al-Malik vs Vuldrok

[Garthim]

Given the Armor rules for the Vuldrok state "Weak Weapons can't effect an Armoured ship at all", any suggestions on how al-Malik can cope?

I considered a pure carrier fleet full of bombers since they have no carrier of their own.

I also considered just taking a number of stealthships and galliots to board them back.

If I am misunderstanding this reading of the armor rules, please correct me.

al malik does not have weak weapons, they have inaccurate ones.
generally only fighters have weak weapons

My bad, didn't have my book infront of me and off the top of my head remembered it being weak instead of inaccurate (always have your coffee before posting, lol.) Thanks for the correction and putting me at ease when fighting the Vuldrok. Now I just have to wait on the Vau and prepare to fight them.

You do still have a problem, though - remember that armour will stop rockets and missiles where shields wouldn't have.

You will need to concentrate fire. A lot. And I'd recommend reaching for the heavier end of the fleet - multiple lighter ships will find a disconcerting quantity of rocket fire bouncing off from small salvos.
