Movement

[spellscape]

Hi

For example I won Initiative and told the opponent t move first. He have the ship with Movement on 0 can he nominate this ship to "move"?

 

[JayRaider]

Yes.

 

[animus]

Perfect example of the famed "initiative sink".

Remember a ship with speed 0 may still be able to perform special actions and launch fighters.

What other ways there are for speed 0 except engines disabled/reactor explosion? Both which have no SA?

Or is there speed 4 ship(which could go for speed 0 by -4 speed critical)? Can't recall anything slower than nova(speed 6).

Ships with speed 4:

Orestes System Monitor
Drakh Mothership
Explorer Survey Ship
Raiders Nova Dreadnought
Garasoch Heavy Carrier
Kahtrick Assault Ship
Wahant Heavy Assault Ship
Ka'Bin'Tak Super Dreadnought
Modified Freighter
Space Liner
Corporate Freighter

Also any ship with speed 8 or less that is crippled and has a -4 speed crit, will be on speed 0.

Whoops. I'll shut up then

 

[Greg Smith]

That was something we looked at in 2e. It is possible to lose your engines without losing SAs.

I hope they'll explicitly explain how speed loss with crippling+crits is handled. previously it was ruled that the speed loss was deducted BEFORE 1/2'ing for crippling. so a speed 8 with a -4 and crippled would be (8-4)x.5 not (8x/5)-4

Yer that is an impoirtant one.

It was ruled counter-intuitively, so +/- before *// (looks stupid ^^). 2e should really, really make sure to meantion this one, if its the same, or changed back to mathematic rules ^^.

 

[Burger]

It was clarified in Armageddon wasn't it? I thought so anyway. x and / before + and -.

To bodmas or not to bodmas that is the question.....

Ye gods school must have scarred me to remember that...

 

[Greg Smith]

Bodmas... I remember that and it must have been 25 years ago! :shock:

Feeling old.

 

[Myrm]

Must have about the same for me....
