We have a lot of posts in this thread. All I want to know, officially, is how PD is supposed to work, and with that how the penalties carry over. With the rules, as written. I'm still not clear.

Well, regardless, how do these point defense rules actually work ?

I was getting this. Now I am confused. We really need an example I guess. Or, at least I do. I read phavocs post again and his suggestion makes a lot of sense

I just re-read it. now I'm not so sure. After reviewing it, I am thinking the individual shots all count as reactions. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Again, PD is hugely important...I really want to understand this aspect of ship combat

What? Travelers drink alcohol

Anyone know when the character creation software from RPG suite is coming out, or at least coming into beta? It really looks great but I was wondering how it was coming along

this is how I understand it. Hopefully we can get confirmation from others on this

This would appear the case, but maybe Matt will clarify. Here is my understanding: Firing on another ship: counts the turret itself, and each turret can only fire one weapon on another ship. (Of course, like weapons can be linked and fire together). As a reaction, any weapons that have not...

Perfect. This edition is becoming darned near perfect.

Please review the point defense revision on page 160. It is contradictory now, as it allows PD rolls at a cumulative -1, even against previously missed missiles (new), but still says "until he fails a check". So you've still got the old rule buried in with the new, and it can't be both...

Just downloaded the September rules version. Great changes made. But the Merc Cruiser is still showing 40 Hull. That's way off.

A wafer Jack is useless?

Uhh...probably because they needed an overhaul. Space combat was too long, too clunky. Just my guess as to the logic. Previous space combat system seemed broken. This one fixes a lot of what was broken. Play test it and see if you agree. I've done several battles with the new rules. No...

It is new. So far it has just been me and another. I am getting used to new rules, setting, etc. you are welcome to get in
