>>43275429>>43275967As another long term SFB player, I have to agree with all these points. Personally I like SFB more than FedCom, but it's a great game.
My advice before buying anything, get the SFB cadets manual from DriveThru or the SFB website - it's free and it's very very good. If you like that, you'll like SFB. That's how I got into the game 20+ years ago! Never looked back.
TL:DR, get the FREE cadets manual and then decide, you'll be glad you did!
