I try to avoid fanatics of any stripe. I find them tiring.
This.
Hey, I've only worn my Starfleet uniform twice!
Dude! I ran a game of Federation Commander at a con last year. I spent a lot of time designing and playtesting a scenario for it beforehand with a few different groups and, after a bit of balancing, it was very well received. Romulan players liked the risk/reward involved with the experimental weapon system. Federation players liked the uncertainty/discovery aspect of the scenario.
Day of the con came and I had a full slate of players signed up. Sadly two of them were hardcore Star Trek/Star Fleet Battles nerds. One spend several turns moaning about how the scenario background was wrong because the Romulans wouldn't do that! And they'd never have weapons like these on their ships!...blah blah blah. Then both SFB players got ganked hard because they assumed some of the core rules between Federation Commander and SFB would be the same. They weren't and shields in FC are far less robust than in SFB. End result= total disaster of a session.
God damned Trekkies...Just shut up and play the game. I thought the scenario was pretty cool myself.
