I don't think I've ever seen Ken not use pentacons.

That really isn't a massive benefit, on so many different levels. If Centauri players want to max out their Hunting Packs and never use the bonus, that is just fine by me and, I suspect, other players too.
Clanger said:I would say 1 roll for the whole pack if 1 ship is within range an all or nothing roll.
Chandler said:Well in a regular squadron all ships have to roll so why should the first ship not roll, and if it cant see it then the others dont get the extra range.
If it does they do but they still have to roll stealth like any regular squadron?
So the pack declares that it is a pack, declares its target, and anything already in range rolls to break stealth. The first one to make it gives the usual +1 bonus to every subsequent ship, the range boost is in effect, the rest of the pack get to make their stealth rolls. If none of the ships which are in range without the boost make successful stealth rolls, then they can not attack the target ship, therefore there is no range boost, tough luck on the rest of the pack.In each turn, when the Hunting Pack is nominated to fire, it may nominate one target. Ships within the Hunting Pack may only attack this designated target. If the target can be attacked by one ship within the Hunting Pack, every other ship in the Pack will increase the range of its weapons by half.
