I'm going to half to say i was very disappointed with the Nobel Armada information in the new Signs & Portents. I've been trying to promote this game a bit, telling people hey give it a chance, but not only do we get to see very little new stuff you posted bad drawing instead of photos. Very disappointing for your first foray back into the miniatures market.
I hope that we get a much better view of all the ships, some renders of proposed ships and a battle report with actual photos in the months to come.

I have a question regarding the Gatling Laser rules as described on page 17, which reads, "• Enemy fighters.
• A rocket, missile or torpedo attack.
• A boarding action using a grapple gun.
Whenever a gatling laser reacts to one of these threats, roll three Attack Dice for it."
While this Rule of Three is described on the enemy fighters and boarding action sections, there is no reference to 3 dice being used in the Rocket etal section. Is the typo with the quoted paragraph or with the Rocket attack rules?
Having a Rule of Three is nice because it provides a sense of realism in a battle. For example, a small ship with one Gatling Laser can only destroy a maximum of 3 out of 10 rockets launched by a much larger ship. Without this restriction the Gatling Laser becomes disproportionately powerful, potentially (though admittedly not realistically) 10, since there does not seem to be any kind of burn out rules like there was with Interceptors.

Gatliong Lasers can indeed only use three AD against each _type_ of attack - so, three against missiles, no matter how many get fired at you.
