Missing Shadows & Vorlon

[Shadow Queen]

I see no Shadow Planet Killer or Vorlon Outpost in the fleet book another book me thinks??

 

[katadder]

you will also notice there is no other race specific space stations.

 

[Shadow Queen]

yes i did but B5 is in the rule book

 

[katadder]

but then the game is B5 ACTA, couldnt have a B5 game without B5 now could we

 

[Shadow Queen]

or vree without the Base star er command ship

I was a bit surprised we did not at least see the other stations from the show. Kinda sad really that a Vorlon station and that Narn colony base are the same now.

[Shadow Queen]

and Ragesh 3

 

[katadder]

for now. think its been mentioned they may make an appearance when theres more time to do better space station rules or something, i dunno. will see in the future.

 

[animus]

I thought the space station rules looked pretty solid. I never actually played them, but they looked good. Is 2e so different that the entire station rule set had to be canned?

 

[katadder]

well there was no models apart form the EA one i guess could be a reason they dropped off for now. apart from B5 the game is more about fleets anyway, and how often do people use space stations?

 

[Shadow Queen]

about 4 times

 

[Iain McGhee]

Twice in as many years. And only once actually on the tabletop. Could have saved myself some money on that Orion

So, if the Shadows are missing the planet killer, how is their list looking?

DO they get:

Shadow ship (the big nasty one)
Shadow ship (the young one)
Shadow Scout
Fighters

Is there anything else? I seem to recall something about a destroyer (maybe a upgraded scout??). Or did I just make that memory up?

 

[Court Jester]

Shadow ship (old)
Shadow ship (young)
Shadow Scout
Shadow Scout Destroyer
Fighters

 

[super squirel]

Shadow ship (old)
Shadow ship (young)
Shadow Scout
Shadow Scout Destroyer
Fighters

Ooooo, I didn't create a fictional memory then. IS it getting a new model? Ah, I may just convert it anyway to get some variety going.

Cheers. :wink:

 

[Court Jester]

There is no new model that I am aware of.

 

[Da Boss]

They loose Hunter and Shadow Cloud, keep the rubbish fighters (although can use them now for intercepting hmm so may be useful) and gain a new Battle level scout and War Level Shadow ship(young) as well as keeping Armgedon Ship (Ancient). No Adult/Mature apparently!?

In an ideal workd there would be more stuff for them .............. ah well next time

 

[super squirel]

I don't think I would want to see to much more for them. Making the fighters a little more effective would have been nice, but there you go. And atleast we have a slightly better spread across the levels.

Hmmm, I'm off to plan some conversions I think.

 

[Shadow Queen]

its a scout mini

 

[Da Boss]

Yeah I have converts that would fit - not expecting (or indeed wanting) lots of ships - I think three or four would have been nice - but also actual nice new models - If I can make them up...and get a good reaction................anyone can
