Cascor and Hyach in ACTA

[kai_askani]

Heya All

I'm picking up a bunch of minis of a guy in town to help me flesh out a fleet or two for my friend to play with.

He has Cascor and Hyach models from the old Fleet Action system. i really like the models so I'm getting them anyways, but have there been any rules for using them in ACTA ???

 

[Tolwyn]

Hello,

indeed there were some models for them (only fleet action scale). Look at the old AOG Online shop

 

[Da Boss]

Katadder did some rules for the Hyach evolved from playtest material - don't recal the Cascor being done- mainly very good fighters and heavy Carriers IIRC

 

[McKickaha]

Katadder did put up some rules for the Cascor, as well as the Ipsha in the same post as the Hyach rules.

Few months ago I will search for the thread and post up a link in edit.

Must admit Haven't tried them yet. No ships, yet.

yep heres the latest:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/22i5531g0c2/LONAW wip.zip

fleets in there are hyach, cascor, ipsha, grome, hurr and also some new ships for the existing races to use.
at some point I have to add the kor-lyan, torata and yulu and come up with a few other bits and pieces then will have the LONAW supplement finished.
after that comes a major races supplement with new ships and the centauri fleet from my earth/centauri war added in.

:idea:
I was wondering if given the fluff (and stories of it in action) of the Alichi Kav-class Stealth Cruiser the following might work better

put its stealth back up to Stealth 5 but it loses it immediately when it fires for the rest of the turn -

May give it more of a different Submarine style feel in action -maybe even go to stealth 6, give the main gun 1 or 2 more AD but drop the interceptors and other guns? Make it literally a stalth ship with one devestating gun?

 

[katadder]

dunno, would make it hard to counter as people will want it dead before it fires and it can already sit out at 40". definately a no on adding more AD to the beam, its already quad damage at raid i know its very slow loading but still with standard beam rules that can kill most things in one shot.

and heres the Kor-Lyans fresh off the press

see what you think of a full missile fleet.
only 2 more races to go.

:shock: Quad on a raid ship...a bit unbalanced isn't it. Even if it is a slow loading beam that is a bit much for a raid level ship. A bit broken there :shock:

Quad Damage: Found only on the vessels of the oldest and most powerful races, these weapons are the most powerful weapons in the galaxy.

its actually very slow loading, so takes 2 turns to reload. had to make spinal lasers something differant. so average damage is 2 hits for 8 damage over 3 turns. not that powerful.

things that really need looking at for the moment are the big kor-lyan ships as am unsure on them. oh and on proximity lasers, they have a range of 10" from point of explosion.

edit: oops forgot to add missile variants to the kor-lyans.

 

[Tolwyn]

Damn, and I wanted to convert the Kor-Lyan during my christmas holidays :wink:

Groth Gunship Raid

[kai_askani]

lol good spot, no only top two lines are forward weapons, rest is P/S/A in that order working down.

Missile Variants that I forgot from kor-lyans
Missile Variants:

Long Range Missile: This warhead sacrifices some armour penetration for increased fuel load and range.

Range Special
40 AP, Precise

Cluster Missile: This warhead breaks into multiple smaller warheads on approach making it harder to dodge and intercept. If a Cluster missile hits a target it may not be intercepted and all dodge rolls are at -1.

Range Special
25 SAP

ECCM Missile: A useful warhead for tracking hard to track Stealthed targets, this warhead leaves behind a short lived beacon broadcasting its location to friendly forces. If an ECCM missile hits a target with the Stealth Trait the stealth is lowered by 1, in addition to the usual modifier for a successful attack. This modifier lasts until the end phase even if the firer is destroyed.

Range Special
25 SAP

Heavy Missile: This missile technology was purchased from the Earth Alliance, modified to fit Kor-Lyan missile racks and is perfect for getting up close and personal with the enemy.

Range Special
10 Super AP, Triple Damage

Flash Missile: Another missile system purchased from the Earth Alliance and modified to fit. This missile gives more firepower at a reduced range and penetration compared to a standard missile.

Range Special
18 AP, Double Damage, Precise
