Yes, the United States printed these large notes and they were used as legal tender money throughout the nation during the tumultuous Wild West period of American history. And what better way to illustrate those times than a large Bison and an Indian Chief, known as (Chief) Onepapa?
View Details
The U.S. Civil War marked the darkest time in United States history as the South fought the North for its independence. This was the deadliest war in United States history as more than 600,000 lost their lives. As the South seceded from the North in 1861, it formed the Confederate States of America. The Confederacy issued its own form of currency shortly before the war started.
This 1899 $2 Bill is one of the most beautiful notes ever issued by the U.S. Government, and it still remains legal tender. The ornate artwork features the image of George Washington between the symbols of Mechanics and Agriculture.
A must-have for Civil War buffs and history lovers! This exquisite collector's box contains 11 vintage items, including actual relics from 1861-1865 and a collection of historical postage stamps.
The stately Half Dollar is rarely seen today, and those minted of Silver belong to a bygone era. Here, in one exceptional collection, are the last 30 years of the magnificent .900 Fine Silver Half Dollars.
This outstanding showpiece marks the 150th anniversary of the attack on Fort Sumter with a genuine piece of American history: an original Confederate dollar. The $1 Virginia Treasury Note, like most Confederate currency, is becoming rare and collectible. The artifact, more than 145 years old and measuring 3 x 7, has wonderful graphics and was hand signed during the Civil War.
No other coin design captures the spirit of America like the beautiful Walking Liberty, struck in .900 Fine Silver from 1916-1947. Created by A.A. Weinman, it depicts a graceful Liberty advancing toward the dawn of a new day. This magnificent collection includes the scarce 1916 Walking Liberty and the rare 1921 coin. Each of the 25 Silver Half Dollars, one from each year of issue, is encased in a clear protective plastic capsule and set in a beautiful 10" x 12" wood display case. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Coins are in collectible condition, with all dates and mint marks clearly visible. Ships in 3 - 5 days.
This historical four-coin collection presents the FIRST FOUR YEARS of the Morgan silver dollar, from 1878 to 1881. These are original, authentic silver dollars, 90% fine silver and more than 130 years old. Each coin is investment quality and brilliant uncirculated.
Own a remarkable set of Morgan silver dollars, the "King of American Coins." This set of cherished Morgans brings you a coin from four different mints - New Orleans, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Denver. These are original, authentic silver dollars, 90% fine silver. The four silver dollars are investment quality and brilliant uncirculated.
The U.S. Mint produced the Morgan Silver Dollar (named for designer George Morgan) from 1878 to 1921. Thereafter, and in celebration of worldwide peace, a new design was introduced. It was known as the Peace Dollar. Offered here is a set of four that includes the dates 1922 to 1925, all in brilliant uncirculated condition. These are original, authentic "coins of the realm" and 90% fine silver.

My style is classic for the most part, I don't own a pair of jeans right now, mostly wear black slacks, dressy tops, and my skirts and dresses are 3/4 to floor length, not easy at my height. I don't wear regular tshirts, it has to have a V neckline, and don't do ruffles.

Hate and ignorance can have dangerous consequences. That's a lesson some local high school students learned Wednesday.
Millicent and Norman Daschman are traveling Wisconsin to teach students about the Holocaust. Both husband and wife are descendents of German prison camp survivors.
The Daschman's call Sept. 11 another Holocaust. They say just as in World War II, the terrorist bombings were fueled by intolerance of other people's religious beliefs.
As part of the lessons students at Athens high school received, teens were separated from their friends to show how people their age were separated from families and friends during the Second World War.
"That would be pretty scary for someone my age," 15-year-old Jacob Kulas said. "You might panic, and you get shot or worse."
The Daschman's say they've taught their message of acceptance to about 10,000 students from sixth grade and up, all across Wisconsin.

Budget Deficit Drops to $483 Billion, Lowest Since 2008
The government says the deficit for the just completed 2014 budget year was $483 billion, the lowest of President Barack Obama's six years in office.
The government says the deficit for the just completed 2014 budget year was $483 billion, the lowest of President Barack Obama's six years in office.
Retail sales and producer prices fell last month, worrisome signals on the economy's health that heightened financial market worries over faltering growth.
U.S. small-business optimism fell in September as more owners said they expected a slowdown in profits and sales and other concerns, a survey shows.
Import prices fell in September for the third straight month as the cost of petroleum products declined and a strong dollar made European goods cheaper.
Wholesale inventories rose by the most in four months in August, a sign the U.S. economy may have grown more than expected in the third quarter.
U.S. consumers increased their borrowing in August in the category that covers auto loans and student loans but cut back on their credit card borrowing.
Americans are expected to spend at the highest rate in three years during what's traditionally the busiest shopping season of the year, a survey shows.
Employers stepped up hiring in September and the jobless rate fell to a six-year low, which could bolster bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike in mid-2015.
New orders for U.S. factory goods posted their biggest decline on record in August, payback for an aircraft-driven jump a month earlier.
Construction spending fell in August, the second decline in the past three months, with housing, non-residential and government projects showing weakness.
Growth in factory activity slowed more than expected in September even as private sector job growth advanced, signs of an uneven expansion in the economy.
U.S. consumer confidence dropped in September after hitting the highest level in nearly seven years in August.
Rising incomes helped American consumers spend more in August, a positive sign for the U.S. economy which appears to be shifting into a higher gear.
The economy grew at its fastest pace in more than 2 years in the second quarter and activity was broad-based, a bullish signal for the rest of the year.
Orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods in August posted their biggest drop on record as the prior boost from aircraft unwound.
Sales of new single-family homes surged in August and hit their highest level in more than six years, suggesting the housing recovery remains on course.
Housing starts and permits fell in August, but upward revisions to the prior month's data suggested the housing market continued to gradually improve.
Consumer prices fell for the first time in nearly 18 months last month, which could lessen the urgency for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.
The share of Americans living in poverty fell last year, a sign an improving economy was finally trickling down to the country's least fortunate households.
Producer prices were flat in August, pointing to muted inflation pressures that should see the Federal Reserve in no hurry to raise interest rates.
Manufacturing output fell for the first time in seven months in August, but the underlying trend remained consistent with steadily rising factory activity.
U.S. retail sales rose broadly in August and consumer sentiment hit a 14-month high in September, which should ease concerns about consumer spending.
The federal government ran a lower budget deficit this August than a year ago, remaining on track to record the lowest deficit for the full year since 2008.
Foreclosure activity jumped in August for the second consecutive month as banks started the process on more properties and scheduled more housing auctions.
Wholesale inventories barely rose in July, suggesting a slower pace of stock accumulation that could prompt economists to trim their growth estimates.
mall-business optimism edged slightly higher in August as more owners said they expected business conditions to improve in coming months, a survey shows.
Americans are getting less cautious about spending. Consumers stepped up their borrowing in July, led by rising auto loans and higher credit card balances.
Job growth in the U.S. slowed down sharply in August and more Americans gave up the hunt for work, a new report from the federal government shows.
Private sector job creation slowed a touch in August, missing expectations though roughly maintaining the pace of expansion so far in 2014.
The economy strengthened in all regions of the country in July and August, in areas from consumer spending to auto sales to tourism, the Fed reports.

Showing 2 reviews for SP6-12

Review by
Al from Platteville, WI
The speaker depth extenders didn't fit my application. Me having a sheet of MDF in the garage and too lazy to cut them decided to order these depth extenders. I bought them to use for a set of Massive Audio RK6 components (HUGE magnet) and the basket was too wide for the depth extenders. They look like a solid product and should do a good job just make sure to check the width of the basket on your speakers.

Britain won its first gold medal of the London Olympics, while eight badminton players were expelled for deliberate poor play.
Kristin Armstrong of the U.S. won her second straight women's cycling time-trial gold ahead of world champion Judith Arndt of Germany and Russia's Olga Zabelinskaya.
Helen Glover and Heather Stanning led from the start in winning today's women's pairs rowing event. The first British women to win a rowing gold traveled the 2,000-meter course in 7 minutes, 27.13 seconds, leading at each of the 500-meter marks. Australia finished 2.73 seconds back and New Zealand was third.
"I remember never ever ever thinking we've got this, until we got across the line, and then I thought we've got this," Glover, 26, told the British Broadcasting Corp.
Four badminton doubles teams from China, South Korea and Indonesia were expelled by the Badminton World Federation after they appeared "not to exert themselves fully during their final group matches," according to a statement on the Olympic News Service. The players repeatedly served into the net and put regulation shots wide.
The World champions and top seeds, Yu Yang, 26, and Wang Xiaoli, 23, from China, and South Korea's Jung Kyung-Eun, 22, and Kim Ha-Na, 22, had already made the quarterfinals heading into their match. South Korea's victory set up a meeting with China's Tian Quing and Zhao Yunlei. By losing, the Chinese pair couldn't meet their compatriots until the final.
Also Banned
A second South Korean pair, the third-seeded Ha Jung Eun, 25, and Kim Min Jung, 26, and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii, 24, are also banned after not trying in their match, the federation said. Both teams had also qualified for the quarterfinals.
Medals will be awarded in 20 events today, including the men's individual all-around title in gymnastics. There also are four medal races in the pool, with 17-year-old Missy Franklin of the U.S. seeking her second gold of the games in the women's 800-meter freestyle relay.
Armstrong, 38, retired at the end of the 2009 season to start a family, and after the birth of her son decided to return to cycling competition last year to defend her Olympic title. She finished in 37 minutes, 34.82 seconds, beating Arndt by about 15 seconds.
In rowing, Ukraine won the women's quadruple sculls, beating Germany and the U.S. at Dorney Lake at Eton, outside London. Germany won the men's eight event, with Canada second and Britain third.
China leads the standings with 13 golds among its 23 medals. The U.S. has 25 medals, 10 of them gold. The Olympics opened July 27 and run through Aug. 12.

Fancy brain scans can detect when the mind wanders (Engadget)
Apr 22nd 2008 12:08PM I hardly doubt you would have major corporations sitting around with all of their coworkers hooked up to brain scanners so that they can detect people who are starting to zone out. Even if this did occur, the scanners would tell the emplyers that that employee needs a break. Then perhaps employees would be more efficient when they get back and maybe the employer could save money or at the very least have a more accident free day.
or what you said... your story is much more fun. (fun as in interesting not fun as in jumping w/ joy)
Dallas considers shutting off red light cams, since they're working too well and harming revenue (Engadget)
Mar 16th 2008 1:13PM When i first read this i thought they were cameras set up in the Red Light District. I could see how having cameras there might decrease revenue. The article was considerably less fun to read when i realized what they were actually talking about.
In light of my revelation, I found it incredibly unnerving that the government wishes to curtail usage of a device known to lower accident rates, because it has worked to well and they are now seeing decreased revenue. I hope the citizens of this area see what sort of priorities their government really has.

The Chinese government's investments in the biopharmaceutical sector may help it become one of the leading industries in China by 2020.
Manufacturing recombinant proteins at industrially relevant levels requires technologies that can engineer stable, high-expressing cell lines rapidly, reproducibly, and with relative ease. Commonly used methods incorporate transfection of mammalian cell lines with plasmid DNA containing the gene of interest. Identifying stable, high-expressing transfectants is normally laborious and time consuming. To improve this process, the ACE System has been developed based on pre-engineered artificial chromosomes with multiple recombination acceptor sites. This system allows targeted integration of single or multiple gene copies and eliminates the need for random integration into native host chromosomes. To illustrate the usefulness of the ACE System in generating stable, high-expressing cell lines, we present several case studies covering CHO cell lines expressing monoclonal antibodies.
An underlying theme of FDA's drug safety program is that new discoveries in biomedical science can detect risk issues earlier in clinical development.

Die-hards brave hurricane to drink on Bourbon Street
Most residents and tourists heeded calls to hunker down as the storm approached on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 03:32 AM

A few dozen die-hards braved the rains and winds of Hurricane Isaac to party in the famed French Quarter, but they found Bourbon Street — and most of New Orleans — nearly empty.
Most residents and tourists heeded calls to hunker down as the storm approached on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the "Big Easy" and killed nearly 1,800 people across the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The anniversary left many uneasy and anxious as they remembered the chaos and 15-foot flood waters that swallowed New Orleans after Katrina — a Category Three hurricane packing sustained winds of 125 miles per hour — smashed the low-lying city's poorly constructed levees.
"It brings back a whole lot of memories," said Melody Barkum, 56, who spent days stranded on a roof without food or water after Katrina came ashore on August 29, 2005.
Isaac was nowhere near as strong — with winds of just 80 miles per hour — and two hours after it made landfall, there was little visible damage in the French Quarter.
Tourists Travis Methvin and Erica Johnson huddled under a balcony and grabbed some sloppy kisses as a few bored police officers looked on from the other side of Bourbon Street.
"What are you going to do, sit in your hotel all night?" Methvin told AFP as Johnson laughed and sipped her beer.
"It's been pretty benign all day. Let's be real about it."
The bulk of the city's restaurants, shops, bars — and even strip clubs — were closed, their windows covered in storm shutters and plywood, sandbags protecting doorways from rising water.
The few that were open didn't have many customers.
Bartender Arla Parker looked bored as she watched a couple regulars play pool and five other locals sip their drinks. The juke box drowned out the sound of the rain.
She said she didn't mind working through the storm, and that business is usually quiet in the summertime anyway.
"The Quarter is a really tight-knit community — you need a place to go if you don't want to sit at home," she explained.
Trent Sehlinger, 40, took his dog for a walk through the Quarter with a group of friends who'd made rain jackets out of black garbage bags.
"She gets a little nervous inside," he said. "Thought I'd get her outside to blow off some energy."
John and Misty Demahy also took advantage of a lull in the storm to get some air and walk down to the banks of the Mississippi River. The storm surge was pushing the water backwards up the river and they wanted to see the rare sight.
"I'm not on edge at all," John said. "It's a small hurricane — I think it'll be good for the city to go through a good hurricane."
"Maybe that will take some of the edge off," Misty added.
A steady stream of adventurous souls headed to the banks of Lake Pontchartrain earlier Tuesday to feel the power of the wind and watch the waves crash in before dusk fell.
"It's awesome!" Scott Schneider, 40, told AFP after climbing down a grass-covered levee to get a picture of the flooded lake front park.
The wind was strong enough to whip the glasses off Evan Stoudt's face as he watched the waves crash up on shore.
"It's pretty nuts. It's the start of the storm and already it's hard to stand still."

-- Shawn Michaels has shot down the WrestleMania 28 rumor, tweeting the following: "Bogus!! False!! Lie!! Completely made up!! Too much?:-)." As we noted earlier, numerous people claim Shawn is "done for good" and that the rumors were just that - rumors.
-- In an injury that could affect this Sunday's WrestleMania XXVIII Divas Tag Team Match featuring Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos against Beth Phoenix and Eve, New York Post gossip column Page Six confirmed our earlier report that Maria Menounos broke a rib during a recent dancing rehearsal for Dancing with the Stars. She broke the rib during a hardcore rehearsal with dance partner Derek Hough, who was teaching her the Cha-cha-cha. A source says, "She has been in excruciating pain for the past few weeks during rehearsals, but she is staying strong and working through it. She refuses to give up." Page Six adds Menounos is hiding a rib brace underneath her dancing gear. Menounos confirmed the injury to Extra Monday, the entertainment news program she hosts. She says she suffered two broken ribs during a recent dance rehearsal. She will nonetheless perform on tonight's Dancing with the Stars.

Brock Lesnar: UFC 141 Interview
Brock Lesnar On How He Gets Battle-Ready
Page 2 of 2
If there's one piece of advice you could pass down to men, what would it be?Brock Lesnar: Take better care of yourselves -- absolutely.
At the end of the day, I think everybody takes for granted that they get up, get out of bed every morning -- just the mere fact that they can stand in front of the mirror and brush their teeth and get in their car and take off, you know? I think a lot of people take their health for granted.
I know I did. You just get into this routine every day of going through the motions and doing all of those things without taking that into consideration.
And how has your diet changed as a result? Are you fueling your body differently these days?BL: My wife does one hell of a job, along with my nutritionist, Anita Richardson, and Dymatize Nutrition. It's everybody; it's a whole team effort over here. My wife does all my cooking and all of the shopping, and, at the end of the day, she's the one preparing my diet, along with the input from some other folks.
But there's no real huge secret. Make sure we get lots of protein and lots of carbohydrates. At the end of the day, it's not rocket science. We just want to eat clean and healthy and lots of fiber.

Private-sector privacy law debated in Manitoba
May 21, 2009
The Manitoba Legislature is currently debating Bill 219 – The Personal Information Protection and Identity Theft Protection Act.
The Bill has been introduced as a private member's Bill by Mavis Taillieu of the Opposition Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba. It seeks to regulate the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by organizations in the private sector and is intended to be "substantially similar" to the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). It would also establish a duty for organizations to notify individuals who may be affected when the personal information an organization has collected is lost, stolen or compromised. Such a requirement would be groundbreaking in Canada (notwithstanding Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act, which has a mandatory breach notification requirement).
Regrettably, the Government of Manitoba indicated in the Legislative Assembly debate last week that it has two primary concerns with the Bill. The first concern is that the Bill lacks an independent oversight body such as a Privacy Commissioner of Manitoba. Legislative rules prevent private member's Bills from containing financial penalties and so the Bill could not contain such provisions. However, the government could add those provisions in amendments. In fact, I assisted with the drafting of the Bill and would happily provide the government with the relevant provisions. The second concern raised by the government is that the Bill would introduce legislation in Manitoba that (according to the government) would regulate activities in the private sector already governed by PIPEDA. However, PIPEDA does not apply to the activities of private sector organizations in provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia, both of whom have Personal Information Protection Acts, because PIPEDA does not apply where "substantially similar" provincial legislation exists.
The Bill was first introduced in 2005 and since that time the need for such a law has significantly grown. It's modelled after Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act, which provides a more business-friendly and clear legislative scheme than PIPEDA. As I've previously argued, it would be good policy for the Government of Manitoba to support the Bill and I once again urge them to do so.
If you want a more business-friendly privacy law in Manitoba, I'd strongly encourage you to contact the Government of Manitoba and Mavis Taillieu to indicate your support.

The Khadij Mercenaries background is based on them having found a derelict ship on their homeworld in -Y88 (I will let you try to find from which empire it came) ;).
|By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Saturday, September 28, 2013 - 04:04 pm: Edit
If that derelict is from who I think it is, I would be very careful about that idea.
Pretty much no-one who is not of that empire has been able to understand, let alone reverse-engineer, most of their unique technology.
If the Khadij technologies are meant to be derived from that source, I'd be concerned that the concept may be dead on arrival.
(I'm not sure if knock-offs or imitation systems might have much leeway either. But then, it's not my call to make, so.)
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Saturday, October 05, 2013 - 03:57 pm: Edit
Gary maybe you should wait and see it before saying that.
They don't use any of the Andro tech, but the Khadij tech is all derived (is that how you say that?) from it.

I didn't have much time this week so I only did some work on the Sunfire Khanate CA (armed with Proton Pulse Emitter, Large Mass Driver, Spear Missile and deadly Firebird or Sunbird fighter).
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Friday, October 11, 2013 - 11:07 am: Edit
This week I've been working on the Demony Alliance (Armed with Proton Pulse Emitter, Transporter Cannon, Spear Missile, Trans-Dimensional Shield and can bring entities from another dimension that can be used as boarding parties, seeking weapon, shuttle or some weirder stuff).
Also I've done some work on the Corsairs of the KFZ (armed with Proton Pulse Emitter, Meson Torpedo and Spear Missile).

Could be that the Khadij got some Old Kings technology, or their enemies (the name of which I forget right now). Or old Jindarian technology, they've been in space for thousands of years.

Hi Francois. We are about to playtest the Valorean CA (Unity). This ship will be fun to fly.
We had some questions about the Tri-Beam Amplifier and the Magnifier. Can you please clarify?
1) Does the TBA hit four times over 8 impulses (similar to a PPD)? Or does each TBA only fire once?
2) Assuming the TBA only fires once, your rules say that the second hit will be 1/2 on the magnified shield. So lets say that the #4 shield was hit first and magnified (by TBA #A). Within two impulses, a second TBA (TBA #B) is fired and hits the #3 shield. If the second TBA (TBA #B) does 12 points of damage, then 6 would be applied to the #4 (the magnified) shield, correct? And the remaining 6 points of damage would be applied to the #3 (facing) shield. Is this right?
3) Assuming the TBA hits four times over 8 impulses (once every other impulse), then is each hit (after the first hit) an automatic hit on the magnified shield?
4) Since the TBA is a two turn arming weapon and the Magnifier can be armed in a single turn, is it correct that you must pay the Magnifier cost on the second turn of arming, separate from the arming cost of the TBA?
5) Since there is more than one Magnifier on the Valorean CA, and more than one TBA, does it matter which Magnifier was used with which TBA? For example, if TBA #A hits and magnifies a shield, and then TBA #B fires, does TBA #B have to use its own Magnifier? Or does it gain the benefit of the magnified shield from the TBA #A hit?
6) Lets assume during a battle that both Magnifiers get destroyed or the Valorean CA does not have enough power to use them. Does the TBA just hit and score damage as per the chart? In other words, if a shield is not magnified, then how does the TBA function?
7) The Magnifier can be used with a PP instead of a TBA, correct? Since the cost is zero, can each Magnifier only be used with a single PP once per turn?
8) If you pay the cost for the Magnifier during Energy Allocation, and then don't actually use it, is the energy lost or can the Magnifier power be held or rolled over?
9) Do the magnified shield effects combine? For example, lets say a TBA (#A) hits and magnifies a shield on impulse 4. Later, TBA (#B) hits and magnifies the same magnified shield on Impulse 8. Does the magnification for that shield end on impule 12 or impulse 16? In other words, can the magnified time be extended by hitting with a second TBA (with its own Magnifier) before the first magnified time ends?
Sorry for the number of questions, but we want to make sure we are flying the Valorean CA correctly. Thank you in advance for your time in responding.
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 04:54 pm: Edit
Hi Norman,
1) Each TBA can only fire once.
2) See EN111.32, if the second hit scores 12 points of damage, 6 will be scored on the #4 shield (since it was magnified) and the rest will be evenly distributed on all 5 shields.
3) You still have to roll the damage on the table but assuming you score some damage the second hit will score 1/2 damage on the magnified shield, the third will score 3/4 and the four will score 100% damage on the magnified shield. Notice that at this time only the DN has 4 TBA, only the unit who magnified the shield receive this benefit, every individual unit must magnify a shield.
4) Correct, the magnifier cannot be held but you can use it with a Pulse Phaser for no cost on your rearming turn if you want.
5) No only one is needed, the other one are normally used with Pulse Phaser.
6) If you didn't use a magnifier or if you fire all of your TBA together you use EN111.32, roll dice, add damage, 1/4 of damage goes to the facing shield and the rest is divided evenly on all 5 non-facing shield.
7) Correct one magnifier can only be used by one PP.
8) You lose the energy.
9) No, the effect is not cumulative and if you use a second magnifier on another shield you would just start the sequence from the start.
No problem hope you enjoy and can give me a report!

Hi Francois. Thanks for the clarification. We ran a duel between the Valorean CA and a Fed CA. It was interesting. I will type up the playtest report and send it to you as soon as I have some extra time. I will also post a quick summary here.
While playing with the Valorean, some interesting discussion came up. So here are a few more questions, mostly considering the Alpha Sector:
1) How does the TBA affect Armor? A simple example would be to say an Alpha Sector ship with Armor has no shields. It is hit with a TBA. How does the TBA interact with only the Armor as defense?
2) How does the TBA affect Andromedan PA Panels? The only thing I could find was (EN111.53) which states that TBAs interact with other systems like Hellbores. It is the Magnification effect that makes the TBA different than the Hellbore. So can an Andromedan PA Panel be Magnified? How does this work when one or more TBAs hit a Magnified PA Panel?
3) It states in (GN104.33) that a Magnifier requires active fire control and a lock on to the target. So if a Romulan ship has two shields Magnified and it suddenly cloaks, is the Magnification effect broken? How does the Romulan Cloak interact with the Magnification effect?
4) Does the destruction of a Magnifier affect the Magnified effect? For example, lets say that a ship has two shields Magnified (meaning it has been hit and damaged already by TBAs). Now the ship returns fire on the Valorean and manages to destroy both Magnifiers. Does the 8 impulse Magnification effect end suddenly? Or does it continue even if both Magnifiers have been destroyed?
5) How does the Magnifier and TBA interact with the Helgardian Rotary Shields? Lets say a TBA and Magnifier hit a Helgardian ship and one Rotary Shield is protecting the facing shield. Does the Rotary Shield get Magnified or does the facing shield? How is the TBA damage distributed with the Rotary Shield there? What if both of the Helgardian's Rotary Shields are protecting the facing shield when the TBA and Magnifier hit?
Thanks and I hope to hear back from you soon.
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 06:14 pm: Edit
Hi Norman,
1) See En111.324, unshielded target receive 50% damage from a TBA on the facing arc. Notice that the Magnifier would have no effect since GN104.31 stated that ''...the facing SHIELD (my emphasis) is magnified...''.
2) Like hellbore, half of the damage are scored on the FH arc, half on the RH. Since the Andro don't have shield the Magnifier would have no effect.
3) The Magnifier needs active fire control and a lock on to the target to be used. Once the shield is magnified the AFC and lock on aren't needed. The fact that the shield is magnified will only affect the damage procedure (normally) and have no other effect on the cloaking device.
4) No, once used the effect will survive its destruction.
5)Humm, good question, I think the facing shield should be magnified not the Rotary Shield.
Thanks good questions! I hope to see the playtest report soon.
|By Norman Dizon (Normandizon) on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 06:48 pm: Edit
Thanks for the answers, Francois. I was refreshing my memory by reviewing the playtest guidelines online when I noticed that ships must be tested at least twice, preferably more. So let me get my group to run a couple of more duels against the Valorean before I type up the official playtest report. Thanks!
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 07:03 pm: Edit
Good! Change tactics and maybe alternate the players?
|By Norman Dizon (Normandizon) on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 02:12 pm: Edit
Yes, we will definitely alternate the players. I can't guarantee the change in tactics, because each player likes to fly his ship in his own unique way. So we will have to see how everything turns out.
By the way, what does a Valorean look like? Are they human? Animal-like? A strange alien? Or undefined at the moment?
|By Francois Angers (Francoisngg) on Saturday, October 19, 2013 - 02:48 pm: Edit
The Valoreans are a symbiotic life form, each individual needing both a host and a symbiote to qualify as a member of the Valorean people. The host is a very large (200 to 300 KG) humanoid mammalian, called a Plix. Plix have no neck, the head is attached directly to the shoulder. Their large eyes are widely spaced and to the sides of the head giving the Plix a 270 degrees field of vision. They are not much more intelligent then an earth dog. They are very strong and difficult to kill.
The symbiote is called a Threx and is in fact a plant. They are attached within days of being born to the back of the shoulders of a young Plix and will stay there until they died. It is impossible to detach a Threx from its host without killing him. If the host dies the symbiote will also die.

Hi Francois. Here is a summary of the first Valorean vs Fed duel. This battle will be included in my official playtest report, along with a couple of other battles. Please let me know what you think about the Notes/Suggestions/Conclusions section.
VALOREAN CA vs FEDERATION CA BATTLE #1:
(both ships have all refits)
TURN 1 � Both ships are moving fast, long range sniping, no damage due to reinforcement. The Valorean CA uses 3 Mags with 3 MPPs. The Fed CA fires a drone.
TURN 2 � Fed CA fires another drone. Both CAs are closing, sideslipping as they get closer. At Range 5, one overloaded TBA with Mag is fired, along with 2 MPPs and Mags. The Fed CA #1 shield is magnified. The Fed CA shields are only scratched after this strike.
At Range 4, the Fed CA fires 4 overloaded photons and its PH-1s. The Valorean CA opts to return fire with its remaining TBAs and MPPs. The Fed CA blows a hole in the Valorean front shield and does massive internals to the Valorean CA. The Valorean return fire barely gets through the Fed CA shield and does some internals.
Fed CA takes 19 internals. The Fed CA #1 shield is gone. All the other shields on the Fed CA are at half strength.
Valorean CA takes 60 internals. The Valorean CA has no #1 shield. After the 60 internals are rolled, the Valorean has no TBAs, no Mags, no Phasers, no FH Neutronium Armor, and less than half of its power remaining.
TURN 3 AND ON � Valorean CA tries to limp away and turn other shields toward the Fed CA. The Fed CA continues to pound on the Valorean CA, crippling it even more. As the Valorean CA gets slower and slower, it is hit by Fed Drones, along with Photons. The Valorean CA cannot even disengage. It is destroyed completely.
Captain Bluto of the U.S.S. Knuckle: �Those Triangulum guys are real pushovers!�
1) We noticed the Valorean has a better turn mode than the Fed CA. Was this intentional?
2) It appears that 3 overloaded TBAs with Magnifiers are no match for 4 overloaded photons at close range (range 4-5). One overloaded TBA was fired from Range 5, resulting in a hit and a magnified shield. On the next impulse, before two impulses could pass to take advantage of the magnification effect, the Fed closed to Range 4 and fired 4 overloaded photons. The Valorean was forced to return fire with two overloaded TBAs. Since two impulses had not passed since the first TBA hit, the two overloaded TBAs did not gain the advantage of the magnification effect. The overloaded TBAs broke through the Feds #1 shield and did a few internals. They also reduced all of the Feds other shields marginally. The Feds overloaded photons have a good chance to hit at Range 4 and do 16 points each. The #1 shield on the Valorean was easily collapsed and the Valorean took massive internals from the overloaded photons alone. When you add the PH-1s on the Fed, even more internals were scored. So it appears that 3 overloaded TBAs with Magnifiers are not the equivalent of 4 overloaded photons at range 4-5.
3) After realizing #2 above, the question came up as to why the Valorean CA only has 3 TBAs? Is this to balance it against other Triangulum CAs? Perhaps it should have 4 TBAs to match the Fed�s 4 photons?
4) Powering the Mags for use with the TBAs caused a little hesitation. Since the magnification effect cannot be extended or doubled, it became a concern about whether to waste 2 points of energy on a second Magnifier. If the first TBA and Magnifier hit, the target ship was considered magnified already, so firing with a second TBA with Magnifier did nothing else. This means the 2 points for the second Magnifier was wasted. But if the Valorean misses with the first TBA and Magnifier, then it will need the second Magnifier to try again with a second shot. So in this case, the extra 2 points for second Magnifier was useful. Powering all three Mags for all three TBAs seemed unnecessary, based on hit probabilities at that range.
5) Neutronium Armor works well, but only if it is against minimal internals. The Neutronium Armor doesn�t really matter when you are dealing with massive internals. They get destroyed along with everything else. One thing that came up was the two hemispheres for the Neutronium Armor. The Fed�s alpha strike destroyed the FH Neutronium Armor and most of the key systems. But the RH Neutronium Armor was untouched. Later, the RH Neutronium Armor was marked off, because the Valorean CA suffered more internals from the RH. This worked fine in game sense, because any key system hit on the DAC was just marked off the Neutronium Armor instead. But from a reality point of view, what exactly is the RH Neutronium Armor protecting at this point? The key systems had already been destroyed by the previous alpha strike. So the RH Neutronium Armor is just sitting there, protecting the Bridge, when the Bridge itself has already been destroyed? It didn�t make sense to us, concept-wise. It also brought up the idea that, perhaps, the Neutronium Armor should just be 360 degrees?
6) Since the Valorean cannot withstand a close range alpha strike, it seems like the successful Valorean must maintain distance and fight a long range battle. This makes sense, except for #8 and # 11 below, which seem to contradict this strategy.
7) MPPs seem to be the equivalent of PH-1s. At some ranges, they are better.
8) TBA�s have a strange maximum effectiveness range. They are most powerful at range 2-5, ok at range 6-8, and terrible at range 0-1. So of course the Valorean Captain is going to want to fire the TBAs from ranges 2-8. But firing at this range is just asking for an overloaded (possibly alpha) strike from an Alpha Sector weapon. So if the Valorean is supposed to stay away and fight a long range battle, then why are the TBAs best results at close range (meaning range 8 or less)?
9) It was already stated that a miss with a TBA and Magnifier, wastes the 2 points used to power the Magnifier. What if the Magnifier was powered and fired separately from the TBA? Perhaps it should not be combined in its usage? If a Magnifier was required (or allowed) to hit before any TBAs were even fired, then it might help the Valorean Captain to know when to close and use the TBAs. What do you think? Can the Magnifier work on its own, separate from the TBA?
10) The MPPs and LPPs on the Valorean CA were more than sufficient to handle the drones from the Fed CA. Until they were destroyed, at least.
11) We noticed that all the weapons on the Valorean CA fire forward. The only weapons that fire to its rear are two LPPs (360). This makes it difficult for the Valorean to fight a middle to long range battle. It will have to always face forward to fire at its opponent. If the Valorean has to circle and constantly turn, then perhaps some of its weapons (not necessarily the TBAs) should be able to fire to the rear? And more weapons should be able to fire to the sides?
12) The Fed CA BPV might be a starting reference point for trying to determine how much the Valorean CA BPV should be. Of course, it will take more battles to see if the Valorean CA can win. If it cannot, then its BPV should be less than 125.
13) Was it your original intent as the designer to make the Triangulum ships not be a match for the Alpha Sector ships? If you look at an Omega CA, you can see that it would not be able to stand up to an Alpha Sector CA. Perhaps you wanted Triangulum to be the same? If Triangulum is supposed to be equivalent to the Alpha Sector, then some changes are definitely needed for the Valorean CA.
14) Since the TBA functions similar to a Hellbore, we did some comparisons to the Hellbore. The Hellbore attacks the weakest shield. The TBA attacks the magnified shield. Multiple Hellbores can be fired at the same time for maximum effectiveness. For maximum magnification effect with the TBA, you must wait two impulses between shots. For the Hellbore, there will almost always be a weakest shield to target. For the TBA, it may or may not have the magnification effect to use. In addition, the magnification effect only lasts for 8 impulses, making the advantage temporary.
15) The Hellbore has a direct-fire mode. Perhaps the TBA should also have some kind of way to fire directly? This might help the Valorean deal with alpha strikes.
16) For some reason, we sense the original idea behind your tri-beam amplifier was for multiple tri-beams to be more powerful than a single tri-beam. This could explain why you have a dual-beam weapon and 4 TBAs on the dreadnought. But this idea is not really achieved because of the need to wait 2 impulses between strikes. Maybe the TBA should be more powerful when all three TBAs are fired at once? Perhaps, they could do more damage than normal (when fired in unison) or perhaps they could really focus on the magnified shield when fired together. If you add a direct fire mode, then maybe three combined TBAs are more powerful than a single TBA when fired in direct-fire mode? What do you think?
17) The Mag use with the MPP leads to interesting range tactics. Since the chart is moved to the left when using a Mag with a MPP, the player can really use the range to his advantage. For example, the MPP has a range chart for 4-6 and a range chart for 7-10. If a MPP fires with a Mag, you use the chart to the left. So the Valorean Captain could actually fire a MPP (with Mag) from range 10, and do the damage for the 4-6 chart. Another example might be the range charts for 16-25 and 26-50. You could fire a MPP (with Mag) from range 50 and use the hit chart for range 16-25. Was this intentional? Also, having only 3 Mags to work with on the Valorean CA limits this ability. If the Valorean uses all 3 Mags with TBAs, then it has no advantage to use with the MPPs. So it really can only use the Mags with the MPPs on the first turn of TBA arming. Maybe the Valorean CA should have more Mags so it can fight a better long distance battle? What do you think?
18) It became clear very quickly that the Valorean CA shields were much weaker than the Fed CA shields. Was this intentional? The Valorean CA only has a 20 point #1 shield compared to the 30 point #1 shield on the Fed CA. Perhaps the shields need to be increased on the Valorean to make it more of a match for the Alpha Sector?
19) Having to wait two impulses between shots (to gain the advantage of the magnification effect) with the TBA is a real disadvantage. It is very easy for an opponent to strike the Valorean in-between those impulses with a powerful strike. Maybe there is a way to change this or compromise on its limitations? If the Valorean succeeds in magnifying a shield, it should gain some kind of benefit, regardless of impulse. Maybe the TBA should �pulse� and shoot four times over 8 impulses? Maybe a single TBA can fire more than once in a turn? I am not really sure how this issue can be corrected.
20) After comparing the Valoreans to the Hydrans, we noticed that the Hydrans also have Fusions, Gatlings, and Fighters. I believe this helps them use their Hellbores effectively. But what does the Valorean have? Only its TBAs and Mags. Perhaps the Valoreans need a secondary weapon? Something powerful at close range to prevent enemy alpha strikes. It should be something that compliments the TBA and the tactics required to make the TBA work. What do you think?

Hi Norman,
The Valorean CA is not made to overrun, especially not a Fed CA, but to dance with him.
1) See above.
2) a TBA does (on average with no overload) 14 points of damage at range 5 (20 with overload) but it also does 6.67 point of damage at range 16. Against a Fed CA I would go for a range 16 attack before going in.
3)4 overload photon (32 points of energy):
range 1: 53,33
range 5: 32
range 8: 32
4 STD range 16: 5,33
3 overload TBA ( 27 points of energy):
range 1: 14
range 5: 60
range 8: 40
3 STD range 16: 20
Of course the TBA damage is split on more then one shield.
4) I was hesitant to make the magnifier free to use with the TBA but maybe reduce the price to 1 point of energy?
5) That would be a major change to the ships, let's wait and see. I understand what you are saying about protecting destroyed system but to make an analogy, if you pierce the side armor of a tank and kill all people inside you would still have undamaged armor on all other side, would you say it was useless to put it there in the first place?
6) In the case of a Fed CA yes, dance with him.
7) The MPP damage bracket are different then PH-1 and they are much less affected by ECM.
8) Against a Disruptor armed ship I would go for rage 5 to 8 attack but against a photon armed one I would go for range 16.
9) It could be done that way or reduce the Magnifier price to 1 or 0.
10) and 11) Maybe modify the firing arc.
12) In our battle the Val CA could hold its own again the Fed CA but at longer range.
13) Of course some adjustment will be needed based on playtesting but you cannot based that on only one go.
14) 4 overload hellbore (36 points of energy):
range 1: 116,67
range 5: 54,88
range 8: 54,88
4 STD range 16: 13,33
I admit the Hellbore has many advantage against the TBA except they cost more to arm.
15) This could be an option.
16) Humm, the DN has 4 TBA and no DBA.
The idea for the TBA (and many other ideas in the Triangulum galaxy) is to force you to fight differently then with an Alpha ship. Maybe the effect of the magnification could be extended to 16 impulses (instead of 8) this could give you more time to set up your different strike.
17) I think we will need to put a maximum range on the magnifier (maybe range 25). Also I'm really thinking of having the Magnifier used independently of the TBA, first you "paint" the target (this should probably have a maximum range of 25) and then this shield is magnified for the TBA. This way you would only need one magnifier for your TBA and the other one would be available for the MPP, what do you think?
18) Here is the balancing act, you get less shield but you get Neutronium armor, too many shield and they would be way too resistant to damage compared to Alpha ship. The "standard" shield for a Triangulum CA is 24 in the front, we could adjust the Val CA to that level.
19) Maybe you should get a -1 on your die roll with the TBA if the target has a shield magnified? What do you think?
20) not sure right now.
