MgT 1 BCr Squadron Tournament
- Thread starter Octagon
- Start date
I think this is way too generous.
According to the rules only "characters" can conduct damage repair - not sure how to take this. For non capital ships how about 1 + the auto repair value in toto?to clarify - if, on turn 5 a system receives it's 4th hit having all previous damage repaired - it is now irrevocablly reduced to level 2 ?
regards
Funnily enough, when I tried building a small squadron under the proposed round 2 rules, I found I had more trouble finding space for bays and state rooms than with money. Given the Jump 4 requirements, any given ship needs to dedicate about 45% of its tonnage just to fuel.

I submitted a fleet to Octagon for round 2 based around a 1400 ton carrier and 6 x accurate particle beam barbette armed 40 ton fighters (the idea came to me from one of Andrew's posts about particle barbettes on fighters). Each fighter had reinforced hull twice (8 tons 0.8MCr) for +6 Hull - cheapest way to get hull onto the board in my opinion. Only thing I missed was need some cargo to protect row 10 on the small craft damage table (cargo goes to J-drive, which of course they have not got so counts as structure).
I ended up spending money on big sensors DMs, based on the detection roll and the effect it had in the battle in the first round.
I'll dig the fleet out if anyone is interested.

Great and exciting read!
Looking forward to submitting mu own ships if you run another.
This ended in a draw but I think that BP (Red Fleet) would have had an overwhelming victory had the barbettes continued to fire on the main ships. I was quite surprised that you targeted them at fighters that had little or no chance of doing any damage.

Okay...found my copy of High Guard (in the upper paleolithic layer of crud in my room).
Happy to run this one.
Rules and Notes:
Rules set for all design and combat are:
MgT core rulebook (No alternate drives or power plants)
MgT Book 2: High Guard
Referenced S&P Article (include reference if you use one)
It is assumed you have all licenses and permissions you might wish from Imperial Authority.
Design Limitations (A bit looser than last time):
1 BCr (1,000 MCr) for full purchase of all vessels. The first example of any class must be paid in full, including architect’s fees. Additional vessels of the class may be purchased at 20% discount.
Computer programs must be purchased within allotted budget.
Consumables and Expendables (Ammunition, Supplies, Processed Fuel and Crewmen) need not be purchased within the budget but must obviously have space assigned to them and any special variants you intend to use noted.
Vessels may be designed up to TL13
All vessels must be capable of a minimum of thrust 3
All vessels must be jump-3 capable or have an assigned hangar or docking clamp aboard a vessel so capable whilst it is aboard.
The fleet must be capable of scooping and refining a quantity of fuel equivalent to 10% of the total fuel tankage of the fleet within 30 Hours (i.e. one 24 hour refining period following a single scoop mission)
The fleet must have power plant reserves and staterooms capable of 2 weeks sustained combat deployment. This requires vessels to have the manpower to meet at least the minimum requirements of 'Fully Manned', including Officers. See the player's guide.
Small craft and battle riders need not meet this requirement but again must have suitable provisions on board their nominated base ship, and their base ship must also have ground crew for them, as defined in the capital ship crews in High Guard. The flight crew should include the normal ratio of officers.
You are considered to have an unlimited reserve of manpower to draw upon, with all crewmen having appropriate skills, stats or blind luck to accrue a +2 DM in all roles they could concievably be required to serve in.
