EV Nova is the third in a great series of space action/adventure games from Ambrosia Software, which came out back in 2001, and happens to be one of my favorite games of all time. A little under two years ago, I was inspired to combine it with one of my other favorite games of all time, ACTA...

Well, that depends on the opponent. Against the ISA and especially the Drakh, masses of fighters can be very effective in low-level battles. This is doubly true if it's a campaign scenario and you happen to know that the opponent doesn't have much in the way of independent flights. On the...

An expansion on the subject of Riva: Once they start firing, Riva are one of the best ship-killing fighters in the game. With a total of six AD, four AP at 2 inches and two P/SAP at 4 inches, Riva are truly superior at getting through high Hull scores and whittling away even the largest ship's...

Right, so mostly I just overlooked the parts that answered my questions. I do that much too often... Although I didn't miss anything with the Drahk. It's just, adjusting the FAP splits to limit swarms doesn't work as well when you don't need to buy down to field one. Dunno what to do about...

I'm pretty impressed with P&P overall. A lot of interesting tweaks and adjustments. Haven't had a chance to try any of them out yet, unfortunately, but that's only a matter of time. I do have a few questions, however. General Gravitic Shifters: After the first success, do subsequent...

Isn't the Fetula a Skirmish ship?

Alright, that sounds right. Thanks Burger!

And yet another question! Which would take precedence, The Minbari Other Duties "Vorlon Directive", or Drahk "Whispers Form the Shadows/Warmongering"? So far our best guess is initiative order, but I'd like a second opinion or clarification.

OK, I guess I should add what I already know. 1. There isn't currently a Vree player in the campaign. If there was, the wording of the Other Duty would not allow Vree ships to be chosen. 2. Fighters don't have Crew Quality in 2e 3. Ships with the Carrier trait regenerate 2 lost flights at...

Alright, say a Drahk player has aquired a Vree Xeel through an Other Duties Assistence Rendered roll. Can he replace any fighters the Xeel loses?

Just noticed that the Amu Mothership doesn't have the Kama're Sas Patrol Cruiser available as a swappable option. I imagine it doesn't come up often...

My group uses markers to denote boresight targeting. This helps to prevent arguments if the table is bumped, mat shifted, minis/counters jostled, etc.

Alright, that seems reasonable. Thanks!

Anyone?

OK, I understand how to upgrade a carried fighter flight from Sentri/Starfury to Rutarian/Firebolt in a one off scenario. I'm not so sure how that works in a campaign, though. I figure you can keep a pool of independent flights and switch them out as needed for individual battles, just like...
