Speaking of carriers, I was thinking carrier compliment (as the rules currently are for fighters and bombers) 1/4 being khangard and the other 3/4 being Bogatyr. Thoughts?

I was thinking of making Kurgan my second fleet for NA (first being Al-Malik) cause I love the idea of running their cheap carriers and fighters, bombers, and suicide craft. Based on the confirmation of how heat blasters work, what strategy am I to aim for using heat blasters to maximum effect?

Under the rules for Heat Blasters where it states "If a heat blaster causes any critcal hits, it will automatically raise the critical score of the crew location by +1 as well" Are my friends and I understanding it correctly since it says "as well" that in additon to any other critcal scored on...

We understand the concepts of how each vessel were to be used based on their abilties and rules, buts thats were we ran into problems. The Rashid works fine as an escort carrier as it is noted in its lore, the problem is how bad its staying power is. We tried using it in a defense role to sit...

From the playtesting my friends and I have done with the new vessels Al-Malik can have, the Wraith-class Stealth Destroyer and the Rashid-clas Escort Carrier, a normal Efreet-class destroyer and Asim-class light carrier do a better job. Anyone found a strategy or usage we didn't think of for...

My friends and I have pondered this idea and decided to throw it out there (hopefully getting no one in trouble saying some of these names, if so, sorry) We enjoyed the game system and models released for the Starship Troopers minatures game Mongoose had. Why not keep the same system set up...

That is our problem as well. That's why my friends and I are prying so much about the fleets so we know which ones to pick up (and put back the cash for) when our local distributor gets the book and models in. Are the Tholians just for scenarios or are they designed to be their own fleet? Saw...

My friends are also undecided in what fleet they think suits them best and I want to see if based on what you guys have said if we are picking the right fleets for us. For a good long range fleet that sits back and snipes at the enemy, go with either Klingons or Kziniti, Romulans for a good...

Do the Gorn or the Kzinti have anything else going for them? From that description of the Feds, Romies, and Klings, they sound feeble in comparison.

I have not been following Star Fleet updates recently and still want to get into it when it comes out. With all the races that are confirmed to be in the core rulebook and first wave of minis, how exactly is each race designed to be played in theory? Want to get an idea of which fleet I should...

Thanks for the update Matt, my friends and I have been drooling over the Vau after we first heard about them. Will the rules for the Vau be posted on the website like the Kurgan and the Vuldrok were or will we have to wait for the new Fleets of the Fading Sun book? Also, any truth to a rumor...

Any news on the Vau recently? I recall seeing how the old site said Sept. for a possible release date.

My bad, didn't have my book infront of me and off the top of my head remembered it being weak instead of inaccurate (always have your coffee before posting, lol.) Thanks for the correction and putting me at ease when fighting the Vuldrok. Now I just have to wait on the Vau and prepare to fight...

Given the Armor rules for the Vuldrok state "Weak Weapons can't effect an Armoured ship at all", any suggestions on how al-Malik can cope? I considered a pure carrier fleet full of bombers since they have no carrier of their own. I also considered just taking a number of stealthships and...

The rulebook fluff talks about the Emperor having his own armada. For those of you that played the older Noble Armada fleet game, did they have a fleet, if so, what were they like? If not, what would be appropiate characteristics of his fleet based on expanded lore?
