glad to see the forum is still up. looking forward to the next universe for ACTA. When will there be news.

Thanks for the reply Matt. Pity, I'd love counters.

Hi all, and especially Matt. Sad to hear about the end of B5, hope the new licence will be something good. In the meantime however do you think you will be able to do another counter set with the new ships not covered in SFOS. It will add a nice touch of completeness to this great edition. Thanks.

lol, thats right. Imagine the complaints from battles involving 2 ironclads. "We just sat there for hours and hours. His ship and mine at point blank range pounding away at each other. No shot ever penetrating the other's armour. No maneuvering no nothing. Just 8 hours wasted rolling dice and...

why not just make the small ships more expensive. If 1 Battle = 4 skirmish just try 1 Battle = 3 skirmish if its still not enough try 1 battle = 2 skirmish eventually you will find the right balance and it is a hell of a lot simpler and easier to play test than giving different PL's all...

Nooo, you should never say that, it just angers them more. What you should say is that you have aggregiously wronged them in the past for which you are truly sorry, and will gladly accept their right and just retribution for as long as they deem it right and just to dish out.

what doesn't sit well with you

Just enjoy the game as is hindsight. I'd guess that the knife fight has been put into the to do later list by Matt. You might see some more talk of it after P&P has been released and Matt starts thinking about the next supplement. The current whitestar is fine and I'm sure you will enjoy battles...

Boy you said it Chewy. I agree wholeheartedly and hope Matt doesn't pay too much attention to our "suggestions" on this forum (of course that means he shouldn't pay any attention to me writing that he shouldn't pay any attention to what I'm writing). I've loved every version of ACTA, and think...

They were I think. I didn't like them then just for the feel, I wouldn't like them now for the feel and the range.

I still am more interested in the effects of the new FAP. I don't remember critting being such a big problem before you got 8 patrol ships for every battle. The one crit change I might be interested in seeing is getting rid of the no damage control crit, that you can't get rid of. With less...

I like the Nova as is. A brick bristling with simple guns on all sides. I never liked the Laser/pulse mix, and giving it long range lasers on all sides would let it totally dominate a battlefield from the center. I like that it creams smaller less armoured ships but isn't really designed to take...

I like that EA is boresight. I like having to work with that weakness. If I didn't like working with weaknessess I'd be the first one on here not just saying why don't we have a special action negating boresight, I'd be advocating EA all Turreted beams. That would be really cool, and stop those...

If you only outsinked him by a few ships then it shouldn't be a problem with the new/old FAP in P&P. A battle worth of blue stars doesn't go that far with new battle points. I blame all those shifty drazi complaining about being punished for taking small ships grrrrr. :wink: Does your friend...

Ah right, missunderstood. Thought you meant turn as in your turn my turn, not turn as in.....well turn. It might not be such a bad idea then. I still think we should see how P&P affects the number of ships brought to battles. I am hoping this will do much to fixing this and the swarm problem...
