Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys have ever tried painiting a Dazzle colour scheme. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage). I'm thinking of trying it out and would like some advice. So, any tips? Tom

Preperation. Get a printout for every ship ready before you start. Either bookmark or get a reference sheet of any tables.

All true, but they are backed up by very fast and mobile ships like the Hunter (and often Hyperions or Olympus') and fighters. Flanking is difficult at best. As for counters, use the civilian ships.

There's no reason beyond our expectation to keep the settings compatible. The B5 license is being dropped. That means they don't need to keep looking back and can use this as a fresh start. p.s. Trek would kick B5's ass because Trek ignores physics when it becomes inconvenient and B5 tries...

Form on Me! CQ check 8+ If the CQ check is successful the ship may choose 1 other ship within 6". The ships become a squadron from this point on. You may choose an additional ship for each point you pass the test by. Suppressive Fire. CQ 8 By careful coordination of a squadrons firepower...

Maybe a 'Mutual defense' order that allows the squadron to share AF dice like escorts?

I'm not going to quote huge chunks of posts that have already been quoted. I trust you guys to have the common sense to read the relevant stuff. and You know, Vorlons do sometimes face other fleets than Shadows. Against any other fighter the Vorlons AAF is extremely useful. The Vorlon...

I must be looking at a different fleet list to you. The Vorlons don't get as many special rules as the Shadows but they are able to use the special actions to great effect. The Vorlons 'Basic' ships have a good speed, excellent maneuverability, tough (when AA, self-repair, AAF and Redundant...

Browncoats vs the Alliance?

Sorry but 'Omegs' 'Nova' 'Avenger' Arguing about ST not having pretty ships then Earth Force is famous (infamous?) for making ugly flying bricks. I'm hoping its not Trek. I just think theres much better stuff out there, and there is plenty of ST stuff available.

I thought (reading a ST book at least a decade ago so memory might be fuzzy or wrong) that the cloaking detection thing was integrated into cannon as something akin to a weapons race. One side figures out a technique or piece of gear to brake cloak, the others side figures out how to counter...

I think the main problem is that the e-mine seems to be the rock to every defenses scissors. That and the fact that our groups Minbari player is a whiner :lol:

You'd be telling the fighters to be at a safe point outside of the planned detonation area, organizing it so that they can make their attack run then reach safety before the mine goes off. But there could be someone guiding the mine in to the correct position, fire by wire style or with...

I'd assume this would be done by ordering the fighters to avoid sector x,y,z to clear the blast. Same would be true for bigger ships. It does state in the fluff that e-mines were originally fighters so there's no reason why the mine couldn't retain a guidance system. My idea for e-mines would...

Of course you could just play a game of B5 ACTA without telling Warner Brothers.
