I don't agree with the majority here about the open gunports being a strange form of greeting. After all, ceremonial displays of weponry has been and still is used among humans for similar purposes troughout history. This is simply a case of very badly handled culture shock.

Iirc one flight/ship can always start on the table so that should be all of them in the list you posted... In most games against opponents with good dogfighters the por's are going to need escorting fighters ( from other league races) to avoid getting blitz'ed off the table before they can do...

Was the por'fa'tais actually effective? :? Given their low speed and dogfighting ability I would have belived that agressive sentri fighters would have stopped them short of attack range. :?

Considering that a forum with this many threads complaining about things only bring up "minor niggles" when a new edition is being discussed, it's pretty safe to say that the rules as is are pretty good. :P For me I got two and a half things I would like to see done in the new ruleset...

I'm fine with it under two conditions. 1. that people randomize the levels they play at , so every fleet will be big dog at some points and underdog at others. 2. Dont go overbord. I don't mind some fleets having advantages in certain pl's/scenarioes but everybody should have a chanse to pull...

One thing i would like them to include in any new rulebooks is a page of definitions. Simply a list of several key words, that clearly defines the meaning of each word as pertains to the rules. This should cut down on the sillier kind of ruleslawyering that seems to bee focused on semantics and...

Hmmm most of the replys seem somewhat negative :( to the idea but the poll tends toward somewhat positive :? strange. To Those who didnt like it due to less freedom of choise. Could this be used in tournaments only as an anti-cheese measure sice the normal one, dont play him, is useless in...

Wulf. The problem with hard limits on certain ships is making sure it works on all combinations of points/level, having a maximum of 3 sagis works fine in 5 pt. raid but gets a little skimpy in a 10 pt War or Armageddon. Thats why i tried to make a System that could scale easily.

There has Been a lot of complaints lately that some ships, while fine on there own, get drastically unbalanced in large groups. (saggitarius anyone ? :) ) After some thinking i have come up with a way of solving it and still keep the scalability of ActA (one of its biggest strengths in my...

Actually the Vree should be able to put up a decent defense even with these rules, but it will take some skill. All Vree ships have 5" A-F guns. Explosions have a 4" range. therefore you can have your ships in a close enough formation to have every ship covered by two or three others while...
