| The Solar Federation
There exists a rather vocal group of players in the VGAP community who swear that the Feds are THE race to play. Let me make it clear from the start, that I am not one of these players. I'll take the Lizards over the Feds any day of the week and twice on Sundays, but that's a story for another time. Today we're here todiscuss getting the most out of The Solar Federation who, while not my favorite race, do have a number of advantages to be exploited for fun and profit. (More)

The Imperial Federation
After reading countless articles on strategy and tactics for VGA Planets, I've noticed that one race that gets little attention and even less in the way of proven tactics is the Solar Federation (affectionately known as the Feds). Since I've had to learn their race tactics the hard way, I feel its my duty to share my experiences (including standard and games with add-ons) and save you the pain of making the same mistakes I did. For you veteran Fed players, I hope I may add to your repertoire of tactics and pave the way to more Federation victories. (More)

The Federation player in VGA Planets
I am a fairly new player to VGA planets, and I am still surviving in my first (a beginners) game as the Federation player (due more to luck and good allies than my planning, I'm thinking <g>). I have heard and read a lot about the weaknesses and disadvantages of the Federation race as a position, and I must admit, a lot of them are true. But I would like to stress a most important asset or advantage in the game - the SUPER REFIT capability. This gem can come in handy in various ways and in various stages of the game, and take the sting out some of the disadvantages of the race. (More)

Playing the Federation in VGA Planets
Federation in "Star Trek" is a more or less peaceful race trying to have good contacts to anybody. Because of a treaty with the Romulan Empire, the Federation is not allowed to have cloaking devices. This "original" Star Trek Federation is reflected by their 200% tax rate and their lack of cloaking ships in VGAP. The Federation is one of the most overlooked races in VGA Planets. They seem to be very weak and under-equipped compared to other races, especially the fighter races. (More)
