[CordwainerFish]

- In the event the heavy fleet carrier project was scrapped

Not incorrect.

 

[Technetium 98]

Not incorrect.

The full quote is:

In the event the heavy fleet carrier project was scrapped but the Uashhki went into low-volume production in the Deneb and Diaspora sectors.

In my original excerpt, yes - 'in the event' makes sense. In the full quote, it doesn't.

 

[CordwainerFish]

The full quote is:

In my original excerpt, yes - 'in the event' makes sense. In the full quote, it doesn't.

Not incorrect.

 

[Technetium 98]

Not incorrect.

... Never in my life heard it in that context, but alright. I rescind my complaint.

 

[Talon Greyfeather]

Yeah, it feels like there is something wrong with that sentence. Even in the link CordwainerFish provided, the phrase "In the event" does not start a sentence. What event is being referenced?

Could be a UK/US grammar difference, but I would rewrite the line.

 

[Sigtrygg]

The event is the preceding paragraph.

 

[Talon Greyfeather]

Yeah ... I got that after re-reading it several times. As written, US grammar has the "event" as the fleet carrier being scrapped not that it was proposed to operate with the Uashhki. That's why it was initially confusing (at least for me). If there was a comma after "In the event", it would have made things clearer.

I'm sticking with the UK/US grammar difference. One does not invalidate the other.

Love the book ... looking forward to more!

 

[Sigtrygg]

The is such a thing as US grammar? Well I never.

"Isn't that just the cutest thing?"

Back to the errata and the first post, p.10, for ten brigs worth of prisoners, shouldn't it be MCr2.5?

Right, fortunately the maths is still correct, I just recorded it wrong.

 

[Annatar Giftbringer]

I do love the way this book is arranged, with a couple pages of description and fluff per ship entry. Helps in fleshing them out and bring them to life.

Deckplans for large ships is always a challenge. The variant chosen for this book is brilliant!

As I understand High Guard, each launch tube can actually launch up to ten craft per round? Making some designs very launch capable, to say the least. On the other hand, HG does say that it takes one round to get a craft into position, so with individual tubes for every fighter to be launched, the preparations will be faster and smoother than for ships with one tube per squadron.

The Ukdargu intelligence ship states on p.47 that its 80 dt hangar typically carries two 50 dt utility vessels but sometimes even a jump capable courier. Last I checked, 2x50 is 100, and a jump courier also needs minimum 100 dt, and 100 is more than 80… The same page also mentions three pairs of missile barbettes, yet the stat sheet on p.45 has four, not six.

So great to finally see some stats for Zhodani capital ships! Shorter jump range and generally higher tonnage than imperial designs should make them quite brutal opponents. Interesting to read about their mixed squadron setup.

I was surprised to see the Kia heavy fighter portrayed so differently from two so recent publications (it was featured in Small Craft Catalogue), though I suppose that could be due to differing designs - one dedicated strike craft and one multipurpose version.

I like the multifunction approach of the Chredri Ivl! 50 dt is large enough for built-in versatility, and common shape and spare parts should make life easier aboard ship.

Two things about it though: as I understand the description the cockpit, cabin space and some cargo is actually enclosed within the vault for protection - while the deckplan shows the vault as a separate item.

I’m also not sure how the Chedri Ivl variant of the Kia mounts a torpedo launcher? Is that some form of specialized firmpoint mounted oneshot?



And finally, something that isn’t fully related to this particular book, but after this book, Alien Manual 1 and Adventure Class Ships, we still don’t have a selection of adventure class Zhodani warships, unless I’ve missed them somewhere?

Soo... just got a DriveThru email.

Is "War_Fleets_of_the_Fifth_Frontier_War_eboo.pdf" [sic] the updated one?

 

[Condottiere]

Is there an update?

I just downloaded it this morning.

 

[Technetium 98]

Yeah, there was.

... Oh bugger me, the first one's J-Drive power was correct, I was wrong!

 

[agentwigggles]

Yeah, there was.

... Oh bugger me, the first one's J-Drive power was correct, I was wrong!

dun dun DUN

 

[Terry Mixon]

Soo... just got a DriveThru email.

Is "War_Fleets_of_the_Fifth_Frontier_War_eboo.pdf" [sic] the updated one?

I really wish they'd create a thread for telling us these books have been updated. I never know and have to occasionally do spot checking. This isn't rocket science. Upload a new edition, make a post. Done.
