I am going to... I am really going to. It's just sth different then I expacted. I really liked the boarding actions in ACTA 2 where you had to cripple your opponent before taking his ship (or at least you had to block path of his hulking dreadnought with your own squadron of assault ships...

I don't like game balance being shifted towards boarding actions. Boarding actions in space are no better idea then boarding actions on submarines. I understand that it is because of the setting... But I tried recently F:A and massed, successful cruiser boarding action against my undamaged...

I just hope "this ain't Star Trek" ;)

1 thing I want to keep: FAPs - simple and effective system which makes BaB5 different from BFG or FT 1 thing I hate: seperate weapon systems in each arc. Ships act like some wooden ships of the line with tens of guns pointing in one direction. Reduces strategy to avoiding getting your fleet...

How much for hull 6 is wrong question. It should be 'how much for hull 6 with 40 damage'. Or better 'How much for hull 6 with 40 damage, 12 speed and agile 2/45 turns'. Of course cost of shields / interceptors should vary depending on hull. The point-tables become a bit complex and...

It does not hurt that much if you have your brain removed...

In other scenarios you can simply run away with smallest of your queens. Isn't it still in the fleet ? :D

Hi, one tricky question: when a Gaim deceides to keep his only queen in hyperspace how will it affect his queen-less fleet in normal space? Shouldn't they suffer CQ and initiative penalthy?

I am working on a rating system - when I'll have it stable I'll publish it somehow. Of course I'm eager to see your system, too.

A space cat for everyone:

Demon class (hunter-killer cruiser)

And a lot of them...

Hail everyone, I'm working on a ACTA MOD that would enable creating your own ships. Apart from having discovered some strange things about ACTA (like Drazi sunhawk being twice weaker the PAKs) I got an idea of new weapon system: Missile fighter, dogfight: -, Traits ??, speed 12", SM, no weapon...

I see. ACTA becomes board-game. Perheaps it's about time. Mongoose minis aren't too cool really - a bit retro I would even say. All ship variants looking exactly the same. Check on the modern technology of minis production - glueable hard plastic each model being really a multivariant. I...
