Fighter deployment in Hyperspace?

[G Quan]

May I deploy fighter in hyperspace, from ships that waiting in hyperspace for some turns and don´t use SA?

 

[katadder]

nope, fraid not. would be useful if you could though but might make drakh motherships overpowered.

 

[AdrianH]

But presumably those ships which carry fighters and are allowed to start the battle with one or more deployed can, if they start the battle in hyperspace reserve, have their fighters also already deployed in hyperspace? An Omega carries four fighter flights; if it starts the battle in hyperspace, I'd think that it is allowed to have one flight deployed in hyperspace, but the other three must wait until the Omega is in realspace before they can launch.

Yes, a ship may have one deployed in hyperspace (or half its complement if it is a fleet carrier). It may not launch any more, or indeed perform any actions while in hyperspace except open a jump point to exit.

 

[DK]

Yes you may deploy fighters.

Delthos and DK are wrong in this case. Greg, AdrianH and katadder are correct (two of them are playtesters after all).

Page 26: "Ships in hyperspace cannot perform any action other than the Initiate Jump Point Special Action."

Cannot perform any action means no launching of fighters.

 

[DK]

Is launching fighters an action?

btw play testers have been wrong before.

 

[Greg Smith]

Yes. There is no game specific definition of 'action'. Action is meant as in the English definition.

BTW playtesters are never wrong. Ever. We are inhuman robots with artificially intellegent brains dedicated only to the perfection of A Call to Arms. Which would be the single greatest game ever, if not for the input of human beings.

Action != "Special action".
