Acrobat version?

I've noticed on some other email lists that the Acrobat plugin has been having problems reading version 6 pdf files, if the plug in is still from the v5 set.

What version of Acrobat were the PDF's done in?

Aroooo

No problem. Just doing my part to make sure Star Hero remains a viable genre.

I've also got the HD files with HTML counterparts loaded at starherofandom.com (http://www.starherofandom.com/h_traveller/index.php) for easy reference and downloading.

Okay, dumb Q&A, but the file name says model 9, but the name in the file says model 1. So, which is it?

Aroooo

New and Improved!

Well, sort of... The new and improved Starfury Aurora is ready for review. I've retooled the electronic warfare equipment, and tweeked the html file a bit. If it meets with approval, I'll crank out the rest of the ships. (Will be adding a section to the Ships section outlining the EW systems soon.)

Starfury Aurora is here:

Oh, there is one thing... has Ben been notified of this, for purposes of having it put into the Hero Links section?

No, not yet. I wanted to make sure it turned into a viable site before I asked. Since it seems to be taking off, I'll send him an email.

There are lots of things you can do for an introductory (one session) game. If you give us some details about your players (characters) I'm sure someone here can give you some specific ideas. For example, do all your characters already know each other or not? Are they planet bound or do they have a ship? Etc...

Aroooo

Fitz,

Let me know when you've finalized this. I'd like to put it up in the TE section of starherofandom.com when you're done.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. They are probably getting back at me for my dog chasing them around the yard... (like the dog thinks she could actually catch them)

On another note, your IPP finally delivered a bounce message on your subscription email. I'm working with them to get my email server opened back up to them.

Aroooo

Yeah, seeing it listed out I have to agree. I think singularity should be higher than mass conversion. Especially if they have teleportation tech...

Question: The linked 40k site lists armour as having a DEF value. What version of Hero was this from?

 

The Horror

Don't know. Someone mentioned the link on this site recently, so I just included it. I think its 4th edition. But I have to agree with nolgroth's opinion on this one.

Do you ever sleep Aroooo? Now you're running a page for Star HERO in general, as well as the excellent work that you've done on Babylon 5 for HERO. All I can say is that I'm impressed.

Sometimes I wonder myself Thanks for the kudos!

I tried to access the site and keep getting diverted to a seacrh site because the server cannot be found.

My DSL line went down for a bit. I've been working with my provider, and we can't find a problem yet. But I noticed the other day that a squirel was climbing up my neighbor's house, next to their phone lines, so I would not be surprised if thats the source of my problem

Sorry about that. I've activated your account.

My ISP and I are having it out with regards to reverse DNS lookups. Many email servers are starting to validate reverse IPs as a way to combat spam, and because my ISP is not picking up my reverse DNS info properly, some email has been getting dropped I hope to have that resoved soon.

Did the HD file get updated too? I downloaded it Sunday in prep for loading it at starherofandom.com.

And yes, for those interested, all the existing writeups are mirrored at the above URL, HeroDesigner files and HTML versions.

Aroooo

Don't sell yourself short - you were a big help!

Aroooo

That would be great!

Patrick J McGraw

Search through this section of the boards. I remember a long conversation about this very thing.

Will this just be a BB plus links, or will you be posting people's actual content?

I'll host folk's content if they don't have a web site of their own - or if they just want it hosted here for continuity. I've got a page up for Shadowcat1313's Traveller stuff he's been posting on this board.

Aroooo

Yeah, I know. A monumental task, but I'm working on it.

Aroooo

Yeah, for my B5 ship write-ups I've kept it simple with regards to Missiles. They are just RKA's with a delay rather than vehicles. Besides, this way they could be applied to any incoming fire, not just missiles.

I'm a little zoned right now, but one thing I just thought of would be to add a limitation: Requires Abort to Dodge action; meaning you could not use chaff & flares unless you could abort to a Dodge or Dive for Cover Maneuver. Certainly in keeping with the spirit of chaff/flare use. Thoughts?

Aroooo

Cool!

What about some sort of energy weapon with, say, 40 charges and a SFX of being able to fire small or large bursts, with the larger consuming more ammo? Maybe this could be a MP, but how would you build the larger bursts as consuming many charges from the shared pool?

That is actually in the FAQ. But that's not addressing the Boostable aspect. I like the approach Blue Jogger used in his Summon example.

Aroooo

While most things in Hero can be abused one way or the other, Boostable Charges is one of those things that, without the Burnout, would be too easy to abuse. Some things just need a built in ballancer.
