Post subject: Scenario: Save the conference, kill the protagonist.
The thread about a scenario for the Kirk vs Chang fight at the end of the star trek 6 film got me thinking about how I would try to make that an FC scenario. I've put this as a seperate thread, rather than hijack Enterprises thread. This isn't meant to me an exact replica of that battle, more using the film battle as an inspiration.
Fed CA vs the protagonist. The captain of the CA has discovered that a high powered diplomatic conference is going to be sabotaged by various forces who do not want to see success. He rushes to the scene to prevent the assasins from succeeding. He also knows that a new prototype cloaked ship will almost certainly be around the planet to stop him. The exact capabilities of the enemy ship are not fully known, beyond that fact that it has some super cloak.
Location map, based on a planet. Moving beyond range 35 disengages with automatic defeat for that ship.
Game length: end of turn 2 if the Fec CA does not save the conference, if he does then until someone is destoryed or disengages.
The Fed CA starts 33 hexes from the planet, facing the planet (any of the 6 hex lines emanating from the planet will do).
The protagonist does not start on the map, and will deploy per the scenario rules.
Victory. If the Fed CA does not transport a team to the planet by the end of turn 2 then the day is lost no matter what. Transport per normal - must be in 5 hexes of planet, must drop a shield, must pay the power to activate transporters. No actual marines boxes are used.
If the above is achieved then the FedCA must defeat the protagonist to ensure that the conference remains secure. The protagonist is after glory and hopfully still managing to scupper peace efforts.
The protagonist: Any vessel up to 90pts (or 91 for a gorn frigate), basically any frigate size ship. Kept secret until deployment.
Whatever ship is choosen, the following rules apply. The ship has a cloak. The cloak is free (even if it is a romulan with a listed cloak cost), no power is required. The ship may fire any weapons whilst cloaked - direct or seeking, drones may be guided whilst cloaked. Whilst cloaked the ship is automatically the 'fastest' ship for move order purposes. Other cloak restrictions apply as normal.
Deployment. The protagonist deploys at any point he wants on turn 1 or 2. He can do that at any point in any impulse (e.g. After direct fire but before seeker launch). On turn 1 he must deploy within 9 hexes of the planet, If he deploys on turn 2 he must be within 15 hexes of the planet. He can't deploy in the same hex as the Fed CA. He cannot be targeted or inspected until deployment (note the lab rules, you can't target the protagonist until the start of the turn following deployment). After deployment the ship card is freely inspectable etc as normal. The protagonist still fills out power/speed etc at the start of turns 1 and 2, he just doesn't have to actually move and is assumed to obtain whatever position he wants on deploying. He can't fire if not deployed. He can start with all normal pre-load options.
Follow the exhaust: The Fed CA may use labs to accumulate 'exhaust' points. The labs follow normal rules (+4 and half points against cloak per cloak rules). Exhaust points provides a boost to probe damage, 1 extra damage per 2 exhaust points. Remember lab points are obtained at the end of the turn. The Fed CA may start using the probe either per normal rules, or from any turn that he has some exhuast points. The probe ignores the cloak altogether.
Pedal to the metal: The Fed CA ship has broken interstellar speed limits to arrive in time to save the conference. It cannot have pre-loaded photons.
Needs playtesting. Obviously.

Looks interesting.
I like it.
One question, when someone gets out to 35 hexes, both ships are within 35 hexes. Who loses.

Why is the cloak free? That could overpower it. Watch that.

Some additional notes about some bits I was thinking whilst coming up with the scenario.
The conference is easily saved, saving the conference is simply to force the Fed to make some 'risky' choices in the first couple of turns.
The distance to planet and deployment distance for the cloaked vessel were designed such that the Fed can transport the team on impule 7 of turn 1 and Het away on impulse 8 without ever exposing the downed shield to a sudden deployment and firing oppurtunity. The downside is that it will need pretty much all power on turn 1 and a straight move ahead with no deviation. That sets himself up to face a ship that will accept he can't get a downed shield but can simply pop up before the transporter and take the shield down for the fed! a couple of ships are quite good at this, a lyran military police frigate with 2 ESG and phasers will hurt, as would a hydran lancer with 3 fusions and 2 gatlings. The shield may limit the internals done but will mean the Fed has a down shield going forward rather than one which will come back up 2 impulses later.
The Fed could slow down to start arming photons etc and wait to turn2 to send the away team, however, the extra time and deployment zone on turn 2 means it is impossible to avoid letting the other guy get a pop at the dropped shield. However, I've realised that the Fed coud wait till impulse 8 and force the enemy to deploy without an opportunity to shoot the drop shield. So I would probably change the time limit to rescue the conference by impulse 7 of turn 2. I want the Fed to have to take the choice between show a down shield or barrel in.
The cloak is allowed to move after the fed all the time to get round his speed 16 limit. This is a rule I actually think should be in game anyway. I like the fact that we don't have fiddly hidden movement, but not that it easy to force something that you supposedly can't see to move before you and effectively have the iniative. At any rate for this scenario the Fed will struggle to get range 0 shots against a ship that always moves after him, in fact if the Fed doesn't watch it, getting to close with a possibly inferior turn mode as well could see him getting badly outmanouvered and shot up without shooting back much.
The overload photons hurt even with a cloak, if they are fired close enough there is a possible 32 damage against a small ship. However so long as you avoid the range 0 shot the best hit odds are 1-3, so the 'average' volley can be probably be taken without to much worry.
The lab points will eventually build up to a massive probe. With all labs the CA has he can accumulate +8 damage per turn. On the other hand labs are often the first systems to go down. Also the order of things means that the Fed CA will not be getting any use out of them till turn 3 or 4, depending on when the enemy shows himself, as he has to be on the map to be targeted durng energy allocation which means the turn after deployment, then the points are calculated at the end of the turn, so it will be 2 turns after deployment before a probe can be fired with the bonus. Then the probe can only fire every other turn anyway.
The cloak vessel has an interesting choice - crunch or nibble. He's more or less guaranteed 1 good crunch, but it may or may not be against a down shield, and crunch tends to mean multi turn arming. Nibble type weapons on the other hand gives him a good pole to prod the Fed every turn which can make getting lab points awkward as well as put him off just hanging around to fire phasers every turn.

That would be an interesting twist to make it more attractive for any ship to cloak, not just for this scenario.
Any cloaked ship would automatically be the last ship to move in each subpulse; two cloaked ships would of course resolve their differences as per the normal move order but still move after all other ships in that subpulse.
I think I will experiment with that as a house rule. You can justify it by saying that the other ships, while they can see roughly where the cloaked ship is, can't see him changing his heading or decelerating until it actually happens.

These criteria used for defining green products was excerpted from "Building Materials: What Makes a Product Green?" as featured by Environmental Building News.
The ongoing environmental impacts that result from energy and water used in operating a building often far outweigh the impacts associated with building it. Many products are included in GreenSpec for these benefits. There are several quite distinct subcategories:
Examples include structural insulated panels (SIPs), insulated concrete forms (ICFs), autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, and high-performance windows and glazings. As these energy-saving products gain market acceptance, our threshold for inclusion in GreenSpec may become more stringent. For example, we may begin including only SIPs and ICFs with steady-state R-values above a certain threshold or with other environmental features, such as recycled-content foam insulation. Some products, such as insulation, clearly offer environmental benefits but are so common that they need other environmental features to qualify for GreenSpec.
In the case of windows, the base standard for energy performance of windows is an NFRC-rated unit U-factor of 0.25 or lower for at least one product in a listed product line. If the windows are made from an environmentally attractive material (e.g., high recycled content or superb durability), the energy standard is less stringent: U-factor of 0.30 or lower. If the frame material is nongreen, such as PVC (vinyl), the energy standard is more stringent: U-factor of 0.20 or lower. There are a few exceptions to these standards, such as high-recycled-content windows made for unheated buildings.
With energy-consuming equipment, such as water heaters and refrigerators, we have good data on energy consumption and can set clear standards accordingly. In most product categories, e.g., refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers, we set higher thresholds than Energy Star®: for example, exceeding those standards by 10% or 20%. With lighting and lighting control equipment, certain generic products qualify, such as compact fluorescent lamps and occupancy/daylighting controls, while in other categories only a subset of products qualify. (See table for GreenSpec standards for certain types of equipment.) In some cases, products that meet the energy efficiency requirements are excluded, because of evidence of poor performance or durability. Microturbines are included here because of the potential for cogeneration (combined heat and power) that they offer. Ice- or chilled-water thermal energy storage (TES) equipment is also included because it helps reduce peak loads, which in turn can reduce energy costs and lower the impact of electricity generation.
Equipment and products that enable us to use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels and conventional electricity are highly beneficial from an environmental standpoint. Examples include solar water heaters, photovoltaic systems, and wind turbines. Fuel cells are also included here, even though fuel cells today nearly always use natural gas or another fossil fuel as the hydrogen source, they are considered green because emissions are lower than combustion-based equipment and because the use of fuel cells will help us eventually move beyond fossil fuel dependence.
All toilets and most showerheads today meet the federal water efficiency standards, but not all of these products perform satisfactorily. With toilets and showerheads we include products that meet the federal standards and have dependably good performance. We include in GreenSpec only toilets that offer at least 20% water savings, compared with the federal standard of 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf), and we have adopted the Maximum Performance (MaP) standard for the performance of most toilets, requiring a minimum rating of 65 grams of test media removal per liter of flush volume. Some other products, such as rainwater catchment systems, are also included.

(June 2008) As fossil fuel prices continue increasing and alternative energy gathers momentum, the energy and utility industries can expect to see continued interest from private-equity...
Green Options On the Future
Call options can be used as a financing tool for fixed-cost renewable energy technologies.
cents/kWh for the decade of 2016 to 2025.
If we assume prices rise 5 percent a year, then by the end of the 14th year prices will have doubled. See the middle two retail price curves (green lines) of Figure 3. In year 15 the call buyer will exercise the call option and only pay 20 cents/kWh for the remaining years. The buyer "saves" a cumulative 21.4 cents/kWh during the last years of the contract. Like a home owner who buys flood insurance, if the buyer's basement floods, the insurance company pays the claim. The call-option buyer paid out more than he recovered, but got peace of mind and benefited from the price cap.
Price doubling and 15 percent volatility over a 20-year time frame may represent an aggressive scenario. Yet almost the same result (in terms of call premium) would be obtained if volatility was only 7.5 percent and the call buyer wanted to cap prices 65 percent above the current price for the same decade. In this reduced volatility world, one would see annual price increases of 2.6 percent (zero payout, calls never exercised), 3.8 percent (recover about half of premium paid), and 5 percent (1.6 times initial premium recovered).
Call Seller
How might a renewable plant operator benefit from selling call options? Take a 50-MW wind farm with the following operational data: 3
• Capital cost: $50 million ($1,000/kW);
• Annual production: 150 million kWh—35 percent capacity factor; 4 and
• Annual Revenue: $6 million, assuming 4 cents/kWh wholesale price.
We assume the operator sells call options at twice the current wholesale price for the decade beginning in 2016. We further assume that electricity price volatility is 15 percent. In the previous example we saw that this call option will cost on average 25 percent of the current price. Using the 4 cents/kWh current price, we see that the wind farm operator could make 1 cent/kWh for selling electricity insurance that caps the price of electricity at 8 cents/kWh for the decade 2016-2025.
If the wind farm operator sells calls on 80 percent of its annual production:
• 80 percent of annual production = 120 million kWh = 0.8 x 150 million kWh;
• Call revenue for each year = $1.2 million = 120 million kWh x 1 cent/kWh; and
• Call revenue for the decade = $12 million = 10 years x $1.2 million/year.
Thus, in this example, by selling one decade's worth of electricity price insurance today, the wind-farm operator could recover $12 million, or nearly one-fourth, of the wind-farm operator's capital cost.
The call seller "pays" for this premium if prices more than double. In this example, the operator gives up 80 percent of revenue above 8 cents/kWh for the contract decade. This lost revenue can be clearly seen in Figure 4 by comparing the solid line (no call selling) with the dashed line (with call selling) of the same color. For either the 3.5 percent or 5 percent annual wholesale price inflation case, the call seller clearly benefits (generates more total revenue) by selling calls.

We all get tips, tricks and inspiration for our home projects from lots of places. And imagine this, some of those places are not blogs! I know, blasphemy. Today, I'm going to divulge who's in my multimedia circle of trust, those podcasts, shows and magainzes that I use to fill my commutes and lazy hours. I can only imagine your intrigue.
But truly, I hope this is a 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' type deal. As much as I love my old standbys, I'd love to add some new ones to the lineup, so share away! (Future Link Party idea??)
For listening to with a male counterpart: Ace on the House
I actually only regularly listen to one home improvement podcast, and that's Ace on the House. Available through iTunes like any other self-respecting podcast. New episodes every Saturday. It's hosted by Adam Carolla and his childhood buddy Ray Oldhafer and they take e-mail and phone questions about home improvement projects.
Now, if you listen to the Adam Carolla Show podcast (which I also highly recommend, it's definitely rated R, though) you know what an outspoken, sometimes harsh yet absolutely likable and always hilarious guy the Ace Man is. If you don't listen to the Adam Carolla Show, Ace was a carpenter (the real kind, not the weekend kind) before he made his living in comedy and espouses useful advice for anyone's questions. Ray still works as a contractor and their banter is entertaining because Ray is not afraid of giving Adam some $*%@, and he's hilarious in his own right. If you're not offended by curse words or questionably tasteful analogies, this podcast is the bomb. They talk about everything from fixing a squeaky subfloor to filling a yolked-out screw hole to hanging towel racks that won't pull through the drywall. My husband and I listen to it together when traveling in the car or while making eggs on Saturday mornings. Great stuff.
TV Shows
For your fix of Canadian dudes who still highlight their hair: Property Brothers
Or, ProBros as Mike and I call it. This HGTV show features 2 brothers, one a contractor and one a realtor (how convenient!) who help couples find the house of their dreams. The only catch? They can't afford the house of their dreams. Womp womp. But that's where the magic happens, the realtor ProBro shows couples some subpar homes and the contractor ProBro explains (and demonstrates via computer graphics) how the house can be transformed into their dream home all within their budget. The couple picks a house and then the demolition begins.
It gets really addicting to see how these once derelict homes turn out to be incredible places I'd love to live. Sometimes the couples are *ahem* difficult so it sates that love-to-hate drive. The brothers are entertaining and it shows you the potential in everything. Worth a watch. We've definitely spent more than one afternoon watching episode after episode after episode.
For good tips and tricks from old timers with Boston accents: Ask this Old House
The small project version of This Old House, this show is a PBS classic. If it ever goes off the air I will be DEVASTATED. Rich, Rodge, Tom, and the host Kevin visit people's houses to help them with home conundrums. They tackle stuff like banging baseboard heaters, burping sinks and uneven asphalt. These guys fix things the right way, to the code and to the book. No shortcuts here. It's great information, though, and I find they show me a lot of products you never knew existed like under cabinet LEDs or screws whose heads break off when torqued the right amount. The best part of the show, though, is 'What is it?' Oh, that segment slays me every time. One of the guys brings in a product and the rest offer their comical guess at what it is. Trust me, it's worth watching the show for just that.
For feeling like an inadequate homemaker: Martha Stewart Living
Ok, it doesn't really make me feel inadequate, it just makes me feel like I wish I had 10 more hours in the day and 10 million more dollars so I could outfit my named estate with personalized projects and extensive collections of things such as taxidermy and watermelon pot holders. I love the Martha Stewart aesthetic and this magazine has fabulous ideas and recipes. I find myself ripping out multiple pages from each issue and even the articles I can't relate to (taxidermy collection? really?) are beautifully shot. I'm sure you've seen this magazine, because, who hasn't? But, if you are a subscriber, and own an iPad, I highly recommend the iPad version. It is interactive and intuitive. I've totally come to love reading magazines on my iPad because of well-done versions like this. The only problem is you can't rip pages out of the digital version, but I've started to use screenshots…not as satisfying, but you can't have your cake and eat it too, I suppose.
So, good stuff, eh? (I just found out via my father-in-law and ancestry.com that I am Canadian 3 generations back and it has severely up-ticked my use of 'eh' because, well, I'm Canadian! No wonder I love the ProBros!) Ok, I've shown you mine, show me yours!

Author: Steven H. Horne
Paperback: 71 pages
Publisher: Whitman Books, Inc.
A Simplified Guide to Natural Health Care for Children.
As a father and parent himself, Steven Horne has focused over twenty years experience as an herbalist to bring you The ABC Herbal, a "common sense" approach to natural health care for your kids.
Addressing a host of common childhood ailments in this easy-to-read little book, Steven will share the same "tried and true" herbal home remedies he used with his own children.
You will learn simple methods to make and apply your own herbal preparations your family will enjoy taking.
The ABC Herbal is an invaluable resource for all parents concerned with the health and well being of their children.
In recent years, many people have returned to relying on herbal home remedies. Numerous books are appearing on the subject. These remedies are commonly referred to as "alternative" health care. This is because most people with health problems go to a licensed, medical doctor first. Then, if they are unable to find relief through this "orthodox" source, they turn to an herbalist, naturopath or massage therapist as an "alternative." Often this is done out of desperation or frustration rather than informed choice.
In our family, nutrition, herbs and massage are our primary means of health care. We try these simple, natural means first. We find they are especially effective when applied in early stages of disease. Why use the "big guns" of modern crisis medical care on a minor sniffle of a low-grade fever? If the problem is persistent or life threatening, then of course we need this high-powered professional help. We will seek it, too. But we will not waste our money nor the doctor's time and energy on common ailments, which we can safely and effectively treat at home. So in our case, "orthodox" modern medicine is the "alternative." Home remedies are our primary form of health care.
This is the way it was for most of our grandparents and great-grandparents. People use to have their family remedies for common health problems. Unfortunately, this knowledge is largely lost. Many modern parents run their children to the doctor for every minor ailment. Even some doctors realize that this is not good. The family physician we visited when I was a young boy once remarked to my mother, "I don't know why people don't try any home remedies anymore. I've been to see people when I was sicker than they were."
Those who use herbs and other home remedies on themselves are often afraid to treat their own young children. This is partly because parents to day lack the "common sense" understanding of things their great-grandparents had. They may be afraid their treatment won't be effective enough and the child may be harmed as a result. They may even fear criminal prosecution by the state should their treatment fail. This is compounded by the fact that most herb books are written primarily for adult problems. There are almost no herb books geared toward herbal remedies for young children.
My wife and I can empathize with these concerns, because we had them when we started taking responsibility for the health care of our own children. However, we are glad that we made the decision to become the primary health care providers for our children. We have been greatly blessed as a result. Our home remedies have proven to be MORE EFFECTIVE than the treatments offered by orthodox medicine for the same complaints.
For example, we can honestly tell you that we have seen sore throats, fevers and earaches gone within a few hours. We've settled stomachs, relieved headaches and taken the pain out of injuries in minutes. Colds and respiratory congestion are usually gone in 24 to 48 hours. In fact, as of this writing, we have four children, and in twelve years, we have only had to take a child to a medical doctor for treatment twice. The first time was nearly eleven years ago when our oldest daughter was one year old. That was before we learned most of the principles taught in this book. Today, we could easily handle the same complaint at home. More recently, one of our boys fell and hurt his neck and we took him to the doctor for x-rays, just to make certain nothing was seriously damaged. We do occasionally take our children to a chiropractor for an adjustment, but other than that we haven't had the need for doctors of any kind.
In contrast, we've listen to many parents tell us about fevers and earaches that lasted for days. We know families where the children are constantly battling colds, respiratory congestion, and infections. These families are taking their children to medical doctors for treatment on a regular basis and complying with their instructions. Generally, the doctors give the children antibiotics. The children then develop thrush (yeast infection), which weakens their immune system. Each time they are taken off the antibiotics, they wind up with some other infections, often worse than the one they just "recovered" from. After constant battles with earaches, the children wind up getting tubes in their ears. We've seen eighteen-month-old babies with severe urinary tract infections and pneumonia after ten rounds of antibiotics.
Something is not right here, Compared to ours, these "doctored" children look pasty and pale. Their eyes are not as bright. They are more emotionally stressed. Often they are petrified of strangers because of their experiences with drugs and hospitals. Often the parents feel that something is wrong, but they are afraid to try anything else. If the "big guns" of modern medicine have been unable to help their children, what chance could dietary changes or herbs do? When they try some of our home remedies out of exasperations, they are usually impressed with the rapid, dependable results they obtain.
So, our success is not due simply to the fact that we have been blessed with healthy children. We have been blessed, of course. We acknowledge that our children have been spared thus far from any broken bones or serious lacerations that would definitely require medical care. However, the greater blessing is that we have been given the knowledge we needed to handle the problems on our own, simply and effectively.
We want you to know that we are not fanatical about avoiding doctors. We know that modern medicine is wonderful and necessary for certain serious and life-threatening situations. However, this does not mean we have to discard all the knowledge of the past. Many of the home remedies of the past were and still are tremendously effective.
We must issue you a very important caution, however. We have taken responsibility for the health care of our children. However, we cannot and will not assume the responsibility for the health care of your children. God entrusted our children to us and He entrusted your children to you. So, if you're not willing and able to make intelligent, informed decisions about what you can reasonably handle and what require professional assistance, don't even try. This book is not intended to replace professional assistance. It is only our way of sharing the knowledge that has richly blessed our family with your family.
The purpose of this book is strictly educational. We can only share our knowledge and experiences with you. If you decide to try any of the remedies in this book on your children, then you must realize that you (not we) are taking the responsibility for those decisions. You must exercise your own common sense and realize when a situation is beyond your ability to treat. In those circumstances, you should promptly seek appropriate medical attention. We would also suggest that you seek professional help if ailments don't respond to your home remedies in a reasonable amount of time.
We don't want to discourage you from trying, but we do want you to know that every course of action involves some risk. Even taking your child to a doctor involves some risk. It is up to you to weigh the risk and decide what is best for your family. We want to reassure you that it is not difficult to learn to take care of most ailments. In fact, even doctors estimate that we would recover from 70-80% of most ailments if we just rested in bed and drank plenty of fluids. So why not experiment with home remedies for these non-life-threatening illnesses? We are certain you will discover, as we have, that God created the herbs and foods our bodies need to heal themselves. He also made their use simple enough that any person of average intelligence can learn to use them effectively.

Lots of good information. Just gives you data without drawing it out unnecessarily. A nice little book for the money.

The foundation identifies areas needing reform by working together with those affected by current problems. Our goal is to encourage social change. To achieve this, we must maintain an ongoing dialogue with all of society's stakeholders. In addition, we must constantly earn the trust of those whose time and creativity we depend upon for implementing our proposed solutions.
Bertelsmann Stiftung partners include political, business and social leaders, public and academic institutions and other foundations. We place particular emphasis on maintaining an active exchange with representatives of other countries and cultures.
In accordance with its articles of incorporation, the Bertelsmann Stiftung functions exclusively as a private operating foundation. It carries out its own project work and does not make grants or support third-party projects. As a result, it neither solicits nor accepts applications for grants or funding.
"I am convinced that we have found the decisive strategy for political and governmental reforms."
(Reinhard Mohn)

If your getting 60 fps in both games, with one maxed and the other not, you probably have v sync on. Its not that big of a deal, the human eye cannot see a difference above 38 fps.(well theres a few that can see close to 40, but thats less than 1% of the population)
As far as lag goes, it all depends on the connection your making to the server. For instance, i live in KY, I play on a west coast server and average 113 ms. When i try to connect to East coast servers, i on average have a 200 ms latency. A lot of this is due to the fact that my ISP backbone is in Saint Louis, so all my data first has to go West to go east. Chances are the AOC server is a few hops closer to your location than the wow server your playing on.
