Ship Selection

[Lorcan Nagle]

Might be interesting as an optional rule, but I wouldn't want it as a mandatory one.

For Diesel and Mr. Meister you might have missed the point that you would have tables specifically designed against spcific races, ie a narn table for when they fight Drazi and a different one for Centauri and yet another for Earth. This eliminates the "Daft" choices as Hiffano was so quick to say.

I don't think you can miss a point that isn't explicitly stated anywhere!

I'm still not a fan of the whole idea though, regardless, as half the fun (IMHO) is putting the list together.

Personally, I'd prefer to see something like if you are playing in a tourney with 5 Battle FAPs, you must create a core list using 3 FAPs, but the remaining 2 FAPs you can tailor based on your opponent.

2nd --> Based on expected enemy forces has a random ship selector based on priority level.


Maybe that wasn't specific enough....

Why can't it work on points?

Working out the FAP is annoying and confusing when you have to check other people's

I have always been on the same page with you here!!

might be easy enough to specify that "at least half your force must be the same PL as the scenario"

That works for me. Even Drazi should be able to cope with that, and probably better than they can deal with a ship limit.

Random selection biases massively against races with big fleet lists. Shadows, vorlons, Drakh etc. have little to worry about as they have few ship types. They'll get basically the same fleet. EA, Centauri, Narn, etc. would suffer and can end up with non-competitive fleets simply because they have a large versatile selection. That defeats the whole point of a wide selection of ships.
