On the subject of crippled was there ever a definitive (man in red) answer to the question of what firing only one weapon While attacking meant? Were all available weapons still available for defence against drones and plasma?

Another query about shields: does the level3 Dilithium chamber critical and/or the level 5 and 6 shield criticals prevent you from using the Boost Energy to Shields! special action? They have titles of Shield failure, Shields Down and shields offline.

That's what I thought. If you can evade though is it against a ship or a weapon system? i.e. if a Gorn cruiser fires two type s plasma torpedoes and two type f should I roll one evasion attempt or four? The rule just says you roll to avoid seeking weapons so I assume it is one roll. It's not a...

A query about evading drones etc. If you fail the cq check for take evasive action you don't get -1 on the enemy's non-seeking fire. If you fail this check can you still roll to evade drones or did the first failure mean you cannot? Also would this roll be against a ship or against each...

Look closely and you'll see there are thrusters where the weapons used to be. Hence you don't lumber anymore :D

I like the way these are atypical Federation colour schemes. Some questions; what colours have you used; this looks like the best 'Federation grey-silvery-white' colour I have seen. Are these staged photographs or are they from an actual game? Where are the rest of the pictures? Come on we...

I don't think I made it clear what I was asking: does the ship explode at the end of the next movement phase (the first, less serious explosion) or immediately (the second type of explosion)? The chart just says 'Ship Explodes' but there are two ways it can explode. I'm assuming it is the first...

Another explosion question: When you reach the 'Ship Explodes' line on the dilithium chamber critical line what type of explosion is it? I ask because there are two ways a ship can explode. I've assumed it's the first type of explosion (the not quite so big one).

Minor error here; the kligons have (or used to in my day) have the stasis field generator (SFG). It didn't do any damage, was fitted to a grand total of four ships (B-10A, C9-A, D7-A and D5-A), and couldn't even be used by the Orion Pirates. It was fun to use, especially on a B10-A, and...

Wiil scouts have the SFB useful ability to break the lock on of Drones ? As for the solution it is good; normally a Kzinti ship would only have six drones in flight. As they fire and hit immediately in ACTA you can, in essence, have about twelve drones in flight. For the Kzintis that don't...

True, much as I hate to admit it there's no provision for when I go up against players that are better than me :wink: . I do think this is a useful system though (but it will never be adopted) I would say that I think the cloak is under-priced, Perhaps alter it to 15-20%? :) Is it me or do a...

That was quick :wink:

In the original weapons could fire at ships in the same hex or, at a penalty, the adjacent hex. Only ships with a Jerome (sorry about the lack of accents) drive could move. It was mainly about getting your x-ray laser missiles and submunitions where you thought the enemy was going to and...

Here, here As the rulebook is written there is scope for misinterpretation and someone who could officially rule on it is useful. Maybe we should just ignore what Matt says about not being god and assume he is. After all if I wrote a set of rules and people wanted some clarification I do think...

Which month would that be?
