GEG does not stop crits, any crits. The question of whether fighters are effective is a matter of luck, opinion, and numbers of dice.Yellow Beard hiffano said:so essentially, greg was taking poopy then? come on guys, either GEG stops fighters crits or it doesn't you can't both be right.
Yellow Beard hiffano said:Greg Smith said:Yes it is possible to crit a Drakh ship to death with fighters, but even thunderbolts mostly shoot harmelss fireworks against the GEGs!
seriously? have you playtested them? I took ten crits of Frazis yesterday.

Yes, I playtested the Drakh and I played them in the tourney on Saturday.
From how many Frazis, over how many turns, against what ships?
Let's see, the hyperthetical 18 fighter swarm, 4AD (no traits), 72 dice, on average 24 hit a cruiser or light cruiser, of which 4 are crits.
I'm not doubting that you did take those ten crits. I would just like to know whether it was particularly lucky rolls or large numbers of fighters? And how many crits did the non-fighters do in the same battle(s)?
Errr... confused... crits go through GEG?Yellow Beard hiffano said:they did no actual damage as they never beat the GEG, but 8 crits were done
Dread Pirate Burger said:I'll stick this on rulesmasters. Seems to me, that the 1 damage was caused by a crit, therefore should go through since GEG's can't absorb damage from crits.
I disagree. The damage is caused after you roll your damage dice, not before.katadder said:the one damage was caused before the crit and causes a crit, not actually by a crit
The 6 on the damage table, causes the hit to become a critical hit. Therefore the 1 damage it inflicts, is caused by a critical hit.katadder said:but the 6 on the damage chart isnt caused by a critical its what is causing the critical so would be ignored.

1: bulkhead, no damage
2-5: 1 damage/1 crew
6: critical, 1 damage/1 crew plus roll on the crit table
