O.K. Hopefully this will be the last revision before playtesting. If not just let me know where I screwed up :)

The Torvalus retained their large cilia-covered flatworm physical form which is capable of many psychic feats. These feats helped them master...

A section for the Hardened Armor rules specifically states: "Beam and Mini-Beam weapons hit on a 5+ and re-roll for further Beam hits on a 5+." It effectively prohibits the use of standard and alternate beam rules.
I was going more from AOG Babylon 5 Wars gaming material. I...
1. Shrouded Saber (Armageddon)
The Torvalus retained their large cilia-covered flatworm physical form which is capable of many psychic feats. These feats helped them master stealth which gave rise to a curious wagering on who could best each other's technology. The stealth of the Torvalus...
The mixed arcs thing wasn't too uncommon in the old AOG Babylon 5 Wars game especially with the Ancients. I agree with your assessment regarding the Shrouded Saber. The Kirishiac may be a relatively young Ancient race but they conducted a lot of wars against other Ancients, so their technology...
O.K. The below are Ancient ship designs but are rated at 1 Armageddon point each.

I appreciate all the help.
For the Knightship and its Hardened Armor, the 5+ to hit with Beams also applies to the re-roll for further beam hits, regardless of what system is used. On Hardened Armor, AP weapons will hit on a 6 and Super AP will hit on a 5. Weak weapons will never hurt...
I appreciate the feedback. I think I will amend the rules for the Knightship regarding beams although they already state that beams only hit on a 5+. The Wheel of Thought is a small, very maneuverable ship of the Mindriders which constantly pivots. I think I was writing rules for the Telekinetic...

Hello everyone,
I played B5 ACTA for about a year and stopped playing in 2008. I played the B5 Wars game from AOG before and after that time but am still interested in the Mongoose version. What were the published books for the B5 ACTA line? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Andrew
Hi,
I played the old B5 ACTA game, I guess about 3 or 4 years ago and wondered if there were any major changes to the system. I ran across a few issues when I played it.
1. Initiative.
2. Fleet Allocation Point system (FAP).
3. Critical hits.
There may be more but those top the list...
O.K. I have been away for most of this year from ACTA. I was curious to know what changes there have been to the rules, game line, etc. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Andrew
I wanted everyone to know that I am moving on from playing A Call to Arms (ACTA). I won't rehash all that I and others have said about the game but too many of our battles were too lopsided. As a result, we rarely had enjoyable games. This may change with the revisions coming out, so there is...
