Vorchan Damage

[Morakas]

SFoS states Vorchan damage as 15. Box set fleet list states 18. Any body know which is official?

My guess is that your box set is probably not revised edition. In my revised edition, the Haven stats match at Hull 5, Damage 15/5, Crew 20/6.

Yes, that does sound too low -- and the ship has been universally identified as needing some help.

 

[Morakas]

Thanks! I don't think that the ship needs any major help. Maybe just raise the damage back up to 18.

There is a temporal componenet to that Burger, a Rulesmaster ruling that is made before a released supplement counteracts it is made null and void unless reruled.

But basically, the most recent book is the correct one.

It would be nice if the vorchan was a little bit harder to kill. It is one of the iconic B5 ships, and mine always seem to go pop. I'm not kidding, I never seem to have any left at the end of a battle, regardless of whether I win or loose.

The Vorchan was quite hard in the old boxed set - 20 damage and 10 TA AD IIRC - and then was toned down, possibly a bit too much, in SFoS.

I'd like Mongoose to re-issue the Fleet Action scale mini of the Vorchan as the Vorchan itself as a 'pack hunting' LCV similar to the Myrmidon at Patrol PL, and keep the current 'Full Scale' model as the Demos, representing a much larger and more powerful ship at Raid PL.

sounds like its another area that the vorchan and white star are similar

It seems to me that the vorchan was a meaner ship onscreen than it is in the game. After all in series 5 they beat the tar out of a whitestar. (actually, this might not be a good example, as I've never played against an IA fleet)

though they did outnumber the WS 4 to 1 iirc

Can't argue with that, I've had time to watch the episode since my last post. But I still think they need beefing up a bit. Not so much weapon wise, just in surviveablity. I tend to play a lot of small (4 point skirmish) games at the local club with people who have never played, and I try to use ships that were seen on the show. It gives people the wrong impression of the centauri when the vorchans on the table pop.
