Brakiri ships

[wayfarer]

I have almost all the books for a Call to Arms and B5 RPG

Brakiri are one of my favourite races, but I noticed some unusual omissions from ACTA such as

The Courani dreadnaught

the Heavy Fighter

and the Courani heavy carrier variant


considering there are a heap of ships for other races why aren't they avaiable? particularly when they are in the RPG info


doesn't mongoose use a "standard" b5 setting as the base for all its products?

 

[emperorpenguin]

I could be wrong but were those ships even done in the B5 Wars scale?

If not that'd explain it..

there are inconsistencies between the RPG ships and those of ACTA, it bugs me but many others (a majority it seems) aren't that picky! :wink:

The RPG stuff and the ACTA stuff is not co-ordinated, many ships exists in the ships of the galaxy book, or race source books that do not have a model or stats, likewise I suspect some ACTA ships don't appear in any RPG books. The Drakh are a prime example with temple ships and shield ships amongst others.

The Brakiri heavy fighter was made by AOG i believe, so their is every chance mongoose will release it at some stage, if you want to use it, a chap Rich bax has done some stats for it, I don't have the link handy here though :-( The Couroumi has been requested a few times, along with the juyaca for the abbai, given the hopeless model for the Brivoki, their may be a chance these wil surface in second ed

If AoG made a miniature for it then it'll almost certainly get released at some point. If there is a good "official" design for a ship then the odds are fair it'll get released at some point. If there's no real background then don't hold your breath!

 

[wayfarer]

All these ships are in the B5 rpg league of non-aligned worlds book

yeah, best bet is to see if AOG made a model of it tthough,
as I say, the drakh, Mongooses latest fleet in ACTA fully made by mongoose has ships in it's book that i doubt we will ever see. the best bet is seriously to see what AOG made

AOG made a Mini of the Pikitos Heavy Fighter. R-bax's version of it is still in testing. They were done in the FA scale, which fortuneatly is the fighter scale for ACTA.

I have done a lot of playtesting of his supplement "The Wave" which at this point only has Brakiri ships

He published the following: They are Dilgar Era so they have Graviton Bolters instead of Pulsars. These are DD weapons instead of AP with reduced AD

Raid -
Antoph Light Crusier
Deveskar Carrier
Halos Heavy Scout

Battle -
Avioki Heavy Cruiser - Dilgar Era

War -
Corumai Dreadnaught
