...as Clarke s third law says...."Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

"The beam remains collimated over a distance which varies with the square of the beam diameter, and eventually diverges at an angle which varies inversely with the beam diameter." :D In other words a laser beam disperses/diverges over distance. To the point where the concentration of the...

Good point .... :) All you say is perfectly reasonable..........I just hate the whole intiative sink concept in general.....and specifically how it affects boresight ships... I guess if some good 'fluff' could be developed for this maybe I would be happy......I mean its like the Bismarck not...

Everything goes 'full circle', :) I'm still of the personal opinion that if you really want to fix this without changing stats, adding SA or changing your whole move sequence then we should fall back on the concept of Full AD if in actual boresight, 1/2 AD if target in forward arc......it...

yeah....lovely, the 'squiddiness'.... :) ...almost gives your Vorlons a thirdspace feel.

This is a really interesting discussion...what i am getting is that people feel uncomfortable that the Boresighted ship is not directly (or near enough directly) facing the target ship when it fire, supporting the feel of the show.....if that the case i have nothing against that ...as I seem to...

Hi Triggy.....UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDS Don't you think making an SA applicable just to boresight ships is too much papering over the cracks. Now whenever facing a boresight ship (with a healthy Broadside) I have to second guess where it will finally finish up (arc wise). can...

This game has been consistantly rebalanced since inception.....whats changed now to make it an issue? Not suggesting that everything changes now.....but nothing wrong with laying the ground for the next evolution whenever that might be.

You move your Omega and shoot at my Vorchans, I move the remaining Vorchans and get some juicy shots on the Omega or another EA target that has not fired.....say the Avenger. If my squadeon has moved I move in a Primus and shoot up the Avenger....now you respond with another Omega, well the...

Guess some Ikarrans could be out there somewhere....the ones who escaped their genocidal creations......maybe they never discovered hyperspace, travelling in STL sleeper ships......even now approaching the warming light of some inhabited system......after millenia of travel, ready to...

Mine was inspired by Da Boss's warped concept of the Shadowstar :D

Thanks Ripple for the comments, please don't take any of my reponses below as digs. You have probably played this game much more than I have, and I respect your views, I just love tinkering with game mechanics and have a real passion for B5. (I really think the Drazi are not that stupid) :)...

Have a quick look at All Alone in the Night where the Agamemnon spears the Streib Ship Indeed Hmm not sure if I like the concept of giving a ship the potential to turn an extra 45' just because its boresight.....thats well open for rules abuse, You'd get the same affect by saying ok I can hit...

Oh yes for sure it is radical but probably something that could be investigated and maybe considered for another edition of ACTA....if you get the chance.... give it a go and see what you think...and what your likes/dislikes are.

You of all people should be thinking like a Shadow :D
