But then the modules started to release Federation destroyers with plasma torpedoes and Romulans with drones...and by the time module 4-5 came out, SFB had lost its focus and became one of the worst examples of "rules wars" I can think of.

ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

SFB did one thing right. They FINALLY removed the Romulans and Gorn with drones. Left them the plasma torpedo. (That is canon for the Romulans at least.)

At last count (and I will admit I do not have all of the modules) THere were over 1000 !!!! pages of rules, ship lay out forms, and etc.... This isn't rules war...this is rules EXPLOSION!!
