Interesting bit of Interceptors fluff

[Lord David the Denied]

You tease us with hints with a dockside harlot... :lol:

 

[Abraxas]

Ships with "shared interceptors" can pool their interceptors dice if they remain within 6" of each other. Any shots fired at any participating ship can be intercepted by the total dice pool.

I think you are going to like the new Escort trait. . .

You're just cruel... :wink:

 

[sidewinder]

Sharing interceptors is nice but dont do a pool. Let us use them one ship at a time (like how interceptors on space stations can be broken up). Same thing goes for using fighters as interceptors. A large pool of interceptor dice is useless after a while, because of diminishing returns. Unless you change them so that each die negates a hit.

 

[Burger]

I suspect Escort does something a little more effective than sharing interceptors, so that ships like the Guardhawk can benefit from it. Guardhawk have a use??? Heresy!

 

[emperorpenguin]

don't want to deflate you guys but nothing about "escort" affects interceptors.....

the Halik was classed as a fighter escort (well, fighter killer, but meh) so then, assuming it is now an escort, does escort involve Fighter clearance? as opposed to the new AF trait on ships?

yup

 

[H]

good! the halik was a terrible antifighter ship!
ooh, do narn get an escort now e-mines changed?!

the Halik is possibly the best antifighter ship now

not as yet, remember you've still got pulsar mines

 

[H]

good point.

Glad to hear the Halik is now more suitable to it's role! I love the model, fantastic detail, heck, i may get my brakiri out tonight now, and do all the inking I intended but never got round too!

 

[Da Boss]

Is it better than the Minbari?

 

[emperorpenguin]

good point, the Ashinta is nasty too

 

[H]

with the new beam rules, and a dedicated anti fighter ship, plus I see a pikitos (or however it is spelt) I think the Brakiri just got a lot tougher

and plenty more goodies still to come......

 

[H]

I may have trouble deciding which fleet to play at this rate!

...and the mk46 torpedo....oh sorry, Shakara. So you don't even need the previously inevitable Vree scouts.

So get the interceptor-sharing trait in there! I'm counting on you, EP. I want guardian arrays to be better than crude human technology... :wink:

There is some concern among other Centauri players about interceptors being removed from ships (not me I say damn the defences and give me more guns!) so we shall see :wink:

All our hopes are with you, EP. Take my people back to the stars!
