Skin Dancing

Ok, under Skin Dancing in the ISA section, it states that ships must make a CQ 9 check, and fighters must roll a 5+ on a d6. Seeing as the base CQ for the ISA is 9, which means ships only need a 4+, this means it is more difficult for fighters to perform this maneuver than White Stars. Is it just me, or does this not make sense? Shouldn't the smaller, more maneuverable craft, such as fighters, have an easier time with it??? :?

It's not just about the fancy flying, though. It's also about avoiding the point defence systems. The White Star can largely ignore this (since AF can't damage capital ships), whereas fighters must take a more difficult flight path to avoid all of the anti-fighter defences.

That's a hell of a meta-game, ret-con answer there, Burger!

 

[Burger]

Yeah, I'm getting frighteningly good at those :lol:

 

[Lord David the Denied]

I'd be worried mate... :wink:

 

[Burger]

I'd like to point out that my mis-spelling of "White Star" above is purely accidental!!!

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Yeah, course it is... :wink:

 

[Triggy]

I thought it was intentional at first...

I notice you haven't edited your post to change it though

Well given Burger's past endeavours of misquoting I could justify fixing it for him, but I won't because I don't do things like that :lol:

What you mean is, LBH, that you can't handle a joke and don't want to give Burger an excuse... :wink:

 

[lastbesthope]

No that's not what I mean, but at least you've also learned your lesson.

I mean c'mon, any WS played by me instantly becomes the type Burger described, though that's more down to me than the ship type in question :lol:

[Lord David the Denied]

Pah, lies and misinformation. You are a rogue, sir.

 

[lastbesthope]

If by rogue you mean someone who remembers to assault a planet during a Planetary Assault scenario as opposed to chasing a Tara'Lin then yes, yes I am :lol:

[Lord David the Denied]

I mean a guy who bangs on with the same tired, tedious line for a year... :roll:

 

[lastbesthope]

But I always notice the bored look in their eyes :lol:

LBH

 

[Lord David the Denied]

If you do, you don't do anything about it...

 

[Taran]

Is the bored look, perhaps, the Reason he uses the same line over and over and over and over again?

It is for me...

 

[lastbesthope]

I never daid I sd anything about it, I said I noticed it.

It was an oblique attempt at a Chasing Amy reference. nothing more.
