A Lazy Sunday.

This is Steven Petrick Posting.

Today was Sunday, so we all took the day off . . .

Don't believe me?

Sigh, that is why I do not tell falsehoods, I just lack that proper poker face.

We did take the morning off, but otherwise we were all here processing the mail orders and printing the special orders so that we could get them shipped out tomorrow.

SVC spent some time getting the next Communique ready, and I tried to do some more work on a campaign submission.

The author made a major error on refits, setting his campaign in Y178 and granting all involved Tholian units the Web Snare refit, which was not available until Y183. His background absolutely requires the campaign to be set in Y178, changing the date would pretty much make the campaign background unworkable, and I cannot change the date when Snare Refits appear (and would not do such a thing), and see no real need for a large "conjectural campaign", i.e., what if "X" had happened resulting in history being slightly different so that the Tholians had to do this operation in Y185" (to allow some spread of the new refit)?

Changing the date would impact other things (like why aren't the Tholians using PFs?, and if the mission is so important, why is there not at least one X-ship involved, and etc.). So I am going to have to see if the Tholians look like they might survive without the refit, maybe weakening the opposing forces just a bit (the reduction in BPV for deleting the snare refits is just not enough to justify giving them another ship, and the mission does not seem a likely one to assign a single prototype casual interceptor to).
