Overview

Starfire 3rd Edition was a complete redesign of the classic Starfire. This was the third major edition in the Starfire series. Major revisions in the combat system resolves many of the issues with the original game, and included using a 1d10 dice roll system rather than 2d6. The ship design system remained the heart of the game, allowing players to design their own starships, and then engaging in battle against their opponents. A variety of systems, at different levels of technolgoy, allow for varying strategies and tactics. In 1997, Task Force Games, sold the Starfire game system to Starfire Design Studio, and they released electronic supplements for Starfire 3rd Edition. In 1998 Starfire Design Studio released the Starfire 3rd Edition Revised Rulebook. Re-implements: Starfire
