Thanks for the answers :) One other thing.. I bought the FFS module online on wargame vault, where the only feedback starts "This is a godawful lousy product." see here.. http://www.wargamevault.com/product_reviews_info.php?&reviews_id=82362&products_id=103393 regardless, I bought it anyway -...

Bought this many moons ago.. Actually read it now.. Few queries for anyone who can help. 1) Does range really not give any bonus / negative - unlike in NA:SF being over half range doesn't seem to do anything (I was expecting a -1 to-hit or something) 2) The 'Heracles class armoured cruiser' in...

Only came here looking to see if mongoose did a space station for ACTA. And... I see yet another game system dropped by them! It almost beggars belief they have any customers left.... To the poster: Full thrust is alive and well and delivers a good game.

Hi all, just curious whether there would be interest in buying my existing fleets? I have Federation, Klingon, Kzinti and Romulan. All very nicely painted. Just the 16 ship boxes for each I believe (fleet boxes). I'd be looking for £150 per fleet plus postage (~£10 maybe). I don't want to...

The problem with the fed/klink matchup is not only that the klingons are too agile (though removing agile does much to reduce this) but that also the feds are slow turners. They are not as slow to turn in the source material. I think the designer put this in to emphasise the differences between...

...then you probably already bought 'Attack Wing' to sit next to your existing X-wing fighters for the same game system. And guess what? It's in every game store in the whole world. ACTA lost out big on that one.

There have been many, many threads on this. There is enough info and enough rules suggestions on this board to keep a small army busy just reading through the damn stuff and very little of it went anywhere. Anyway.. Hail Caesar time. ACTA sits on the shelf.

This exactly. The fixes have to wait but a new book has some priority. How can it be expected than an add-on will sell when the core product has not yet been completed?

I can only hope that you're wrong about delaying the Hydrans. A book with Lyran, Tholian and a fixed set of rules doesn't sound to me like one that would sell very well unless it was cheap. Yes I know you mentioned Orion but they're pirates and ACTA is a fleet game - always struck me as strange...

What's hf? the product schedule shows nothing about ACTA (http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/releaseschedule) Whilst I am glad to see that ADB is supporting the line as I do not want to see it die, there is little interest in playing this now at my local club. As my dad said when I suggested it...

Fair enough then. I was going to post about how stuff's been dropped and not finished and blah blah blah. There's a hundred posts saying the same stuff now. Maybe we'll just go back to full thrust. I'm sure there's a Trek conversion somewhere. <abject disappointment>.

In most businesses if you can't support all your business lines, the least successful would be dropped to make way. At least in the short term. Just saying perhaps a restructuring is in order. That paramount fee can't be cheap.

I have to agree most things work OK. The photons are modelled in ATCA as they are in FC - they are a wild punch weapon, potentially devastating but usually 'meh' The #1 thing that doesn't 'feel' right in comparison to FC is seekers. Now that would be OK but almost everything has a seeking...

The net reault I believe would be DISR range 24" Killzone 12" Which is in effect a nerf to make it less effective over a foot.

Wasn't the Q whether to remove accurate from phasers firing at plasma torps? Rather than to remove it from phasers. IE: a buff to plasma. The plasma does need some kind of buff to stop it being shot down so easily & bring it more in line with FC. Do rather like the idea of changing disruptors...
