substituted with hand of protection, the second one with the raid bubble.
Aside from that, using two palas seems to have lots of synergy ... we could chain not only hand of salvation, but lay-on-hand two people in the raid, hand of protection, hand of freedom, use hand of sacrifice on each other and so on. Using two raidbubbles in a row seems to be huge as well. Also, two auras!
True, we would be missing charge and deathgrip, but are those really that important in boss fights?
Now, my question is, is there an error in our thinking? If so, where is it? We are sceptical to believe that paladins have so much more to offer than warrior and dks that it would be favorable to use two paladin tanks in a raid. If this was the situation, everyone would do that, no? So please tell me, where did we go wrong? Should one of us give up is paladin to play dk or warrior?
PS.: Bear is out of question because 1) neither of us has one and 2) we don't like to play the class. Just personal preference. No offense druids!^^
Thanks in advance,

Wow that was a fast reply. Thanks^^
It's just that neither of us want to play a bear. Just personal preference, so we would be willing to sacrifice druid utility and gear advantages for our personal happiness. The choice stand between dk / two pally / warrior.
Warriors got a LOT of moveability, charge, leap, intervene. Thoose can be quite handy at nearly every single fight imo.
other things to take into account for warrior tank.
sunders (increased melee damage)
demo shout, reduced boss damage
intervene (hard to use but can reduce your other tanks incoming damage)
vigilance (unlimited taunts...handy on beth for pulling down spinners) + vengence stacks
mobility (shannox rip limb tank getting away while stacks drop off plus other fights)
Don't forget that warriors also have vigilence. Unlimited taunts can be very powerful. Makes some of the mechanics like beth'tilac so much easier. My recommendation would be pally/warrior or pally/pally.
In the end, at the level of expierence you suggested, any combo that you play best and enjoy playing will be most effective. 10 man is more sensitive to comp issues but not usually make or break.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
I (pally) tank aside with a warrior and, though we have to share the few drops blizz ocasionaly drops us (finally had the dumb shield drop for the first time ever yesterday on heroic baleroc), i think its great. As mentioned above, warriors movementation can be a real asset (I would hate to have to run around with the dog to reset stacks on shannox - our warrior takes the dog and just does a leap+intervine combo to give him enough distance for a nice slow time to get back to the spear).
you can actauly down everything with any combination of tanks, so nothing you do will be "wrong". Just having 2 of the same class seems terribly lame (i wouldent like it much).
I'm in a pure 10-man guild and have been for a few years now, so I think I have seen my far share of tank combos. Personally, I'm one them healers ).
My favourite tank combo would be the pally / dk one, but you need to remember that it's all about the raid composition, not just what you two tanks bring.
Whats' your healing team going to look like? Holy paladins are pretty solid for tank healing, so if you can muster one of them, then you won't need 2 pally tanks for the auras. Getting a druid or a holy priest for raid healing will give you nice cover of raid healing, and the druid will bring Gift of the Wild which equals the Kings buff (not the aura though, but that can be gotten from the holy paladin).
Think of the entire raid composition when deciding on who to bring basically.
As an example, our raid setup normally looks like this:
I know there are hundreds of different setups that are viable, and I'm in no way trying to say that our setup is better than any other, but I want you to remember that a raid composition has to take all classes/roles into consideration for it to be possible to say what will be best for you. We even had to replace our paladin tank on our last Ragnaros kill, two days ago, with a warrior, and that combo worked quite nice there as well (warr/dk).
- tanks: Dk and Paladin - paladin quite often on boss and dk on adds, or even going dps if it's a 1-tank fight.
- healers: disc priest, holy paladin, resto druid - priest and paladin on one tank each and assisting on raid with druid focusing on raid. Some fights being more aoe intensive makes the paladin pretty much solo on the tanks with me (priest) going nuts on aoe healing as well. Coordinate raid cooldowns for the win
- melee: rogue and feral druid - this varies with a shammy or a warrior instead of the druid occasionally
- range: arcane mage, affliction warlock and most often a balance druid, but sometimes a hunter instead - gives us a balance of strong single-target dps and aoe.
Best of luck starting to raid, and remember to have fun and enjoy the game - raiding with friends is the best and is really what's keeping me in this game
officer and former gm of Betrayed @ Zenedar-EU
Honestly I don't have much experience with the current raid content, I just raided a lot in ICC and can't remember a boss where charge/intercept etc. would have been critically important. There was plenty of time to run anywhere "manually". Instead, I do remember I loved the paladin running speed when kiting the oozes (can't remember if it was festergut or rotface, but you guys sure know what I mean). If the high mobility of warriors is really helpful in the current content (and not just situational gimmick like, say, nitro boosts) we will definitely take this into consideration. Thank you!
Regarding the buffs/debuffs and raid composition, we did try to figure out what we would gain and lose with every tank composition. We know we will have, among others, an enhancement shaman and a dps dk, and also warlock and a holy priest.
What we figured was that the (tanking) death knight has no more buffs or debuffs than the dps dk, so we "scratched" him. If this was an error, please say so.
The warrior has:
- Commanding shout: We have priest fortitude
- Battle shout: Dk Horn
However, I think we really missed some of the features woodyman mentioned, we will reevaluate them and see if others in our raid can bring those buffs/debuffs. Completely forgot that there are raidcomp tools for things like that *sigh noob*
Oh, and we actually don't really know if we will have a holy paladin. Of couse we would not need 2 pallytanks for 2 auras than, but IF (and only if) our assumption was right that neither warriors nor dks would bring any buff/debuff or utility into our raid, it would seem to be still viable to have 3 paladins (LOTS of lay on hands *g*). Don't know why, paladin utility just seems overwhelming to me^^
So, assuming there are no debuffs/buffs to make one tank comp more viable than the other, we would have to choose between pally utility and warrior mobility. Dk seems not to have any high value? I'll read the boss guides for the current raids as well to see if mobility really matters (it seems it does, I didn't know :-)) Thank you all!

If neither of you wants to play a druid and you already covered all important (de)buffs i'd go double paladin. They offer the largest toolset combined with the best raidcooldown and reach unhittable rather easily. Altough the advantage of bubble/hand of protection has been greatly reduced during firelands compared to t11 content there are still some uses on bossfights, add Lay on Hands, two taunts on a short timer (equally good to a warriors vigilance) and sacrifice and you're set. And you can drop all healing/damaging druid/paladin and still offer kings/might, bring two auras for your raid (eg covering armor and resistance).
- no aoe thunderclap/demoshout a druid (limited), warrior or dk (both unlimited) could provide (interesting for multi adds fights)
- two sword/shield wearer instead of one + twohander (dk/druid) = more competition for the same loot. Sadly we still only have one tankshield and one tanksword drop after 16 Ids of raiding firelands on our mains.
- two more competitors for the conqueror token, depending on your raidcomp this is something you might want to consider
- depending on drops you might have to wear a skirt for a little while
Blood brings +10%AP, -10 physical damage taken and potentially some raid healing with Blood worms/GoRunetap
Frost brings +4% physical damage done and +10% melee haste
Unholy Brings +8% spell Damage
All warriors bring +str&agility or +stam, melee dehaste, -10% physical damage, and rallying cry
Arms Brings +4%physical damage, and +30%bleed damage, -10%healing taken
Fury Brings +5 critical strike chance
Prot brings er
Neither Pallies nor warriors bring many extra buffs/debuffs for the raid in their tanking spec over there DPS specs, Pallie tanks bring Raid wall against the prot warriors Disarm/spell reflect/ease of getting the tanking debuffs up on multiple mobs at once.
Shannox - pally On boss, dk On riplimb. Mainly historical reasons.
Beth - dk On boss in P1, pally stays down.
Rhyolith - both On adds. Yes, We're doing this with 2 tanks still.
Alys - both On adds. Pally likes to tank in ground phase.
Baleroc - dk takes decimation. Pally has smoother incoming damage easing our healing. Might change this to see What happens.
Domo - pally tanks. Dk has dps offspec.
Rag - 2 tanks. Pally starts.
trash - tanks divide as they see fit. often cleared with only partly filled raid for rep on alts etc.

This can be counteracted by a MM Hunter (Trueshot Aura, 10% AP) or a BM Hunter (Which is surprisingly good and supplies 3% Damage buff) with a Corehound pet (Ancient Hysteria = Heroism).
Gearing Issues:
Obviously the enhancer and hunter would fight for gear as much as two plate tanks, with the DK possibly taking weapons your plate DPS would upgrade from.
Suddenly I'm glad I'm not a RL in this xpac. LOL
We have been using a warrior and a paladin as tanks in ten mans since Naxxramas in Wrath (with brief forays into deathknight and druid tanking in ICC).

Some tips on healthcare when travelling to Ireland
Ireland has great healthcare, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you go. If you're bringing medicines with you into Ireland, carry them in their original, clearly labelled container, along with your prescription or a letter from your doctor.
It's a rule of thumb that anything over a three-month supply of medicine will be questioned and any "controlled drugs" as well as any syringes or needles, should be declared and explained in a letter from your doctor.
There are plenty of pharmacies in Ireland, and they are a good first stop for travellers seeking medical advice or a local referral. Most towns have one or two pharmacies and urban areas have many. Pharmacies generally operate from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, but many pharmacies in urban areas open late and on weekends.
Bring a spare pair of glasses or contact lenses with you and your optical prescription just in case. Make sure that your travel insurance has medical cover. If you're a member of the 27 EU countries or Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, bring a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which covers you for most medical care.
Just as with most of western Europe, there are no vaccinations required to visit Ireland.

text: First of all, heroics aren't the best place to analyze stats like this because raid bosses require a higher cap than your normal heroic 5 mans. 8% hit and 26 expertise are the cap, though the need for reaching 8% hit isn't great enough to be gemming hit. You shouldn't be gemming for 20 hit and only use hybrid hit/gems if the socket bonus is 9 stam (if you feel you really need the hit), otherwise 30 stam is better. I'm not positive but I don't think you can ever prevent glancing blows. There is no cap on strength and I don't know why they would be gemming for strength except for more threat, but it shouldn't be necessary. Seal of Command is great for trash and aoe tanking but Seal of Vengeance/Corruption is for single target. At the very least grab the glyph for sensing undead for 2% more damage, but I don't see a reason not to have the lay on hands glyph as well. If you do a lot of ICC tanking I would take some points out of Conviction and put them in Crusade. I would swap out your Judgement glyph for Divine Plea, and the taunt glyph is only great for bosses that require taunt rotations/tank swaps. I would fill it with either Hammer of the Righteous or Salvation if you want another CD to use.

World War II in Color: American Bombers and Their Crews, 1942
Within weeks of the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and America's official entry into the Second World War, Allied forces in Europe activated the now-legendary VIII Bomber Command (often referred to as the Eighth Air Force) to serve as the principal American force to attack Germany from the air. Often in tandem with planes from the Royal Air Force, American B-24s and B-17s — or Flying Fortresses — from the "The Mighty 8th" would spend the next several years bombing strategic towns and cities in Nazi-held Europe.
As a jumping off point for countless bombing runs, including many in broad daylight, the United States Army Air Forces (the predecessor of the U.S. Air Force) set up bases in England during the war. In 1942, LIFE's Margaret Bourke-White spent time with the Bomber Command — an assignment that LIFE shared with its readers in an October 1942 feature notable, although hardly surprising, all these years later for its triumphant tone:
The most potent U.S. force to hit the Nazis so far in this war is the Bomber Command, stationed in England. Operating Flying Fortresses, it is making attacks on German-occupied Europe as frequently as weather and operating conditions permit. To date, all the raids have been tremendously successful. From 25,000 feet, it has given a superb exhibition of precision bombing by hitting German factories, airfields, ships and oil refineries on the nose. In two months of operations, it has shot down more than 100 German fighters, lost less than six of its own bombers.
[NOTE: As the war dragged on, the bombers and their crews out of England would, inevitably, face steeper and more dramatic losses. On October 14, 1943, for example — "Black Thursday" — nearly 600 crew members and 60 Flying Fortresses were lost in a single raid against a ball-bearing factory in Schweinfurt, Germany.]
To photograph Bomber Command, LIFE sent photographer Margaret Bourke-White to the headquarters of Brigadier general Ira. C. Eaker, commander in chief of Bomber Command, and to one of the secret airfields from which the Flying Fortresses operate…. Miss Bourke-White's pictures arrived in the U.S. just when the Bomber Command was making its biggest sorties. Flying Fortresses roared out over the Channel and attacked German industries in the Lille region. Another group of six Fortresses a few days before dropped 600-lb. bombs directly on the German airfield at St. Omer, France. On the way home they were attached by 35 crack Nazi pursuits. When the brief fight was over, at least 13 Germans were plunging earthward and the six Fortresses were sailing on. Another time a Fortress came back t England with one motor shot away, one disabled, a third missing badly, and with 12 cannon holes and 2,000 machine-gun holes in the fuselage. Still other squadrons of Fortresses scored better than 70 percent hits in their first two weeks of bombing operations over Europe. "Fantastic accuracy," said the British.
Bomber Command was ready. It was confident that although still small, it would grow and grow, and as it grew, the intensity and terribleness of the attack on Germany would grow with it, until he skies of Europe would be blacked and its earth furrowed with American bombs.
Bourke-White, one of LIFE magazine's original four staff photographers, was America's first accredited woman photographer during WWII, and the first authorized to fly on a combat mission. For decades she covered conflicts, civil wars, humanitarian crises and natural disasters. She documented segregation in the American South, was the last person to interview Gandhi before he was assassinated, was one of the first photographers to document the liberation of Nazi death camps and survived a torpedo attack while traveling by ship to North Africa in 1943 and was briefly married to the American writer Erskine Caldwell (God's Little Acre, Tobacco Road). Widely recognized as one of the greatest photojournalists of the 20th century, she died in 1971. She was 67 years old.

It's certainly puzzling, if not downright peculiar. That's the feeling one gets after studying the notice of inquiry (NOI) that FERC launched late last year, after nearly 10 years of dragging its...
Transmission Incentive Overhaul
FERC's ROE incentive adder policy sends the wrong signals.
at least not without a searching inquiry into whether the need for a large investment could have been avoided through steadier, incremental investments. Absent such an inquiry, a policy favoring enhanced, incentive ROEs for large projects encourages transmission owners to manufacture crises needing big solutions and perhaps to short-change what should be routine activities. Unfortunately, FERC has exacerbated this problem by rejecting assertions that current needs have resulted from past under-investment, for which a transmission owner ought not to be rewarded, and concluding instead that the timeliness of an investment response is irrelevant. 22 A timeliness requirement should be established.
Where the scope of the project for which an incentive ROE is sought appears to be a function of past under-investment, the commission should seek to eliminate the immediate disincentives to fixing the problems created by past under-investment, but without rewarding that behavior or encouraging similarly dilatory behavior going forward. Thus, in such situations, the commission may include 100 percent of CWIP in rate base (thereby bolstering cash flow during construction), and may provide abandoned-plant protection (thereby ensuring against a risk of loss in case the project is canceled for reasons beyond the applicant's control), but should deny ROE adders for projects that merely make up for past under-investment leading to imminent reliability violations. Moreover, to ensure that internal capital goes where it's needed, FERC should deny ROE adders for other projects by the same applicant until its transmission system is brought up to a reasonable baseline reliability level.
More generally, linking higher ROEs to the magnitude of proposed transmission projects may hit consumers with a quadruple punch. First, large investments result in large depreciation expenses. Second, linking higher ROEs to the magnitude of investment produces non-linear increases in the ROE component of transmission rates, as additional investment increases both rate base and the rate of return applied to rate base. Third, linking higher ROEs to the magnitude of project costs encourages inflated cost estimates (justifying higher ROEs) and the incurrence of actual cost over-runs (which inflate rate base, subject only to notoriously difficult-to-mount prudence challenges). Fourth, widespread reliance on incentive ROEs for large transmission projects creates a feedback loop that threatens to increase base ROEs. In Order No. 679-A (P 62), FERC "reject[ed] the contentions of certain customer groups that incentive ROEs [would] 'destabilize' the DCF methodology," finding that "any incentive ROEs granted under 219 should have a minimal effect," because "the 'cash flows' being measured in the DCF method are the cash flows of entire companies," which "should not be significantly affected by an incentive return for any particular transmission project." But projects like the Maine Power Reliability Project, which will increase CMP's plant in service six-fold, contradict that assumption, and reliance on project size to justify higher ROEs simply magnifies that feedback problem.
Finally, in acting on incentive-rate applications, FERC nominally considers whether a proposed project would improve reliability or reduce congestion. What major transmission project would fail to accomplish one or the other, if not both? But thus far it's refused to inquire into whether the project would

Just when you'd almost forgotten about Google TV, it comes back. Hisense USA has announced a set-top box that will bring Android-based web streaming functionality to current TVs.
Hisense will be introducing its Hisense Pulse with Google TV box at the IFA show in Germany, which starts Friday, Aug. 31, 2012 and will make it available in mid-November for $99. That's a familiar price point to fans of Apple TV, Vizio's Co-Star (also supplying Google TV) and the Roku streaming player that have been among those vying for the set-top box marketshare. Google TV is also currently available in an LG TV and a Sony set-top- box.
Like the Vizio Google TV box, the Pulse offers a dual-sided remote with a keypad, plus a touchpad and dedicated Netflix button.
The 4.5 square x 1.4 inch tall box weighs just 1.5 pounds and includes HDMI, Ethernet and USB ports plus built-in Wi-Fi, so you won't have to worry about having an Ethernet port near every TV that gets a Hisense Pulse box.
Hisense says the device supports screen resolutions and formats from 480i up to 1080p, as well as H.264, MPEG-4 and AVC.
The unit serves up all the Google TV fixings, like Chrome for web surfing, Google Play, Search, TV and Movies, and YouTube to help viewers sort and surf through the millions of online streaming content, as well as searching across live TV, apps (available through Google Play), and the home network.
Viewers can also employ the picture-in-picture and picture-outside-picture functions to multitask between viewing, surfing and social networking.
"This box effectively bridges the gap to the latest in home entertainment, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades," says JoAnne Foist, director of marketing at Hisense USA. "Most people have at least one HDTV in their home and with the addition of a Hisense Pulse with Google TV, we offer the liberty of accessing not just TV, but a host of streaming content, web surfing and TV apps (such as Pandora Radio, CNNMoney, Motor Trend, and Thuuz) that are available in Google Play."Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

I have to save up for this, but I'm really excited. I didn't realize when I first started buying and downloading content from e23 that you would get emails to let you know when the most recent version is available...for free! How cool is that.
It's truly the gift that keeps giving.

I've been interested in this, but it would probably replace work I've already done. I painstakingly scanned my 1991 vintage rulebooks into a single PDF along these lines (and then reprinted it in a single 1" binder, four pages on a sheet- superportable). I'd buy it if it's enough of an improvement.
1. Is there enough difference between 1991 and 2010 basic set/advanced/c-j-k-r-x module rules to be worth 50 dollars (is errata available elsewhere?)
2. Is the PDF printable?
3. Is it searchable?
4. Are there internal links?
5. What are the copy protections (I'd want to have a copy on my computer and one in my iPhone)?
6. Is it locked? Could I go back and edit it or link pages, etc?

1. A judgement call. I like the improvements and extra illustrations, personally.
2. Yes.
3. Yes... quite.
4. No.
5. None, nada, zip! [Steve Jackson's no DRM policy; yea!]
6. If you can do it to a PDF, you can do it to this. (I have made minor changes to mine successfully.)
Being able to search it is just plain awesome. Being able to look up a rule *anywhere* is awesome. (There's no download limit anywhere, so it you are at a computer, you can get to the rules!)

SFB Module C3A is now available on both e23 and our storefront.
Most SFB players do not realize that it was not until the Andromedans were defeated that Star Fleet finally figured out who they were, where they came from, and what they wanted. Four decades of battles against the Andromedans were based on battle reports, guesses, calculations, estimations, and (it was said) a Ouija Board. Star Fleet Intelligence (not to mention the intelligence services of other empires) was constantly issuing new guesses as to what Andromedan ships were in service and what new ones could be expected in the near future. Star Fleet Intelligence assumed that since other empires had improved their fleets with refits, new designs, old hulls expanded with new sections, alternative weapons, fighters, bombers, gunboats, and even X-technology, that the Andromedans would also make the same innovations.
This book includes a collection of these guesses, predictions, estimations, and extrapolations, presented as rules for new weapons and sixty new ship designs. It also includes the alternative timeline discovered by the Darwin, and the historical campaign by which the Andromedans destroyed the Lyran Democratic Republic.
If you buy this through e23, please don't forget to rate it!
I hope you enjoy this book. It was fun to proofread, but a bit scary at the same time.

Within the Lyran Far Stars Duchy is one of the also-rans of history: the Peladine Republic. Just as they were about to expand from their home system, the Lyrans conquered them. While they never became a power, their ships and technology were entered into the Lyran databases and used to train Lyran naval officers how to deal with the unexpected: in this case, ships armed not just with drones, but with plasma torpedoes which were immune to ESGs. This playtest pack presents the Peladine Republic making them available for testing under the Star Fleet Battles game system.
Included here are SSDs for 64 ships, from the police corvette to the battleship and four advanced technology ships. Conversion data for all generic units (starbases, monitors, etc.) are provided. Also provided are fast patrol ships, interceptors, fighters, and bombers to fully integrate the Peladine Republic as a campaign capable empire. Also included are a complete set of annexes, all in a 110-page book.
This is a playtest product; the empire needs testing. Reports should be sent to ADB, Inc. at
, for use in developing a formal product. Some "art" is not included in this playtest package.

I keep getting a 404 when I try and access this page.
Sorry... was really looking forward to picking this one up, even though I have all the ships from when the old site was up.
I've always liked this rather unique combination of weapons.
Any chance that the Peladine will be coming to FedCom soon?

The Omega Master Rulebook is now on e23:
Young Warrior! You think you know Star Fleet Battles, with all of its tactical twists and turns. But you do not! To truly understand the game, you must understand all of the game, including the ships, empires, history, weapons,and tactics of the wild and unpredictable Omega Octant! Only then can you truly know Star Fleet Battles.
And to truly know the Omega Octant, you need this rulebook, which includes:
Every rule, chart, scenario, and ship description from all five Omega Modules.
PLUS an extensive Omega tactics section.
PLUS an updated Sequence of Play listing, including the entire Alpha Octant,the Simulators, and the Magellanic Cloud.
PLUS completely updated Annexes and new Master Ship, PF, and Fighter Charts.
PLUS all ship descriptions, rules, weapons, and scenarios for the Omega Octant that were published in Captain's Log.
PLUS the "lost" history section originally written for Module Omega Four.
PLUS each carrier as needed has an updated Escorts and Fighters Table.
This product is an updated rulebook for the five Omega Octant Modules of STAR FLEET BATTLES. You must have SFB Basic Set and the SSD books and counters from the Omega modules to use this material. Some material will also require Advanced Missions and other modules.
