white star WSC-2

[angelicus]

in armageddon under faq it states that white stars get 4+ dodge an 4 AD molecular pulsars with no precise ok..

what about the WSC-2 white stars do they also get 4+ dodge and 4AD molecular pulsars with no precise ????

cause that would make the WSC-2 worthless

WSC-2s stay as per SFOS stats with 3+ dodge etc.

thx for letting me know that

another question the WSC-2 and the gunschip can carry missile's can they change there missile load say HARM missile's
cause i can't find it (dit not look hard enough, missed it) where it state's that they can or can't

 

[katadder]

think its been said that they cant. the missile variants are EA only, not ISA.

 

[lastbesthope]

The ISA do not get Missile Variants, only EA.

lol see you still intent on upping the postcount LBH, i already said that about half a day b4 now if you wanted to be useful find where its stated.

It's not stated, but that is not the point. It is also not stated that I cannot teleport across the table, but I can't. The reasoning we've seen for why the ISA do not get missle variants is that there is no rule saying they do. There is a specific rule allowing EA to have them. If Missle variants were in the general rules they would be available to anyone with missles (say the Drazi) but they are in the EA fleet list section, thus allowing only EA ships to use them.

i know that but am sure there was an official ruling somewhere. probably one of the deleted rulesmaster topics. for people that dont know it.

 

[Reaverman]

Its worth pointing out that the Missiles are in the EA fleet lists, and not ISA. So no, ISA cant use missile varients.

 

[Greg Smith]

The rules actually say, "Any Earth Alliance ship equipped with missile racks can swap..."

I don't think that needs a ruling.

 

[Locutus9956]

Yeah it is pretty clear. Missile varients are an EA specific rule just as Emines varients are Narn specific. On a related note though, what happens if an ISA fleet takes an ally EA or Narn ship? Can they use their varient ordanace or is it limited to EA and Narn fleets (I would assume they can as they are not considered ISA ships and dont get any of the ISA special rules so I see no reason for them to lose their normal ones).

 

[Burger]

I would think EA can have missile variants (and Narn get emine variants) when taken as an ISA ally. Since Drazi get their Aggression bonus, Vree get telepathy, etc.

I would see no reason that an EA ally (e.g. Apollo) cannot come with EA vairiant missiles in its racks, or a Narn ally (e.g. G'Quan) with vatriant energy mines as each Ally is chosen from a non-ISA fleet list and those particular lists (EA and Narn) allows for the use of missile/mine variants.
