That's a valid point; it does increase the power of boresight. You have to work a LOT harder to make boresight a liability. The Dilgar pentacon rule, as was stated earlier, may require a rewrite, or they just lose it altogether. On the other hand, they also become more powerful, as pentacons...

Remember Ripple? He used to complain mightily about the Weak meaning you couldn't use Snakes for interceptors mightily. He had a good point, too. Especially given how wretched the Nightfalcon is.

No offense meant. I remember looking for an answer to the sinking meta-issue a long time ago, and it still stands to this day. Any answer is worth a serious look-at. At one point, I thought a bout a system of initiative in which if you rolled a 4 (race +1) for net 5, you remembered that...

Actually, it's extremely hard to do it as written; the ships that could be affected by the Breaching Pods can Fire, and (more importantly) move before the Breaching Pods attach. This allows for fleet reorganization, moving out of movement range of the pods (which is typically pretty small) and...

And old blast from the past checking in, and wanting to remind anti-Vree players that Vree, if using Super-Manouverable, are moving at or less than half their speed. This makes them EXTREMELY vulnerable to Launch Shuttles and Boarding Parties. Vree that forget this fact are annihilated, as...

I'm a software tester by trade, so I'll give a quick pass at it later for (If you want): Browser testing -- IE 6, 7 -- Opera -- Mozilla -- Safari UI testing -- Resolutions -- Handy/Mobile-capable -- Color-blindness Google testing -- Google -- MSN -- Yahoo Concurrency testing -- 25...

Has lots of potential.

I've just (very briefly) looked at katadder's expansions, and, if we were to do it really fully and truly with massive testing and everything, there's 1-2 years of fan community work out there to be done. Some stuff for future expansion are already out there, too! I seem to remember that Fleet...

That's because I've been working more on the P&P product, and I'm usually one of the curmudgeons. Actually, I honestly haven't had an opportunity to look, and wasn't going to quickly as I expected fan-based publications to have a great deal lower priority than official ones. But, now that...

Agreed. If I hold anyone responsible, it's Warner Brothers, or, possibly, if he has all the rights, JMS. You have to understand exactly what the value of the product that you are giving license for is worth in order to set a fair price about it. Just that straightforward. In this case...

If this is supposed to be a more open system, that includes points, there will be significant room for ACTA development in a user community. True points systems will allow for "tweener" ships, such as the 2nd Edition original Demos, the G'Quonth, the unaltered Vree, the Assault Hyperion, the...

Where can we go to get confirmation of this? If we had elections on team members for a annual or biannual balance/tweak project and a free ACTA update for B5 ship universe, would this be legally acceptible? Voting members couldn't be Mongoose, likely, and would need to conform to ACTA system...

I like the Rohric! What's wrong with 'er? The Khatrik .... OK, so you're right there. Let me see if I can make an alternative.

Guesses on optionals: 1). TBS 2). Redundancy 3). Point system port from ACTA:v2 to ACTA:B5. Legal question: If a fan base starts an organized, distributed, but free set of rule enhancements and playtests of an old expired product by electronic media (PDF), is that still permissible after...

Da Boss, Clarifying: As far as I understand it, P&P is still a go. Is that your understanding, too?
