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.

I realized this and added it to my report.

Part 2 of 2 The scenario opened with the aggressor force Jumping in with a practiced precision just beyond the 100 diameter limit for the GG, and deploying their fighter screen. The defenders formed up, and went out to meet. Just as they reached “Very Long” range, targets began to resolve, and...

OK here is my semi in world narrative of the battle I ran (myself as both aggressor and defender). Part 1 of 2 In the latter half of 1103, Duke Norris of Regina was able to manipulate the Sector Navy to sponsor a multi-fleet exercise, to asses tactical readiness for the Jewell theatre to...
