I think several of the San Jose players would be interested. Will you still stick with your planned "twist" of a minimum one FAP of fighters? If yes, I will have to leave my Drakh at home and either choose a good fighter fleet race or anti-fighter fleet race (e-mines or good anti-fighter)...

I have not been following the thread carefully but I am a proponent of playability and balance over dogmatic adherence to the details of Star Trek or any other TV/Movie series. Cloaking and detection can be adjusted in a game system to help ensure good play and balance over "realism" (whatever...

I took a 75% Lt; 25% Hv split more for flavor and fairness ina casual game; my preference is 100% Lt. The Lt Raider IMHO is clearly superior with better dodge (+4 versus +5 is huge). speed and manueverability. Of course, I am looking for lots of crits with the Lt Raider. In one game against...

LOL: the opinions above were broken and a waste of space. IMHO, it is somewhere in between. Without huge hangars, the Drakh Carriers are nothing special and the Raiders individually are not superior to many other Skirmish ships. Furthermore, those extra ships count for victory points. I had...

Personally, as the Drakh in a 4 pt Raid, I would have taken 2 Ma'cu Carriers each with 4 Raiders each in their huge hangars giving me a total of two carrers + 8 Raiders (far more firepowe!) rather than 1 Lt Cruiser and 6 Raiders. In my opinion, the Drakh need to use (abuse) their carriers.

Adira put together, needs paint! Wow - Good to hear from you!!! Rumor has it that you had been kidnapped by either a professional ski team or wild Japanese women or some combination thereof!!!!

Well, your event but I would be cautious about free-for-alls. Someone is going to feel picked on. 1 on 1 & Call to Arms seems an obvious choice. Random teams sounds interesting. Some interesting teams might be possible: Drakh & Abbai; Shadows and Brakiri; Centauri & Narn; Cats & Dogs; ....

I was thinking of using a Corumai as a proxy also, Its huge. I also have a Drakh Mothership and a Centauri Adira ready to be painted. As 2 war level ships are usually better than 1 Armageddon, I would require them to be Armageddon level but allow proxies (other ships, painted bricks, etc.)

1 War + 1 Raid is also an excellent combination and would likely be a lot of fun. However, I kinda of would like to see some Armageddon level ships fight it out. I would allow players to have a War level ship proxy for an Armageddon level ship.

Just thinking off the top of head: 1) Battle of the Titans - Only 1 ship per player or only 4 ships per fleet 2) how about a scenario where no two ships in one's fleet can be the same 3) Ban certain "broken" ships from fleet lists 4) Pre-set terrain and see how people do with similar...

I believe there was an earlier thread about Drakh tactics that you may also find useful. I had a Skirmish against the ISA at a tournament where I brought a Ma'cu and 1 Light Raider. The ISA brought 2 White Stars and 2 Blue Stars. He tried to blow-up my carrier on turn 1 (smart move) but...

Tsk, Tsk, just because you don't like our new Liaiti Advanced Cruiser. Well, the Great Centauri Republic can stand alone!!! Genetalis Minimis Centauri Fleet Command

I have not been playing B5 ACTA for that long but I started with Drakh and I have branched out to Centauri, Brakiri, League & Vorlon fleets. My earlier Drakh observations regarding your toughest opponents would be (in no particular order): 1) Earth Crusade - I don't care what people say -...

Thank you - that is consistent with the phrasing of the escort trait as well. Robert

Another Rules Question. Say I have 2 Primus & 2 Maximus in the battle and I am facing 2 Apollo's or some other missile barges. Apollo 1 fires its missiles at Primus 1 and I declare that Maxumus 1 is lending interceptior support (within 8 inches; guardian array ability). Primus 1 returns fire...
