Questions on starship combat

[ColHut]

some are small craft only.

I think these are only to allow better use of fighters etc in "Fighter flights" (HG p.80). I do not think they make good addition to non-capital ship combat. I am not sure they add anything but needless complication to capital ship combat either!

cheers

Sorry but got to ask - looked at the BCS tournament not sure how that played. I know i have asked this before but honestly my brain hurts here and i cannot fiogure out what they intend. In the core rules:

Do you think a system which has taken 3 hits can be repaired? You can certainly repair 3 hits on a system. This allows battlefield repair of even destroyed systems (or maybe just M-drives which do not have a destroyed rating)?

Can a system be endlessly 'battlefied repaired'
a) at least unti the ship is destroyed
b) until any turn in which damge reaches "destoyed" (but see question above) :shock:

CSC has a table with Saving Throw values for electronics against an EMP grenade. I think those could be used for radiation/emp hits against the computer if you wanted to.

My opinion (and Referee's Ruling) is that a system that has 3 hits CANNOT be repaired. It is destroyed.

As for endless battlefield repairs, I say YES, it is possible.

A battlefield repair effectively restores 1 hit, so as long as you don't get that third hit before you can repair the system, you are OK.

So it becomes a running fight between repairing a system before it takes another hit.

I don't work for Mongoose either, so YMMV
