    ACTA - I want, I hate, lets adjust

    Well, I did think of one idea for solving initiative and init sinks (well stolen from another game at least). Use the Battletech init system for movement, where the player that won init will always get to move something last, no matter how badly outnumbered. Say for example Player A had 4...

    How to nominate targets and open fire with a squadron?

    Have to agree with Hiffano here, and I will also comment that I have done horrific damage to people in big fights (5 point Battle and up) by squadroning the big ships together (usually Primus being a Centauri player and all) and leaving the smaller stuff seperate to be init sinks. If I win init...

    B5 Licence will not be renewed in 2009

    And just as I was considering doing the opposite, converting BFG ships to ACTA rules... guess it could still be done... I even started on the Chaos and Imperial fleets, just haven't gotten to playtest em much yet. So I figure we will be relying on fan-made supplements from now on... (well done...

    Help with a new fleet (Centari)

    Well, Elutarians and Sulusts are good for some long range firepower (them and the Adira is about all the long range stuff we get). Centurions are good against fleets lacking interceptors, but then you could say that about the whole Centauri fleet. Darkners or Morgraths are great against fleets...

    Spartacus class corvette

    Well, the upside of Omni-Tech is you only have to build 1 chassis and then the bits for all the variants, rather then a whole ship for each variant. Repairs would also be easier, the downside though would be that bits that are designed to come off might do so when you dont want em too (when your...

    How about the Nike-Class Cruiser now?

    you may want to edit the arcs on the pulse cannons, so they dont read as all Fore arc ;)

    How to start Abbai?

    Apart from the interceptors changing and the shields trait being added, the weapons and stats on the Juyaca are pretty much the same as 1e, and speaking as someone who has had to face them a few times, they are a prick to kill. The Lakara I'm not so sure about, any fight in the campaign I'n in...

    Question About Convoy Scenario

    The one convoy raid I've tried so far with 2e rules was played at Raid PL, with Centauri attacking an Abbai convoy, and the convoy ships were wiped out in the first turn. 2 Vorchans, 2 Demos and 2 Maximus demolished them, and only 1 abbai ship got to shoot back. Granted it was a Bimith which...

    Lack of fighter cover in Centauri ships.

    well, either bring a balvarin or more Maximus. Personally I'm quite happy with having a Fleet Carrier at raid PL, and you could always take a few wings of fighters on their own. ;)

    Third Age EA changes; yays and nays

    A ship may only make one turn, and cannot move after it has turned. And yeah, I love what they've done to the Centauri, made me rethink tactics a bit, but Vorchans went from near-useless targets to OMG! Which can only be a good thing

    Armageddon Challenge

    I've had a few games with one armageddon ship vs my Adira, and so far it's killed a Victory, Ka'Bin'Tak and a Nemesis, and only the Victory took it under half its starting damage. In the campaign I'm in my adira is hunting down an Abbai Brivoki, hoping to add it to its list of kills. But yeah...

    Anyone had any Luck with the Psi Corps?

    I'm currently in a campaign playing Centauri vs an Abbai and a Psi Corps fleet, and the Psi Corps was doing pretty well until last turn, when he had to fight both of us (he attacked my Industrial world, the abbai attacked his) and took a bit of a kicking. He still holds 3 of the 7 Targets...

    Where's the toughness

    The T'Loth is healthier then all but one of the Centauri ships, which is pretty good for a Raid ship. I was a bit surprised about the damage of the G'Quan though, thought they'd make it a bit higher then 55.
