    All Stop and Pivot question

    My understanding is that is that (All Stop) and (All Stop and Pivot) are two different SAs so instead of (All Stop and the (All Stop and Pivot) then (All Stop and Pivot) etc I feel that it should be (All Stop) then (All Stop and Pivot) then All Stop and then (All Stop and Pivot)

    3rd Edition.

    I had a thougth that you could have each side move a whole fleet action pt per side. This would limit the ability of the swarm fleets. Also it would give the lumbering ships more opportunity to use bore-sight. If a side gains an advantage of a fleet action pt then the other player would move a...

    the 2008 update book - ideas

    I would be interested in rules clarifications, then fixing existing fleets including the Gaim, Abbai, Vorlon, Raiders, and Shadow. The first is very difficult for and fleet and the latter fleets are not competitive against most races. The Gaim needs to lose the advanced antifighter and flight...

    acta end ed fleet book - errata

    I understand that with the EA Hyperion assault (Crusade) that it truely came from the the EA Hyperion Assault of the Early years. Yet, when it clearly states that the ship is drived from I ship that is stated to come from years after the variant then it is very confusing. It just detracts from...

    ACTA 2nd ed - flight computer (vorlon)

    The reason I was thinking that, is that if a ship has a flight computer it still requires 1 crew in order to function. I understand that the Vorlon do not require crew but if they lose the flight computer also then there is nothing to fly the ship.

    acta- ship with escorting fighter

    I had an interesting situation the other day. I was attacking a fighter that was escorting a ship and my opponent wanted either to defend the fighter with the ship's anti-fighter defence or require a portion of the attacking fighters to attack the ship instead. His contention was that the...

    ACTA 2nd ed - flight computer (vorlon)

    Came across an interesting situation the other day. I had a Vorlon DD and it was hit with critial damage and a trait was lost -Flight computer. Since the ship has no crew and lost its flight computer we played that the ship is gone. Is that correct or does it have some other effect?

    ACTA 2nd ed - damaged ship movement suggestion

    My thought is to require a ship to move 1/2 its original movement rate or its full current movement which ever is less before it can turn. _________________
