Is it possible to get the conversion system to translate the original Star Fleet Battles ships to ACTA stats? Damage, Shield, and Turn are the biggest questions.

Main book, pg. 79, column 1.

On the Dargan, August mentioned something aobut that near the beginning of the thread. He did not go for AOG's EW suite and instead portrayed it as an older light cruiser to which the Chameleon Suite was added to later. It's like the 18 MAR time period. There was some fan development of the...

If memory serves me: Twin-linked Plasma: twin barrels at the fore Pulse Guns: Larger turrets on the fore and flanks Lasers: Outrigger pods Particle Guns: Three smaller turrets (superstructure, hanger, engine) Interceptors: Usually not visible I don't agree with some of the fire arcs, and those...

I suppose we'll have to wait until the advanced space combat set comes out. One potential source would be AoG's B5Wars. Unfortunetly I haven't been able to find a reference to scale in the basic game yet. That said, in the example of the of the minbari molecular pulsars the AoG material gives...

Perhapes. But then the EarthForce GROPOS have rather large collection of air assets, yet Air Cav and Air Assault formations make up only part of the force. I questioned it since the job of a scout, especially as light as the Saphus, should be spot, report, and don't be seen. But then I chalk...

August, Looking over the Centauri ground pounders right now. What drove the decision to make them an air assault based force? Why some alterations from the AoG GROPOS material? Also wondering about the placement of mortars on an aerial troop carrier. As it's stated, it can only use them...

Now August, am I always that bad? Honest, I remembered to take my meds today. There are some issues I have noticed, but I will also endevour to include the high points I find as well. :)

UPS just dropped off my copy about 90 minutes ago. Giving it a look now and will get back when I can. Initially,...some extensive discussion on physiology and society, rules for prestige and what favors a centauri owes for that, some sub-races and selection of PrCs. Also an overview of...

Ahhh...but I remember them wearing Fleet uniforms as opposed to the brown (?) GROPOS uniform that was seen a time or two. Also, by the set-up now (for what it's worth) there is no seperate Air Force with the EA Army controlling aerospace assets as well.

That I do know. Wouldn't be much of a sergeant if I could grill my 'Full Bird Privates' on where there Specialist rank came from. But by the verbage in the book, this rank is given to civilian contractors seconded to the military, not a normal serving member.

Well it was an off the cuff suggestion. Otherwise keep the Fleet ranks and work on adding 2-3 new ones for the Army. Of course canon for Babylon 5 can be twitchy in some instances. I can remember a time or two when ship commanders were addressed by a ground force rank as opposed to Fleet.

Well there are some strange elements to the ranks given. From the given info, EarthForce Fleet does not have any enlisted personnel, only officers. :?: Don't ask me how a group of officers run ships the size of EA ones without some enlisted personnel. Guess shades of Star Trek. ...

Baiting by the peanut gallery aside.... :lol: I suppose it all depends how one treats EarthForce ranking. There are many instances in the show where they go back and forth between traditional army and navy rank structures, even within same field (ie., a space force officer position being a...

Same grade, different name. Like difference between a Technical Sergeant and a Staff Sergeant (E-6) between Air Force and Army.
