Come join us as we discuss all things Space Combat!  

Back before covid, back before Starfleet Tactical, Chris Weuve and Alec Peters had a conversation on the bridge set for the USS ARES:
Chris: "What's this console?"
Alec: "It's the Fleet Operations  console.  ARES is configured as a fleet flagship."
Chris: "What does the Fleet operations console do?"
Alec: "I don't know."
Chris: "I do. Would you like me to tell you?"

The result was a four page document, with comments about the script and the aforementioned Fleet Operations console. The script comments are still embargoed, but Alec has given Chris permission to share his comments on the Fleet Operations console. Complete with pictures of the ARES bridge set!

STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.
