New Troligan?

[Fiztbane_65]

Just saw the new troligan thats coming out. Any word on what the rules changes on it in S&P 43 are gonna be?

err....or was this asked in another thread?

thanks!

My guess is it might be Hull 6 or (better IMO) more damage. Otherwise, I think the ship is solid. I use it now.

Hull 6 would make it pretty fixed IMO. Still a little weak on the attack though.

Hull 6 + Stealth I can see being a little frustrating to play against.... Not unbalanced necessarily but not exactly fair either

 

[Burger]

Well yes it is a very defensive ship. Only stealth 4+ though. Its attack dice are very low which makes it fair.

But as I said it's not a matter of it being fair or not, I can just see it being INCREDIBLY frustrating to play against. Try taking on a Chronos or two at low PL with something like Dilgar or the like when you dont have MASSES of dice to throw about and no beams. Hull 6 and 3 interceptor can be INCREDIBLY frustrating to try and hurt. Switch stealth for the interceptors and your getting REALLY annoying then.

It's not a question of game balance it's a question of 'is it fun to play for both sides?'. In my oppinion the Tourney list Minbari were pretty nicely balanced for the most part but they were STILL very annoying due to the WAY stealth worked in genreral as a similar example. You have to be very careful about giving anything with that tough a hull ANY kind of additional defences imho.

Always liked the old troligan model, All it neded was more damage, or hull to match it's description, it's a damage soaker, an annoyance, something that should be damned hard to kill (buyt then most stealth ships already ARE damned hard to kill, ggrrrr)

its can soak damage, and only has stealth 4+ but doesnt have battle level firepower. yes its annoyng but then it will take about as long to kill as it would to kill your battle level ship due to the reduced firepower.
