I was merely stating my personal figures for the J2, to illustrate that an equivalent craft would be significantly larger than what you have posted. If your exploration cutter were even 20dT larger it would be a more efficient craft for long term indepentant operations in-system. The J2 design I...

I think all of you are underestimating the size of the J2 and it appears there are several different styles of Chariot, a small (1 passenger with cargo), medium (3 passengers and small cargo), and large (5 passengers and small cargo) The Jupiter 2 has 2 decks and each is at least 2m high, bulk...

Hey, Spence, my reading comprehension is pretty high. I would like to point to a counter argument you have failed to take in to account. (emphasis added) So the paragraph DIRECTLY BEFORE THE ONE YOU QUOTED says that the fleet sets will go out BEFOREthe END of January. The retailers would get the...

+1 I thought about it and I'm done.

Okay, so you release a flawed product, make several changes to said product, state that all the changes will be incorporated into the next printing. However, we learn now that there is no plan to make another printing with the incorporated changes... "This document contains official updates to...

Each entry is a weapon system, so yes: Phaser-1 / 18 / FH / 2 / Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-1 / 18 / AH / 2 / Accurate +2, Kill Zone 8, Precise Phaser-3 / 6 / T / 2 / Accurate +1, Kill Zone 2, Precise Drone / 36 / T / 1 / Devastating +1, Multihit d6, Seeking is four weapon systems.

The odds of a single, non overloaded, Photon shot hitting a C8 and disabling it's forward Ph-1 is .5291%(1/189), that is a SINGLE Photon Torpedo (any ships carrying them have more than one, with the exception of the 85pt Police Cutter) may disable it's ENTIRE secondary armament!(the C8 is also...

Each Weapon System(Line Entry) is rolled as an attack, so: Ph-1: FH rolls, scores hits and damage, then PH, then SH, then T, then Phot to maximize crit damage.

You read Kill Zone wrong. It doubles the Multihit trait or gives Multihit 2. But the thing is, with my setup you still get 10 Phaser-1's in the F arc (for 10AD and in Kill Zone 8, 20hits), and a single lucky Phot won't turn the C8 into an overcosted frigate.

You're right, most Phaser's only have Multihit when in Kill Zone, but not all. Phaser-4'a are specifically: Accurate +2, Kill Zone 10, Multihit 2, Precise. There is precedent for a Phaser to have both Kill Zone and Multihit. @Iron Domokun, Your example is poor. Four Overloaded Photon Torpedoes...

Just noticed something going over the old FedCom SSD's. Technically the E4 and F5 should have it's rear Phaser's listed as AH. The D6 doesn't have Phaser-1's only Phaser-2's, unless that was changed in an ADB FAQ somewhere, it should be: weapon / arc / AD Phaser-2 / FH / 3 Phaser-2 / A,P / 2...

You are confusing yourself. Each Attack Die represents one weapon firing. Each weapon may or may not be able to score multiple hits. A burst from a Disruptor or a beam from a Phaser (when from close range) may strike multiple locations on a ship, hence multihit...of course Photon Torps and...

I would like to point out that multihit 2 is better than 2 AD of no multihit, as every successful HIT will remove 1AD of drones, so 1 success = 2 dead drones. A phaser-G should be good against drones but better on fighters at knife range. And if you really aren't happy how about this: Phaser-G /...

Asteroid Fields:"A ship may...Shuttles will instead..." Doesn't appear to affect drones OR Plasma, as neither are ships or shuttles. Even if they had to test for hits they lack to addendum to calculate the Crew Quality check like shuttles. However ships in an asteroid field gain +2 stealth...

Something that I'm seeing is that everyone wants the Phaser-G to have more attack dice, but, just like in NA, each attack die is a single weapon firing. Name / Range / Special Phaser-G / 6 / Accurate +, Kill Zone 2, Multihit 2, Precise There, a Phaser-3 that reflects the fact that it's a single...
