It could almost lose the precise to be honest, the weapon seems more about the volume of fire then the precision against ship systems, blasting away at will with a gatling phaser it would make sense that some hits would be bulkheads, which currently isn't possible with existing phasers.

I don't have my books with me right now but if I recall correctly the Gravitic Shifter uses opposed CQ checks to see if the shifter works correctly. So concerning the new rules the Brakiri get does their new skirmish level Gravitic Shifter ship need to succeed in 2 CQ checks to get the damage...

This would be nice, it would also give everyone a true comparison to how the ships really stacked up against each other. However my concern is that the conversion will be a simple one like Patrol = 100 pts, Skirmish = 200 pts, raid = 400 pts, Battle = 800 pts War = 1600 and Armageddon = 3200 or...

Well Stargate is still ongoing in the form of Stargate:Atlantis. I don't know if Stargate is still maintaining the same level of popularity as when SG-1 was on the air but I wouldn't say they would have completely missed the boat.

When in 2009 exactly? Does this effectively cancel P&P? I know when West End Games lost the Star Wars RPG license they couldn't publish at least one book for the license they were currently working on.

I agree with many on the Star Wars and BSG issue. The bulk of the canon material just doesn't support more then a couple fleets. A Next Generation type license could work for a Star Trek minis games, though for races like the Ferengi they may be limited to scenarios or will have a heavily...

I'm sure the Dilgar and Vree would disagree that interceptors are far less valuable a defense. pak'ma'ra as well but at least they can create Plasma Webs if the conditions are right. The problem with factoring a redundancy that ignores interceptors is the few races that actually do not have...

Which you can only do IF you succeed the CQ 8 check to do a SA after you -2 from your roll because of the Comm Disruptor effect.

Wouldn't you need to 'roll' a 7? DC checks are 9, average CQ is 4 so with a -2 to CQ you would need to roll a 7 to repair (unless you have exceptional crews or SR) and last I checked a 6 is not an auto success on DC roll ( I believe the rules say 9 or higher but mentions nothing of 6 being...

I forgot about the -2 CQ check, given that most races would need to roll a 6 just to attempt a SA (and non-campaign pak'ma'ra will not be able to use SA while under this effect) and then need to make another CQ check at -2 for the SA roll it might be too much for an AoE weapon. With the -2...

Seems pretty balanced. Covers more area but drops a damage level and loses AP This seems okay although Comms disrupters themselves have always seemed backwards. They are designed to disrupt communications...yet only internal ship communtions are broken up (SA) not ship to ship communitions (a...

I think the big problem arises from more races being given this 'choice' in 2nd ed and some of the proposed ideas for P&P that would introduce even more. Some will start to feel that having a fighter heavy fleet (or fleets that rely on Dodge/Stealth/Interceptors) would be rendered pointless. I...

Well I am merely using the argument everyone else claims is happening. I myself never 'sat' at 18" and CBD so I don't quite know how the whole 'maneuver' works :D I would assume it has something to do with rapid deceleration, coupled with the rate of expansion in the universe and the effects...

Im not opposed to a tweak I just thought that particular tweak encouraged the wrong kind of behavior (specifically the sit back and snipe as it discouraged people from firing their Pulsars) I am still open to more ideas. My original proposal reversed the way it worked, if you only fired the...

Being one of those 'Colonial' ISA players I can say that I have never supported the widely accepted cheesestar maneuver of sitting back at 18" and CBD while sniping and nor to I want that practice to continue, please do not lump us all in the same category. Plus if you keep the original WS but...
