Under the category of why not?<div><br /></div><div>Why? Well, I've been working on my "Things that go boom!" series for the magazine, relying on older stories from Star Frontiersman and Dragon magazine. To do this, I've been mining material -- and enhancing it -- from a much larger Word document where I was trying to pull together all sorts of different Star Frontiers combat mechanics that were published in Alpha Dawn, Dragon, Polyhedron, Star Frontiersman, Frontier Explorer and even Zebs.</div><div><br /></div><div>Issue 28 of Frontier Explorer even featured an updated combat system.</div><div><br /></div><div>This will just concentrate on ground vehicles. I have another thread where I've been playing around with aerial vehicles. The two topics (ground and air vehicle combat) will go hand-in-hand, but don't need to be in the same potential story.</div><div><br /></div><div>And, yes, I welcome anyone else's ideas to incorporate here. This is not theĀ old "Battle Hawks" topic -- I guess that was someone's idea of doing BattleTech for Star Frontiers -- but more for the small-action RPG feel of the current game.</div>
