Really Dumb Question

[EDFDarkAngel1]

As the topic says... two of the players I got hooked into ACTA had a Shadow vs Drakh battle during a long campaign session.

During the battle, an Ancient Shadow ship hit the Drakh Mothership in Turn 1 and did horrendous damage do it. It was not Crippled, Skel Crewed... but it did suffer a Vital Systems Bridge Hit which removes Special Actions. They played it as they could not use the Huge Hangers since the ship could not do any special actions.

However, a ship may still use Scout if it loses Special Actions... so a Drakh ship should still be able to use Huge Hangers in the same fashion. Is this correct?

I think so as scout is a trait and not a special action

Huge hangers is a trait, too. A no SA critical has no bearing on it.

the only way you would take out the huge hangars is by loosing traits.
loosing SA's mean you couldn't scramble the carried ships, but you could still launch 4 a turn until such time as you loose carrier 4, at which point you can lanch 1 a turn, or you loose huge hangars in which case you can launch nothing.
you can loose traits by a critical that says loose a random trait, or by being crippled and rolling to see what traits you loose
