B5freak said:I quite agree. Orks & Eldar anyone? My thought process is this, if Mongoose has already set the precedent of making the First One fleets very different from all the others (different damage, Fighters must be purchased separately, Special Action restrictions, etc), why not take the few extra steps to give these fleets a feeling of uniqueness worthy of the First Ones. I certainly wouldn't advocate doing this sort of thing to any of the younger races' fleets.
Maybe in time a book focusing on the First Ones should be put out containing upgraded rules. didn't AoG do some minis for the weirder First Ones?
I say in time because this may be the kind of thing that is best done after other fleets are fleshed out. Thankfully, Mongoose isn't in the "one army focused on at a time" so we'll see stuff like this before Babylon 5 goes on-line!
