filling out the fleets?

[BADGERCLAW]

our group had a nice game this week.

each fleet had to take 2 battle pts. 2 Raid pts. 2 Skirmish, 2 patrol pts.

but what if your fleet doesn't have 1 of the Priority level?
I think they get stiff.

so is Mongoose ever going to finish the Priority level so that all the fleets can
got a ship out of all of the Priority level?

not every fleet is designed to have ships at all priority levels. shadows, vorlons and minbari are the ones that spring to mind. they have high powerful tech.

well for fleets that have this issue should allow them to trade up/down as usual but only allow that IF they don't have a selection at a given priority...making a player run at a disadvantage like that just aint right.

well no one had to, but I was thinking if Mongoose was going to round off the
fleets.

new ships= new money.

Just a wild idea... called it a "2X4" game... two ships at four levels. Worked out pretty well, but as has been stated, some fleets don't have the assets at low level.

It only makes a difference now because of the updated FAP table in the FAQ. Shadows can no longer split a point and mix raid and Patrol without a skirmish choice which isn't available to them. An oversight on the part of the designers rather than an intent I would think

bit odd now that the Vorlons get a skirmish and no raid and the Shadows vice versa............

The Shadows get a fantastic Raid choice and nothing worth speaking of below that.

how about a 2nd edition re-enforcments box set

The pl system works better if everyone gets a chance to pick freely. I always hated the idea of of the 'some fleets can't fight at certain levels'. Our local campaign had fully half its battles decided by the roll for priority levels.

@ Ripple - yep def - it would be best for all races to have something at each level. They can still be different / intersting and not be copies of each other - the range for different fleets across priority levels is already interesting..............lets make it more so

So you could possibly have carriers for the ancients to fill in the PL levels,
One at skirmish with shadows, one at raid with vorlons. Hint, Hint mongoose. :wink:

Um, what? What does that mean -- "2 ships, 4 levels"?

you have to take 2 ships at battle levels, 2 raid levels, 2 skirmish levels,
2 patrol levels.

so ever one will have the same number of ships at the same levels.

"you can not get 3 battle and no raids or 1war and no battles.you have to get that Priority Levels.
