Progress on 2e

[katadder]

currently under serious playtest - so anything said now would be subject to change withing probably the next few days

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Can you give me an idea, at least, what sort of changes are being made?

 

[katadder]

well like i said, anything i tell you now could be subject to change in the next couple of days.

i could say the vree have mini beams with range 50, TD and precise. all hull 6 SM etc etc. or could give you what they are now and neither would probably be correct by monday.

S & P has made me pretty happy. Overall, I see good things.

I also see some chain yanking (names of new ships and such), but I can't complain. I like the direction of the Centauri... but I always thought "Precise" should be a defacto trait of ion weapons.

I mean, if taking criticals is the purpose of ion weaponry (it is the purpose, right?) than they should have been AP and P or in the case of hvy ion cannons on the Octurian or Adira, SAP and P.

Anyway, no complaints from me... except I hope August (is that set in stone?) gets here soon!


just curious, Which fleet are you using now? :wink:






And I'm with Hiff. Give me my Drahk Mothership!

We should be able to fulfil both wishes - with our new printing facility, we effectively buy ourselves another two months of design, as we can carry on making changes right up to the day it goes to print, if need be.

We have also been preparing this for quite some time - design work on 2e started on pretty much the same day that Armageddon was released, so a great deal of work has gone into it (with more or less weekly updates). Rules-wise, it is looking good, and we are perhaps 90% of the way through the balancing.

Basically, it is all good. . .
