Any news yet or have I missed it?

Any news when this will be in stock yet?

Humm, how very droll. :D

Thanks, just ordered my copy.

Looks very nice from what I've seen in the preview. I only hope that there's going to be a dead tree version.

Surely how it works is "1d6+effect-4", the total is then compared to the table on page 150 to give the total number of hits which you then role on the location table on page 151? Therefore, the "effect" that is added to the damage dice is the "effect" to hit.

Having re read the quote, it appears to me that to calculate damage when you hit is "total damage= weapon damage+effect-armour" ie the higher you role over the target number, the greater the damage. Seams clear to me.

Maybe not such a leap after all after reading the comments by Mongoose Gar (Gareth Hanrahan) in the link below. http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=40849&start=0 I suppose that this is about as close as we'll get to an official pronouncement on the subject.

I’m not discussing the merits of whether effect should be added in space combat, merely whether the rules as written imply that it should be. Since effect not only applies to personal combat, but also to other areas such as the outcome of skill rolls etc. It would logical to assume that it was...

Given that the concept of effect dice underpins the rest of the rules mechanics, it would seam very strange if it didn't apply to weapons damage in space combat. I would, therefore, say that there is a presumption, IMHO that effect should be added. I also have a vague memory that someone...

I'd appreciate some advise on the effects of recoil in combat as I'm not sure if I've been handling it correctly. If we take the following example of a character who's initiative roll is 8. On round one, he fires a shotgun on his action (recoil of 2) and due to his poor strength, his initiative...

I’m a bit confused how agent programs work. It states in the core rulebook that they have a computer skill equal to their rating. Dose this mean that they are restricted to performing computer related tasks? Alternatively, can they also run expert systems like an intellect program?

Perhaps my question wasn’t clear. I wasn’t asking what the rules said but rather from a technical point of view, given how a gauss weapon is supposed to work, the use of DS rounds seams pointless. I wouldn’t have thought that there would be an increase in velocity and so no corresponding...

Why would you use DS ammo with a gauss weapon? Given how they are supposed to work, I wouldn't have thought using DS ammo would be any advantage.

I'd just like to say what a really good time I had overall. A great game set in District268 run by mrfringle in the morning. Also, I'd like to say thanks to all the players who took part in the game of Storm Warning I ran in the afternoon. They made it very enjoyable to run.
