two question about fighters and time

[karland]

Hello

Please, maybe someone can answer me these two questions:

1) How long lasts a Round in Noble Armada? One Minute or so? I need to know because I want to integrate NA into my Fading Suns RPG round.

2) Can Torpedo-Bombers be shoot down by fighter? I mean the weapons mounted on fighters have the „weak“ trait, which means they can't damage anything with shields. Bombers an Hvy Fighters have shields, so they are impervious to fighters. On the other hand, in the fighter chapter it's written that in a dogfight, the shield-stat can to be ignored. Now bombers are no fighters, but they have the dogfight trait, so I guess they count as fighters. Under this assumption fighters can shoot down Bombers (and everything else with a dogfight score) even though they have shields. Is this correct. I mean, what else are fighters good for? And how do the shields behave when the bomber gets hit in a dogfight? Are they applied against the damage as normal or completely ignored?

Thanks for your help.

1. i dont know but am sure you can fit it in with your RPG, or matt might pop in and say.

2. yes to kill a bomber a fighter does a dogfight, so 1d6 + dogfight score. most bombers have a negative dogfight score so obviously should lose to fighters unless very lucky.
its not shooting as such, but dogfighting which is differant.

Remember that bombers have the Fighter trait, so they follow all the rules for fighters including dogfighting.
