Very nice work. I like them, and it actually makes me want to go build some of my own. Any plans on doing other fleets, or just other ships within the EA or Centauri?

Right now my fleet is composed of the following ships Omega Command variant Omega x2 Omega Pulse variant x2 Hyperion x2 Avenger carrier x2 Nova dreadnaught x2 Omlympus x4 I mainly only have access to the fleet box set as well as some extra models I managed to pick up. As for my opponents, I...

I'll be playing in a campaign soon as the EA 3rd age fleet. The races my opponents plan to play as, that I know of are ISA, Dilgar, Shadows, Crusade era EA, Minbari, and Centauri. My question is in this situation which would be a better choice to fill out the final battle point for the...

Well said

I love it, and the more I read about this, the more inclined I am to go ahead and pick it up when it gets released. I'll Probably start out getting a small force of US Marines, EFTF, or the Chinese PLA. But those will be small armies only, until they release an army for the US Army.

Having thought about it, I like the idea, that redundancy just ignores the first 6 rolled. I'll have to see if we can playtest this with our group this week.

Ripple, if I understand you correctly, you like Redundancy, but not the exceptions? ex. Raid level ship has redundancy level of 1. Ship will stop the first critical effect that it takes. Whether you wanted it to stop the 4-6 crit rather than the 1-1 crit it did stop. Am I understanding you...

I like the idea of Reduncancy. It would allow the larger ships to survive longer. I'd use the table craeted by Chewy, I believe Raid - 1 Battle - 2 War - 3 Armageddon - 4 However, I think I would have it that the redundancy requires a crew quality check. The systems may be there, but can...

I can see this rule as unbalancing the game in favor of the higher lvl fighter fleets. i.e Earth, Minbari, ISA, Narn. Fleets with weaker fighters will be affected, but in not as much of a way. League fleets, and the Centauri whose fighters suck, will get screwed by this, as they won't be able...

I play the ISA. I have a dozen White Stars and 2 Victory Class destroyers. The White Stars were all next to perfect. No problems in the casting, and only minor flash issues. The VCD's on the other hand, were a problem. Lots of extra flash, with some casting issues as well. Nothing some...

I like the list. The idea is interesting, and seems to be something that the Dilgar might would actually do. I think I might try to get my group to allow me to use the list in our campaign. If not, then I'll just try to play a couple of games with it.

I'll get around to taking pictures of my fleet and posting them in the gallery eventually. I don't remember just how many WS were ever produced but I was planning on stopping my WS fleet at around the 60 that were at the end of season 3. Although the idea of havinf 250 of the little buggers...

The Ill-mannered person is indeed correct. Dodge works against the amount of hits scored against you. A weapon attacks you with 5 AD, say 3 hit. You would then roll three dodge saves, and any dodges that failed could roll for damage. BTW, I play an ISA White Star fleet, so I'm quite...

Yep, I run Leshaths in my ISA fleet. They fill a tactical niche in that they give my fleet a Scout. A powerful scout at that.

You know what. I've changed my mind. Lets lose Crew score, that way my White Stars don't have that weakness to them. Without a crew to worry about, I can take some hits, and come back fully repaired a few turns later. As it stands now, I'll still have to worry about crew damage causing my...
