So I think we should come up with a common rating system for scenarios, so players can rate them and the best can be identified.
I'm thinking either a 1-5 or a 1-10 rating system, but I'm not sure what categories we should rate. What do ya'll think?

Balance: How well are the sides balanced?
Not necessarily a rating, but more categorization
Difficulty: How difficult is the scenario with regards to special rules, ship designs. (Beginner, Advanced, Expert)
Size: How big is the engagement? (Skirmish, Squadron, Fleet)
Length: How long does the scenario take to play?

I'm not going to attempt to write any scenarios for the later game version, as I failed to learn SSF back in 2014 and haven't been back since, and just got the PDF again this week. I am willing to attempt to provide 'training' scenarios, using the simplest of the game versions, and if that is ok, then let me know.
That said...
I'd setup a format something like this, for designing the things;
Game version scenario is for (or if it is good for more than one version).
Tactical, or Strategic scenario?
What is the point, if any, of the scenario? Teaching, having fun, setup for a series, getting the best score???
Fiction based.
Here is the story of what happened, and who can tell the best story based upon the bare bones provided in the scenario. IE, play the scenario out, then write up what you did and how things worked out, and the output of the effort is an enjoyable story for everyone to read, in addition to a fun situation to play out.
Then proceed from there with specifics of the actual Scenario.
More like a mini campaign. Mainly focused upon a single system campaign, so the incomes and bookkeeping don't get to out of hand.Cralis wrote:What do you mean by "Strategic Scenario" ? Are you talking about a campaign design?
