Donald Miller's Star Fleet Battles Page

October 31, 2003 (2 SSDs so far):

• Still busy at work, and ill with allergies. Things are starting to look better on both fronts, so maybe I'll have time to update this page more often.
• But I can't let Halloween go by without doing something... :)
  I have sketches for 13 ships (one of each race from 1-13), featuring a "Secret Organization" of each race, dunno how far I'll get, I may only get a few...
  I'll change this page when I add more, if it gets to be 6 PM (EST), I'm probably done...
• [Halloween 2003] Federation 0Xl Section 31 Tug+Scout
  The Federation has record of a USS Aleah, a tug which apparently never docks at any port. Whenever a Federation officer notices this oddity in the records, they are directed to ignore it, as the USS Aleah is under special assignment. The Aleah is actually under the service of Section 31, an ultra-secret intelligence agency in the Federation, whose job is to protect Federation interests at all costs. The small central section detaches from the main ship (taking half the shields with it), and acts as a special scout PF.
• [Halloween 2003] Klingon 0Xl N-5 Bane Hunter Destroyer
  The "Bane Hunters" do not officially exist in the Klingon military. Most members of the Klingon Empire are aware of the Bane Hunters existence, but will not discuss the situation with non-Klingons. The Bane Hunters are technically a branch of ISF, designed to seek and destroy all members of the "Worshipers of the Bane Fleet". The Worshipers of the Bane Fleet are Klingons in liege with Fek'lar, the Klingon lord of the dishonored dead. They also seek the Old Kings, who they believe have ties with certain powerful 9X entities. During the 0Xl time period, the Worshipers of the Bane Fleet found and made a deal with one such entity. They did not fulfill their end of the bargain, the entity became angry, and cursed the entire Klingon population (causing a change in their appearance). This caused the creation of the Bane Hunters, to exterminate the Worshipers of the Bane Fleet before they did any more damage (and perhaps to convince the entity to remove the curse). After the Worshipers of the Bane Fleet were forced out of the Alpha Quadrant (2Xe time period), the Bane Hunters' mission was altered to engage in the Great Tribble Hunt, then was disbanded before the Next Generation.

• I'll try to update more often (once a week sounds good), and don't forget the Smileylich 2003 Halloween page at the end of October!

August 15, 2003:

• This is the first update of the third series. This is more SSD Requests.
• [SSD Request] Generic 0Xs Light Monitors
  Someone asked for light monitors, so I figured it would be logical to take my old "tourney" monitor and make it narrower.
• [SSD Request] Hydran 1X FASA-like Command Cruiser
  Art Trotman (source of many ideas!) asked for an 1X Enterprise-type ship for each major race. Here's one for the Hydrans, complete with some Legendary Officers.
• [SSD Request] Borg 5X Tactical Cube (Godbox SSD)
  This is one of those ships that a lot of people have been asking to see for a long time.
• [SSD Request] Enclave 0Xs Module R10-style New Command Cruiser
  The "Enclave" race is a fan race by Mark McDonald & John Hall. Here, I take a slightly modified Sabre NCL, and add a rear pod to make a NCC (like many races do in Module R10).

July 31, 2003:

• This is the first update of the second series.
  This series takes my old "Banner SSDs" and tries to make them into "real" SSDs.
  Most of these little banners were not serious, so the resultant ship can be considered a "Joke" SSD.
  I may not do them in (chronological) order; I'm sort of jumping around.
• [Banner SSD] Chlorophon 0Xs Christmas Tree PF Flotilla
  This was the banner SSD for December 1999.
• [Banner SSD] Borg 0Xs Cadet Cruiser & Battleship
  This was the banner SSD for January 2001.
• [Banner SSD] Jindarian 0Xs Pebbles PF Flotilla
  This was the banner SSD for March 2001.

July 24, 2003:

• I have returned!
  I'm starting ten SSD series, and I'll rotate through them four times (16 SSDs each).
  This will probably take me 3-4 months to do (ending in time for the holidays).
  Here's the first update of the first series; this series takes TNG SSDs, makes them 0X tech, and replaces the mega-boxes with normal boxes.
• [TNG SSD converted to non-mega] Generic 0Xl Combat Freighter
• [TNG SSD converted to non-mega] Federation 0Xl Akira Class War Destroyer
• [TNG SSD converted to non-mega] Klingon 0Xl Bortass Class War Cruiser
• [TNG SSD converted to non-mega] Romulan 0Xl Scout

July 4, 2003:

• So we're finally here!
  These ships are one tech level higher than the 2Xr ships I put up earlier this week.
  This is not my normal 3X tech level; these ships use normal boxes and do not use the TNG rules at all.
  The PH-K and PH-L replace the PH-I and PH-J.
  The "AO" system is like an NWO that can duplicate any single box non-weapon system (so it can WARP, BRDG, SHTL, etc.).
  Since these ships can move speed 31 quite easily, you might want to consider using some sort of house rules to allow speeds above 31.
  The rest of the changes should be fairly apparent; I'm planning to go back and do Destroyer SSDs for all three tech levels (1Xr, 2Xr, 3Xr), when I do that, I'll describe fighters, PFs, and other miscellanious rules.
• [New SSD] Federation 3Xr Revised New Era Cruiser

• [New SSD] WYN 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] ISC 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• Tomorrow: We bump things up another power level.

July 2, 2003:

• [New SSD] Orion 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Hydran 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Andromedan 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser

July 1, 2003:

• [New SSD] Kzinti 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Gorn 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Tholian 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser

June 30, 2003:

• So, I take the 1Xr ships from last week, and "X refit" them to get 2Xr ships. I generally added 1 box to each grouping of boxes (once in a while I added 2). I expanded WARP and SHIELDS by 33%. I upgraded the phasers from PH-1 (the number "1") to PH-I (the letter "I"), which I used a long time ago for the "Revised Lower Tech" ships. The new phaser is the same arming cost as a PH-1, but has a better table. The PH-J is the replacement for the PH-3.
• [New SSD] Federation 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Klingon 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser
• [New SSD] Romulan 2Xr Revised Trade Wars Cruiser

June 27, 2003:

• [New SSD] Lyran 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] WYN 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] ISC 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• So, why all these generic 1X cruisers? The next set of updates (which build upon this) will move this up a notch in power level...
• And here's a couple of unrelated miscellaneous SSDs:
• [Misc. SSD] WYN 0Xs Converted Starbase
• [Misc. SSD] Hispaniolan 1X Advanced Cruiser

June 25, 2003:

• [New SSD] Orion 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Hydran 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Andromedan 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser

June 24, 2003:

• [New SSD] Kzinti 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Gorn 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Tholian 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser

June 23, 2003:

• This is preliminary setup for the upcoming Smileylich Independence Day SSDs.
  This first week of SSDs will be (for the most part) simple variants of 1X cruisers.
  The "1Xr" tech level means "1X Revised" (as in "Revised Lower Tech"), this will have more meaning as we move into next week.
• [New SSD] Federation 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Klingon 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
• [New SSD] Romulan 1Xr Revised Advanced Cruiser
