Star Fleet Battles: Electronic Master Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Captain! We’re under attack! The weapon made us change direction!

 

Yes, Ensign. That is the heel nipper, a weapon of the Carnivons. Bring us about and fire photon torpedoes!

 

2012 EDITION of the Star Fleet Battles Master Rulebook

 

The Star Fleet Battles Master Rulebook includes all of the "rules" (no scenarios, annexes, SSDs, counters, maps, or ship descriptions) from Basic Set, Advanced Missions, C1, C2, C3, F1, F2, J, J2, K, M, X1, X1R, Y1, and Y2. All rules have been integrated into a single continuous text, all errata have been incorporated, and some new clarifications have been added. The book also includes rules (S1.0) through (S8.0) and the (R0.0) rules.

 

NOTE: This is the RULES, not the rest of the game. If you don't have any other Star Fleet Battles products, you won't be able to play as you won't have the ship descriptions, ship diagrams, map, annexes, counters, energy forms, impulse charts, or anything else you need to play. If you are just starting, we suggest that you get the Basic Set instead so you can start playing immediately.

XXX!?! The same price as the Physical. Dang, that would be $115 after shipping for both. Come on guys, it's a digital copy.

Apparently per ADB's business practices, this master rulebook can be purchased in hard copy (3-hole punched loose leaf) for a 10% to 20% discount price from other online retailers. Give it a quick google search. That's a discount off the $50 price for the pdf here. The pdf is not included with a hard copy purchase.

Nothing I've found suggests this electronic version of the master rules contains links or text search for optimized electronic device use.

It contains searchable text, but no links. If you see a reference to another rule (e.g. "F0.0"), you will not be able to click it directly. You will have to enter "F0.0" into the search feature. This will, of course, step through all of the other references to that rule, in addition to finding the rule itself.

I have made a Python script which creates an improved version of the PDF document. It makes all the rule numbers in the document clickable. Instructions for downloading and running the script are here:

How many pages? Is this color or B&W? Is this set up like the old original version for printing and 3-hole punching for easy binder use?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
