We're doing creeping campaigns, with the year advancing in the campaign if it lasts long enough. Our last campaign was 2260, so this one's 2261. I'll have to think about your ship suggestions, although I didn't have enough resources to buy much early in the campaign. There should be no issue...

Unfortunately, we're limited to 2261 in this campaign. Otherwise, I'd take many G'Vrahns. I had a few more G'Kariths and Var'Nics, but unfortunately, they've been picked off over the course of many battles. I might grab a T'loth, but it doesn't seem to have any real fighting power, aside from...

I've hit my own ships with emines several times, as I figure I can take damage far more readily than my opponents. It's probably going to become a regular occurrence. However, I can see not being able to hit your own fighters with mines, from a "spirit-of-the-game" point of view.

We're still early in the campaign, so we haven't fully formed alliances. The Minbari player, with his massive resources, might consider an alliance with me, since I'm the largest threat to him (Emines). I'm pretty sure that the Psicorps player won't be leaving me alone anytime soon, as he's...

I'm currently having some difficulty with my Narn in a five-player campaign. What I've got left: G'Quanth, Crew 6 G'Quan, Crew 4, 5 damage, 21 crew missing +2 Fore Ion Cannons, HLC upgraded to Fore G'Quan, Crew 4, 16 crew missing Long Range HLC G'Quan, Crew 4, messed up (sent back to...

I managed to board a Neshetan. He didn't like that. Are there any tips for general Narn tactics? I figured it'd be mostly sitting back and laser/emine my targets.

Thanks.

Does an energy mine declare an attack against its targets (and thus can be blocked by stealth) or does it simply attack them? The rules seem fuzzy.

Is stealth rolled per weapon system, or per attacker? The rules don't seem to be clear about that. Also, my Minbari opponent claims that an Energy Mine making attacks on a ship declares its attacks on those ships, and thus can be countered by stealth.

I'm not clear on how Energy Mines break stealth. Was the change in P&P meant to reflect that they can break stealth like any other weapon system, or that they break stealth regardless of overcoming the target's stealth rating? Maybe I'm not understanding how Energy Mines work?

Ah, many of my opponents come from the Games Workshop rules lawyer-y sort of gaming background, and for whatever reason, take every word literally. Having zero crew confers the "abandoned" status onto a ship, without describing what abandoned means. I guess it's time to start thinking logically...

So it's more about interpreting and adding to the rules? I guess I'll start developing some house rules then.

I played a game the other day where some Russian ships lost their crew to fires. The rules state that an abandoned ship may not move -- this means that it's still working as though it has a skeleton crew. Furthermore, the remaining fires cause no further damage. The ship cannot sink from such...
