Nova Idea--Bring Back Laser/Pulse Arrays

[Target]

Okay, you want to get rid of the idea that the Victory should have the L/P arrays, fine, do it this way.

take the Excalibur out of the Crusade era list.

Make the Laser conversion into a special action for the Earth alliance ONLY with a few ships exempt from this rule, such as any ship with the scout trait or those below raid.

Actually the easiest way to make the change is to rename the weapon systems to Laser/Pulse Arrays like they use to be and drop the concept that it is a function of the Heavy Pulse Cannon. That way you can eliminate any idea of the Victory Class getting it.

The whole point of my argument was that you can't say all HPC are created equal but the ones on the Victory class can't do this. If you change the weapon systems on ships you want to have this from HPC to LPA then there is no debate. You can give the Nova and other ships LPAs while keeping HPCs on the Chronos to prevent any concerns of those ships becoming over the top, or releasing some arbitrary number of 'ships with more then 35 damage' get this or ships that are below a PL don't. Just change the name of the weapon system on the ship you want to give it to and then there is no need for extra text about which ships can do it and which can't.

Making sense, that sort of carry-on just won't do. :lol:

I know, it was a moment of weakness, what ever was I thinking

which is what I have actually done in my mod of EA fleets.

Since we're talking about the Nova, why did we never do anything fun with the two different sets of barrels the ship has.

Clearly seemed to me two different weapons... one longer range, one shorter. Maybe something like a the old sailing ship carronade. Short range heavy guns...

Why does the miniature have two different sets of barrels anyway? The Nova seen in the show didn't! I've used extra barrels to model my pair of Novas to have all-long barrelled guns.

Really? God anyone remember the episodes it appears in? I have to go look, I thought it was accurate. Well that solves that... not buying one of those shabby things.

Good to know though,
