I been trying all the email addresses all they are doing for me is bouncing. I
might give the USA office a call tomorrow.

I had a hybrid of the two I was using. PC ship and important NPC were always BL
while "red shirts" (friendly and hostile) were BR. If the PC's were fighting
the main villain it went all BL. I didn't quite codify everything down but it
mostly worked. I didn't like how big the hex grids were so was using an old hex
map from the FLGS I had used with the old FASA Star Trek Tactical Combat
Simulator with significantly smaller hexes and usually dice (d4) for the vector
markers. Never had enough of the RAFM miniatures to use, though.
Speaking of which, I emailed them at sales@rafm about more Clippers/modules but
never got a response back yet. Might try again here soon some of the more
unique email addresses.
