Captain's Log #9

This 80-page 1991 edition moved the product further toward the current format. This issue is the only one that ever had a "theme"– causing a hundred people to ask, every time we do another issue, what the new issue's theme is. The fiction story GHOSTLIGHT (about a Federation fighter squadron) came along with an SFB scenario and a "behind the scenes" write-up, in game terms, of what was going on. The idea was to show writers how to make game counters, rules, and hexes into exciting stories. This issue also included the first-ever "class history" article (about Federation carriers). Also included for SFB are: eight more scenarios four new carriers an example of Federation escort storage a lot of articles about the Doomsday rulebook with designer's notes on the changes made and why proposals board 900-point carrier group battle forces and Ask Kommodore Ketrick rules questions. The SFB tactics section includes: the Tactics Board the largest selection of term papers published to date Vic
