Several Questions

Hi, i havent played ACTA since the Amaggedon rules came out.

So i will now restart with 2nd edition.

First of all, there is the Earth Tantalus Carrier but i found only the rules for the 1st Edition, where are the 2nd Edition rules ?

Then i always read that the Gaim are the ultra choise and overpowered but i dont see why? They got longrange Energy mines, right, but with few DD and cant make crit. So against bigger ships they might have problems, right ? Then they got plenty of fighter, but they are very fragil.

Then did anyone know when the Brakiri Warship will be released and if the Drahk gets new models ?

And is it right that dodge on ships is more powerful, because there are no more anti-fighter traits on normal weapons, so you cant neogate dodge on normal ships, exeption E-Mines ?

1: the tantalus will probably be reworked for 2e.

2: see Gaim threads, these guys dont have a real weakness.

3: brakiri warships are out i believe, just not the armageddon ship yet.

4: there is no AF trait on weapons, however it has been replaced with accurate trait which is basically the 1e AF trait. most ships now come with an anti-fighter rating which can be used against attacking fighters within 2".

please can you give me the link or tell me where i can find it ?


Another Question, on 2nd Edition you got Admirals but in the Rulebook are ony 3. Are there Admirals for the other Races and where i can find them?

 

[katadder]

the rulebook has rules for making your own.  take a closer read of that chapter and you will see what i mean.

The Tantalus is in S&P WG #49 http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=1543&qsSeries=13

The Drakh got one new model - the patrol cruiser.

So there won't be a redesign for the old Drahk ships ?

@katadder: ok thanks, i got it. I think i have read that charpter to quick

There is a new carrier and mothership, but no others.
