Hell Yeah!

Oh, it's completely wrong according to anything resembling common sense and decency. I was, for the most part, being silly and, for the lesser part, drawing a parallel with being able to switch out the Nova Starfury for an Aurora, as it is a similar concept taken far to the extreme. The second...

Or even better, play as Psi Corp, take an Early Era avenger, and swap all the flights on it for Black Omega Starfuries. I mean the Early Era rule says "Any ship carrying one or more Starfury flights may replace all of them for any other type of Starfury, so long as you obey the In Service date...

Well, I'm looking at the "After an attacker has declared any weapon attacks on this ship, a lock-on must be achieved" part. It says that the lock-on is rolled when an attack is declared on the ship, but E-mines attacks are declared on a point in space. However, it does say that the ships in...

As I understand it, the "automatically attacks every object within 3" " was the important part. Essentially, as I understand it, the stealth roll prevents attacks from ever taking place. Since the E-mines automatically attack everything, without having to target any specific ship, the result...

No, They brought their Bat-Narn squad instead. *edited for HTML mistakes

Green is best!

Ground Control and the Myth series are other good examples of RTS's without any resource management. Ground control 2 not so much, which is sad really. One of the best things about the first one was ordering units as a squad.

Actually, he said 4 Prefects and 7 Havens, not 2.

Counters are what got me into the game. Being able to field any fleet I want and get the rules for $50? Heck ya! It also meant I could get my friends interested in playing some campaigns with me. Just don't have the time or the money to do the mini's.

It was more likely carrying a cargo of explosives to sell to the Narn as armor. :)

NBS also stand for N-bromosuccinimide, but that's a bit unrelated. *Edited* because I can't grammar too good.

Ah, I was mostly arguing against the fear of an all fighter fleet, at which point there wouldn't be any warships. I wholeheartedly agree that a tight circle is a stupid idea if there are other ships being thrown into the intiative.

Well, if we are assuming 18 flights to completely surround a ship, and you can't actually surround the ship do to a circle formation only, say, 2/3 of them (just an arbitrary number chosen for no particular reason). This leaves 12 flights left. Half loose to stealth (affective hull 4 with the...

Quoting Nomad Actually, couldn't the Vree just use SM to get all their ships in a nice, small circle limiting the number of fighters that can shoot them? Wouldn't this also mean that the inner ships would essentially lay waste to the fighters even if some of the outer layer go pop? I mean...
