Some ideas: not tested, prob not balanced but finished work late (9pm) and bored.............I have took some stuff away and added some bits as well
In Summation (heavily influenced by discussions in the Pub Sat night , and on the forum)
I made all E mines F arc and reduced range on many
Gave the Gaim a short range plasma weapon (based on fighter armament) and better version on bigger ships (both turreted)
Added a War ship
Added to the rule about campaign replenishment
delted all the advanced Traits
added 2 speed to missiles but made them blow up if they met fighters rather than dogfight
Added an extra to Protect the Queen
removed some fighters from some ships
added a few wepaons on some ships
The Gaim Intelligence Fleet List
The following forms the entire fleet list for the Gaim Intelligence.
Priority Level: Patrol
Breaching Pod Wing (4 flights)
Klikkita Wing (6 flights)
Stak-class scout
Priority Level: Skirmish
Sataaka-class gunship
Shuuka-class queen light cruiser
Priority Level: Raid
Shaakak-class queen cruiser
Skrunnka-class assault ship
Stuteeka-class war carrier
Priority Level: Battle
Shrutaa-class queen ship
Priority Level: War
Sutara-class Queen hive-ship
FightersFlights of smaller craft may be purchased separately and used as units in their own right. Some ships are noted as carrying one or more flights of fighters on board. One or more of these flights may be deployed as normal at any time before or during the battle and do not cost anything extra – the cost of these flights is included in that of their parent ships.
A Klikkita flight may convert itself into a Klikkitak flight in any End Phase, whether or not it has been launched or not from its parent ship. Once converted into a Klikkitak, it may not change back and it may never be recovered by the fleet carrier trait.
Gaim Intelligence Fleet Special Rules
The following special rules apply to all Gaim Intelligence fleets.
Assault Drones: The drones used as troops by the Gaim are genetically bred to be awesome fighting machines. Whenever performing a boarding action or planetary assault, Gaim Troops roll two dice when attacking, taking the best one.
Pilot Drones: Gaim carriers are fully capable of manufacturing fighters and breeding the drones to crew them at an accelerated pace. All Gaim ships will automatically replace all their fighters and breaching pods at the end of every campaign turn as long as they have at least one ship that has the Fleet Carrier trait.
The Queens: Every Gaim fleet must be led by at least one Queen ship (of any type). Queen ships receive a +1 bonus to Crew Quality, and every ship in the fleet will have the same Crew Quality as the nearest Queen.
Dynamic Squadrons: As long as Queen ship is in play, Gaim fleets are not required to create squadrons before a scenario begins. Instead, any ships that fulfil the requirements of becoming a squadron (such as being within 6” of one another) may automatically be declared a squadron at the start of the Movement Phase. They may continue to act as a squadron throughout the scenario, or be disbanded in any End Phase.
Protect the Queen: The Queens represent the most important ships in the fleet. If a fleet loses all of its Queens, every ship will immediately suffer a –4 penalty to Crew Quality and the fleet will have its Initiative reduced to –3. In addition, a Queen ship will provide double the normal number of Victory Points for an enemy.If a Queen ship is attacked and a non Queen ship is within 4” and within range of the enemy attacking, you can force the enemy to attack his ship instead – this is done before any dice are rolled.
Gaim Intelligence Initiative: +3
Breaching Pod Patrol (Wing)
Capable of transporting a platoon of assault drones across the war zone and on towards an enemy ship, breaching pods are dangerous vehicles to deploy but a clever Queen will balance the risk with the potential to keep an enemy on the back foot. Photon Cutters allow the breaching pod to cut through metres thick armour plating once latched onto the hull of a target, gaining entry for the drones carried on board.
Speed: 8 Turns: SM Hull: 5 Damage: - Crew: - Troops: 1
Dogfighting: - Craft: - Special Rules: Breaching Pod, Dodge 5+
In Service: 2168+
Klikkita Light Fighter Patrol (Wing)
Small but possessing a powerful plasma reactor subsystem, the Klikkita is crewed by a single drone. Super agile and utterly expendable, Klikkitas are kept dormant in their motherships on massive racks until activated. When released, they create a swarm that is almost impossible to penetrate. If threatened by larger vessels, the Klikkita can overload its reactor, turning it into an extremely powerful crewed missile.
Speed: 12 Turns: SM Hull: 3 Damage: - Crew: - Troops: -
Dogfighting: +1 Craft: - Special Rules: Dodge 2+, Fighter
In Service: 2213+
Weapon Range Arc AD Special
Plasma Bolt 2 T 1
Klikkitak Crewed Missile Special
Once the Klikkita overloads its reactor, it becomes a deadly weapon, a missile crewed by a drone who has no thought but to give its life for the Queens. Known as the Klikkitak in this configuration, the drone’s only thought is to guide its craft through heavy fire in order to directly impact into the hull of an enemy warship.
Speed: 12 Turns: SM Hull: 4 Damage: - Crew: - Troops: -
Dogfighting: - Craft: - Special Rules: Dodge 3+, Fighter
In Service: 2213+
* If a Klikkitak moves into contact with an enemy ship (including fighters), it will launch an automatic attack at the end of the Movement Phase, after all Anti-Fighter dice have been rolled. This attack will use 1 Attack Dice, and have the Double Damage, Precise and Super AP traits. It will ignore Interceptors. Once the attack has been performed, the Klikkitak is removed from play and may not be regained by use of the Fleet Carrier trait.
Sataaka-class Gunship Skirmish
A common fighting vessel in Gaim fleets, the role of the Shataaka is to provide a forward screen behind the fighter fleets, intercepting any enemy capital ships that roam too close to the Queens. It is well armed for such a slight vessel.
Speed: 9 Turn: 2/45o Hull: 5 Damage: 18/4 Crew: 29/6

Shaakak-class Queen Light Cruiser Raid
A mid-ranged warship, Shaakaks are often deployed in small makeshift squadrons to support a single Shrutaa, though they will also be found leading small strike forces against the enemies of the Gaim. Heavily defended and usually well supported, tackling a Shaakak can be a tricky proposition.

Shrutaa-class Queen Battleship BattleMost commonly seen commanding Gaim war fleets, the Shrutaa is a solid warship, built to protect the Queen inside as she directs the entire battle. Its place is not at the frontline, however, as the Shrutaa relies on its swarming fighters and long-ranged photon bombs to keep enemies at bay.

Shuuka-class Queen Light Cruiser Skirmish
Young Queens rarely have the opportunity to command fleets of their own and are instead usually used to support older Queens in managing over-sized fleets. Occasionally, one or more Shuukas will be seen leading a small expeditionary force into enemy territory.
Speed: 6 Turn: 2/45o Hull: 6 Damage: 19/4 Crew: 28/6

Skrunnka-class Assault Ship Raid
Designed to batter through defences and launch shuttles filled with vicious assault drones, be it at an enemy ship or enemy-held world, the Skrunnka is tough and can weather the most devastating attacks. It lacks a wide range of offensive weaponry, leading the Queens to wield its legion of assault drones as they would any other ranged system.

Stak-class Scout Patrol
Often the first sight a visitor to Gaim space will be greeted with, the Stak is used to routinely patrol the border of Gaim worlds. In wartime, groups of Stak will work together as they cross into enemy held systems, cataloguing defences and fleet compositions, throwing photon bombs to cause confusion if forced to retreat.

Stuteeka-class War Carrier Raid
The largest warship without a Queen in the Gaim fleet, the Stuteeka is weakly armoured and in need of constant protection. However, its massive hangers house racks upon racks of Klikkitas, ready to launch within minutes and overwhelm the enemy in sheer numbers.
Speed: 6 Turn: 2/45o Hull: 4 Damage: 50/14 Crew: 68/16

Sutara-class Queen hive-ship War
A vast world in space, constructed to protect and serve a High Queen on her journey into the darkness. Sutara class vessels consume massive quantities of resources to build and maintain which makes the sudden construction of them so surprising to outsiders. Heavily protected by vast numbers of drones, both warriors within the massive ship and piloting the swarms of fighters that cloak its movements.
