Norgath typo?

[animus]

Is it right that the War Level Minbari space station has a Neutron Laser that's not a true beam, but a mini-beam? Seems like an under-gunned station.

 

[Iain McGhee]

It looks like it should be a proper Neutron Laser as carried on the cruisers and should be Beam rather than Mini-Beam. It wasn't among the typos corrected in Armageddon but I reckon it slipped through.

Hmmm...

Perhaps this shows how often the Minbari station is actually used, that this didn't get noticed until now...

I've never used one myself as the Minbari tend to wipe out most fleets before they have the RRs to buy one !

I'd noticed it but just didn't think anything of it...it's something that should change though so the stats match the description (whether as a "heavy" Fusion Cannon or as a full Neutron Laser with the Beam trait).

I'd say the stats are right just the name is off, 30" 2AD is pretty strong for a Station or though it is war. Just changed my mind, think it should be beam after looking at Centauri colony. Why does the Norgath have interceptors when minbari don't use them & Centauri do & the colony doesn't. Weird.
Another thing should't stations be fleet carriers?

 

[Iain McGhee]

The stats are the same as the standard ship-mounted Neutron Lasers, other than mini-Beam rather than Beam. Which is why I think that's a typo.

Is there an official response to this yet? There is a campaign battle coming up featuring a Minbari Space Station and whether the station will be effective or not kinda depends on if this is in fact a typo.

Is there an official response to this yet?

In 2 weeks? Don't hold your breath! If we're lucky it'll be stealth-fixed in 2e.
