    Got my Fleet Book and some issues with it

    I've been after them about that since the first printing. The ordering system for the weapons is totaly chaotic and near useless during an actual game. Some debate ranges vs. arc and I can see that under some circumstances but for the vast majority of the time I start by determining the arc...

    old fleet lists?

    Take a look at the Player resources thread at the top of the forum. My guess is that the ones you are looking for cam from Greasy's website, but if it isn't exactly what you are looking for you can still find all the older stuff there.

    ACTA Cards, what news? (and how's 2nd ed?)

    Define an OnClick event for the link and have it run a bit of javascript that executes everything you need. So sort of like this At the top of the page you have < script > Function doStuff() { doFirstThing(); doSecondThing(); } < /script > then in your page you have something like...

    Ship Viewer 2e features?

    No good deed goes unpunished LBH... :wink: As for the typing up of the new data, I would suggest an appeal to the community. Worked fabulously with the combat sim and I'm sure people would be more than happy to help out for the second edition stuff. Burger, if you define a format for a CSV...

    Ship Viewer 2e features?

    Ah well that's good. Any chance you're working in Bristol? My current company has an office there and it would be funny if it turns out we work for the same place... Good to hear.

    Anyone playing in Melbourne?

    Yeah, sorry about that. Probably should have made it clear which country I meant. From the response though it looks like absolutely nothing is going on over there. Oh wel.

    Ship Viewer 2e features?

    Actually, it should be pretty easy depending on your level of confidence in ASP programming. Did you create the ViewShip.asp or did you have MS Access auto generate it for you? Also, how are you storing the relationship between a ship and the fighters it carries? Do you just have a single...

    Anyone playing in Melbourne?

    So it looks like I'm going to be spending a bit of time over in Melbourne, AU and I was wondering if there is anyone on the borads from that part of the world who could tell me about anything that may be going on while I'm there. Any tournaments or fun stuff happenning that I could spend a...

    2e publishing suggestions

    I've been campaigning for that since the first release. It was one of the first things I did when I created the shipviewer since I find the listings in the books to be completely useless. That is highly debatable actually. For example, it makes sense to list the Torpedoes on a Xixx first...

    Missile Variants for the 3 Earth Alliance Fleets

    Pretty sure you can still use them, you just need to be aware of the In service dates of each of Missile Variants.

    Dilgar "Masters of Destruction"

    In that case, you go over to the Attack Dice column and increase the number. So for example if you wanted to have 3 Tikrit's fire their Heavy Bolters at the same target, just click on the AD column where it says 12 and type in 36 (3 X 12). the combat sim will then go along its merry way...

    Dilgar "Masters of Destruction"

    No, that drop down is for determining the firing order of the weapons. Fairly important when firing on a ship with interceptors since you want the interceptors to be used up blocking weaker weapons so that the double/triple damage weapons get through.

    Dilgar "Masters of Destruction"

    Well now you just need to select the ship you are attacking with. Specify the weapons it is firing. switch over to the defender tab and pick the ship that is being fired upon and hit the "fire" button. It will do the rest. Unfortunately, it does not exactly allow you to pick more than one...

    Dilgar "Masters of Destruction"

    The only thing you need to install is the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0. You can get it by going to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en. It is also part of the automatic updates if you run that every now and again. Once...

    Dilgar "Masters of Destruction"

    If you want to see the Masters of destruction rule in action, give my combat sim a try. It is a bit behind on the S&P stats for new ships, but it has the Dilgar down correctly and should give you a good feel for what you can expect from them. In essence, the Dilgar can hit very very hard under...
