The fleet is up. http://www.btinternet.com/~david.manley/naval/VAS/Spain.pdf Please let me know what you guys think.

At its peek the fleet consisted of 2 dreadnoughts, 2 heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers, 19 destroyers and 12 submarines. Technically it was a modern fleet. Most of the ship's were in a good state. In a way the defeat in 1898 led to the spanish fleet being cleared out of most of the junk. The two...

I have been working on a Spanish Fleet List for VaS for a while now. I've tried to make it as historically accurate as possible using mostly internet sources in spanish and english but also a couple of books on the subject. It is now finished except for a fleet bonus and penalty to add some...

It should probably be eliminated altogether. Not so much for its effectiveness but the unrealistic effects it has on players tactics. Maybe it would be ok if they added a negative side. What if they made every ship roll to avoid accidently colliding with other ships. I mean if you jump in the...

The G'Quan :) Makes me think of wartiger. Just looks like it's ready for a fight! :twisted:

I started this thread thinking it would be a discussion about how to fix the ancients and that the question of wether they needed fixing at all was settled. Now it seems that is much less certain. My group has yet to play with much terrain at all. The majority of our battles don't even feature...

I really think any tinkering with the priority system is to much at this stage. We will probably beable to fix them without having to go that far. And going to a point system is like rebuilding the barn because the hinges on a couple of stall doors are loose. The fact that shadow ships are super...

Yeah I didn't think I had ever seen a shadow ship firing out of anything but the front. So we change the Shadow ship's weapon to front then. Does anyone have any more concerns or ideas on Shadows? It seems to me we have gotten a consensus on them. To make certain I'll restate things as they...

Maybe it is meant to partly represent the maneuverability of the ship and the overall technology level of the fleet.

No one else have an opinion? Come on, agree or disagree? Do you think I am a complete moron? Inquiring minds want to know! (ok mostly just me)

Gack :shock: , alot of posts since I checked a few hours ago. :) But so few people answering the poll :cry: . The thing is the Shadows still suffere terribly from the lack of adaptive armour. Even though they are SM and have an extra d6 of S-R they still get chewed up by ships of other races...

It has disapeared and died faster than a halfling in quicksand. Although it might get reincarnated.... So maybe a varient could be introduced that drops the PPC for a MSB? It could drop scout or stealth or even both as payment.

I thought the Shadow Scout never actually fired its weapons on the show. That is what I had been told repeatedly. So I figured instead of giving it some funky PPC crap give it a weapon we know the Shadows had. Also at raid level or below the shadow scout is pressed into service as the main line...

It has seemed for a while that the Vorlons and Shadows are underpowered. They simply aren't nearly as scary as the were in the show. I was hoping the tournament lists might fix them but they didn't go nearly far enough. I think the Vorlons are almost there but the Shadows are still pitifully...

"Fighters dodge or die." Well with that problem resolved I will have to come up with something else. Wulf, your idea of activating by wings or mothership definately could be a solution but I still don't think it is enough. While the number of fighters that get a chance to fire each round...
