FED FIGHTING FUND UPDATE

by Hazed

Money is starting to come in for the Fed Fighting Fund – thanks to those of you who have contributed so far.

The Fund is your way to decide whether Alan puts fighting back into the game. We’re using a sort of crowdfunding effort, with a goal of $500. The details of the fund, and how you can contribute, are on the Fighting Fund page here.

Alan has been drawing up designs for how ship fighting will work, should we receive enough money to make it worth doing the work. For those who remember blowing each other up back in classic Fed, the basics are going to be similar. You will outfit your spaceship with offensive weapons, missiles and several different flavours of lasers including a powerful new quad laser. The ship will need souped up engines and clever computers to enable the weapons to be fired. You will also have to consider defensive options such as shielding. The new ship gadgets which are already on offer when you buy a ship, jammers and sensors, will finally get a use.

I’ll give you more details when we get closer to hitting the target. So if you are eager to commit mayhem against your fellow Fedders, go and donate to the Fed Fighting Fund.
