If your argument is citing flavor text - I'll cite some flavor text of my own - also on the same page - the text for Torpedo Bays implies Missile Salvoes are all well and good but Torpedo Salvo's are the real problem case for a ship's captain. However Torpedo bays launch 1/4 of the number of...

As I read the core rulebook - EW only affects missiles. While the core rulebook only deals with Missiles as weapons, it does reference HG for non-standard missiles. The Section on Torpedoes in HG makes no mention of EW, except for the Anti-Radiation torpedoes (which implies the defender can...

As I read the EW step I can only find that it affects Missiles. While this text is in the Core Rule book, where only missiles are defined - the core rulebook does point to HG for advanced missiles, but makes no mention of Torpedoes in the EW action. In the HG section that discusses Torpedoes...

World builder Handbook lists it as + Atmosphere T5 1.0 lists it as + Atmosphere Not suer when the change was made - but that's the most up to date versions.

Add "profession (Dog) 1" to its skill list

I feel those TN limits are too low - I think in my game I'll lower the threshold by 2 so Expert/1 only helps up to Average tasks

Also dogfighting occurs at close and adjacent ranges. Spacecraft of over 100DT suffer an automatic -6 at these ranges, and then there is the dogfight test itself at which the thrust applied to dogfighting test is a positive DM - wining the dogfight test allows firing forward mounted fixed...

Cool Thanks - Fun Listening to other ideas.

I envision a smoke filled room somewhere in the heart of the Impirium with a bunch of Admirals, their aides, and several cigars - arguing over the practicalities of adding fighters to the 1M DT ton Battle rider design.

I forgot about the Duamu - that makes a lot of sense.

Some other things to consider. While technically within the rules I have a problem with any ship of a 1M DT attempting to skim a gas giant, or attempt a water landing to wilderness re-fuel (personally I cut the line at 5000DT but that is a different discussion). Also without a launch tube or a...

I'm not sure what you are saying here. I took the fleet order of battle from the new 5FW book, which clearly lists deployment of two Battle Rider Squadrons at Jewell - I double checked and I don't think I mixed up and accidently misused the term Battleship and Battler rider - can you be...

Yeah - I was too keen to use the secondary weapons - which were useless, by which I had entered the Hadrians kill window and it was hopeless - only some bad rolls on the part of the Hadrian spinal weapons (I rolled two 3's in the first round and a 2 in the second - so over two rounds only two...

The Meson is the standard design in HG2022 for the Hadrain. The Fleet rules do not include the extra -3% per armor factor that the description of the Particle Spinal includes. Against the Gallak - DV48 - 5AV = 43x1000 -3%x17 =20k or so - still enough to wipe the Gallak in one hit

I was using the standard designs from HG2022 - and didn't make any of the optimizations I would have though made sense.
