If the Narn want a fleet carrier and/or a better assault ship, how about listing something the fleet would give up to gain such capability. I am sorry, but "Because we dont get one" is not convincing enough argument.

Wouldn't it be nice if people actually read the thread to determine the *context* of a comment? I brought up the T'Loth purely to demonstrate that the Gain Assault ship isn't bad at all when compared to its peers. Hiff added some comments which I believe should be taken in the context of the original post which mentioned a carrier without Fleet Carrier - his asking for one was probably just illustrating the fact that the Narn don't get one full stop.

Da Boss said:Now it has also been mentioned before that the Pak should never have a Scout - but no reasons why - it seems somewhat arbitary (which is of course allowable to the designer :wink: ) asto my mind the pak ar equite liikely to build ships to look for stuff - it may be a big lumbering monsterosity full of pak and with relitvely basic sensors and a big hold to keep the stuff in or a more subtle conversion of a Drazi / Brakiri hull with few weapons and good sensors.
And the most important one, "what if both sides turn up with equivalently powered fleets?"Greg Smith said:A lot of ACTA battles can be described as 'What if?'
Its not just fans though, Matt sometimes seriously overdoes things at first too! I think it was katadder who playtested the original pre-release Gaim, 5 points of battle easily beat 5 points of WAR of another race?Da Boss said:Yeah its odd that as its usually we fans that can be guilty of initially overdoing (holds hand up) things with new stuff

Why did the assault ship lose hull 6? Even without 10 flights, it is a good ship. There aren't many raid ships that sport 10 AD of double damage beams. It is a great ship for getting in the middle of the enemy formation and blasting away with all 4 arcs.

Hate to say this but having just glanced through thw Gaim rules and presuming I am reading the right version the Assault ship does now have hull 6? :?
Skrunnka-class Assault Ship Raid
Designed to batter through defences and launch shuttles filled with vicious assault drones, be it at an enemy ship or enemy-held world, the Skrunnka is tough and can weather the most devastating attacks. It lacks a wide range of offensive weaponry, leading the Queens to wield its legion of assault drones as they would any other ranged system.
