StarMap Exchange Project


Since I've begun my StarMap Service about a year ago I've received many interesting maps. I always wanted to use them one day so I kept them in a save place hidden in a sub-sub-sub folder on my Mac :-). Anyway - right now I'll start the second part of my Starmap Service: the Starmap Exchange Project.

These maps below are the first few... Download them for free.

Scenario's


Federation and Empire II

F&E2 is a VGAP scenario based on the strategy board game FEDERATION & EMPIRE set in the Star Fleet Battles Universe created by the Amarillo Design Bureau and published by Task Force Games.
All elements of this universe have been recreated for VGAP. The map, ships, names, statistics, races, territories, fleets, weapons and more have been created and prepositioned according to the board game.
Federation and Empire pict

So for VGAP players, this means fully created empires with supporting fleets await your commands from the beginning turn.

The addons STARBASE+, RACEPLUS, TACHYON by Dan & Dave and FHOST by Michael Raith, are highly recommended for total mayhem and enjoyment.
This archive contains all of the files required for this scenario.
This scenario was created using Dan's Campaign Editor, PlanMap II by Bos, and PC Paintbrush by ZSoft. They are great tools and deserve your attention. The authors welcome all mail and discussion and can be reached at:
Mark Satchell ([email protected]) and Matt Clouser ([email protected])

The scenario file includes the following files:

FE2XHOST - contains an entire zipped host dir = EVERYTHING NEEDED 
PLYRDATA - contains ALL data needed zipped into individual player files 
PLYRTEXT - contains ALL (hopefully) text needed to undersstand scenario
           background, new stats, ships, tactics. zipped by player 
RESOURCE - new scenario specific DOS graphics by Matt Clouser (the best 
           DOS graphics!) 
FE2.TXT  - File description
Sample FedEmp Ships
Custom Ships
More info:
  • The file comes with DOSplan picts, but Winplan BMPs are also available - contact the authors.
  • The authors are busy writing a newer version of FE2 that is more balanced but essentially the same, and they're developing 3 new scenarios.

    What can I say more? This file is _complete_! All you need is 9 other friends to play this scenario!
    You'd better watch Mark and Matt, because they're doing for the VGAP scenario's what Dan and Dave are doing for VGAP Addons!

    Download the F&E scenario now! (Warning: 2.4 Meg!)
