Vid on how to use the module

The Cadet Training Manual and Cadet Training Handbook were done as a way to get players into the Star Fleet Battles game system. Generally speaking, the idea was to create "half size ships" which would in theory be easier and faster to play. Fewer rules, no overloads Free Downloads

A very rough module but it is playable

Primarily added The manual (scenario/rules) and 8,16,32 impulse chart SOPs

Primarily added SSD text damage functionality. You can record damage on the graphic but is not auto-tied into the DAC. Also added ctrl+shift+numberpad as a way to move pieces.

Primarily added maps and the saved games for the scenarios as well as some tool bar clean up

* Had to remove as something went bonkers and somehow the old text ssds were somehow saved over the graphic ones. I've restored to a backup but lost a couple ships and am remaking. - - - - SSDS damageable graphically instead of by text. Half the ssds are done. Fixed Range counter. Re-saved the scenarios with the new ssds. Redid text damage so text is on a white background.

is V4 with the errors corrected. - Fix Range Counter, Add graphic damage ability instead of as text to a few SSDs.

All Cadet ships are now converted to graphically damageable SSDS. 4 full size ships are now added Klingon D7, D6, Federation CA, and Orion Pirate. Found and removed the annoying "unchecked" label from the list pieces window.

Added Player sides and a player SSD window, turned off the annoying auto zoom, rewrote the Rules and scenario sections to refer to the Vassal module locations for things instead of the original paper and pen stuff, re-saved the scenarios with basic EAF labels on the spreadsheets(show data). Added 2 scenarios as preloaded full scale SSDs instead of the cadet ships. ADDED a Q-ship to make replaying the attack the freighters scenario more fun.

is a minor fix of 7. The 16 impulse call had an imp 14 showing up from nowhere after imp 16 and before 1 that needed to be removed from the list.

Added a BUNCH more CADET SSDS Fed/Klingon DN's for instance. So HAPPY 49TH STAR TREK Anniversary!! Had to re-upload the file because I forgot to retire as a player when making the scenarios and this rendered those "sides" unusable by other people.

Added a few more SSDs(mostly Qship and Bases and 5 others). Changed the Orion/Wyn Sheet, Drone sheet and Weapons sheet for better visibility and understanding. Added a missing weapon table. Put cloak costs on cloakable ship SSDs. Fixed an incorrect TurnMode on one ship. Added a CADET Orion DW with option mounts and engine doubling to be more like real Orions.

Rewritten the scenarios with corrected numbers for examples and for some scenarios added pictures into the explanations due to an earlier map update. Changed pull down menus information Tables/Charts and scenarios. Put the max range limit for the disruptor ships on the SSDs &added this to the weapons chart. Learned how to save spreadsheet column and row header and filled these in for all SSDs. Changed the Cadet DAC to allow control spaces to be hit after excess damage. Updated the graphic of the Cadet DAC. Cleaned up the damage menus on a few ships A couple ScenariosRules had a copy paste error in the text. Added Conceal Masks for all races.

Fixed a couple menu entries. Fixed a minor Frax player SSD Area issue. Separated the Sequence of Play out of the 8/16/32 Impulse Speed tables so that speeds no longer shows up on every SOP step. Updated the Vid links in the Help Intro section. Customized the Default Ea Forms for All ships. Misspelled Laboratory as labratory everywhere. Fixed Fed DD error. Added A Gorn DN with Mixed torps S,F,F. Put Example drone load outs on the EA Form for most ships. FiringArc, EW, ESG Overlays. Separated out the robot rules into it's own tab. Created interactive charts. Put the Robot Rules into a quick access window. Sorted the Info Table drop downs to be alphabetical. Made a simple form of SOP that can be dragged onto the map or ssd area that works like the paper version would. New SOP echos to Chat. Rearranged the Top bar menu to save space. Updated the Tables some. Added a reference tab for an index and abbreviation list. Added a tab for boarding parties per ship type & for Tbombs

Add quick access ready thinking no action SOP buttons(with sound). Modified 2 ships Fed CA DD added 2 ph-3s. Added a Klingon DDk (non drone cruiser DD). Moves(previous location) and change label no shows in chat. Sounds for Dice rolls and SOP action steps added. Drones & shuttles can now change label so speeds can be set more visibly. List of "rules by scenario" and "Note for Full players" added. Interactive DAC. Labels on counters are all green colour to be more easily seen on both white and black background maps. Added 2 ships Lyran CL, DD.
