GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• 03/06/00 - Various TC's Changed! ADB has announced the following TC Changes. These are effective immediately for all new SFA game starts:
  • ROMULAN TKR: Remove one APR from deckhouse.
  • ROMULAN TKE: Add 2 lab, 2 tran, 1 battery, 1 flag
  • NEO-THOLIAN: Add 2 impulse.
  • ARCHAEO-THOLIAN: Remove one battery, no changes to shields.
  • LYRAN: Change the two phaser-3s to 360ø. No changes to shields.
  • WYN SHARK: Delete drone points.
  • ISC: Delete the two phaser-3s we added in the last official change
  • SELTORIAN: Delete third shield cracker; see changes to weapons rules.

• 03/06/00 - OFFICIAL SELTORIAN RULES CHANGES FOR TOURNAMENT AND NON-TOURNAMENT GAMES
  Copyright 2000 ADB Inc.
  • E17.41 Change to allow overload to be the 1st or 2nd shot. No other changes; interval, limit of one overload per turn, remain in force. Consecutive shots over a turn break can be overloaded or non-overloaded or one of each in any order.
  • E17.221 We have decided to make no change in holding costs.
  • E17.13: Repair cost will be 8 for full repair. Hasty repair is 4 points and results in a weapon limited to one shot per turn and range 10. The one shot can be normal or overload. The 12-impulse delay for shots over a turn break remains.
  • E16.4 Shield Crackers affect PA panels as any other weapon. They cause degradation points and fill up panels with energy. However, as Shield Crackers cannot cause internal damage, any SC damage points which penetrate the panels cause no damage. Shield cracker energy stored in a PA panel is just like any other energy and if released will cause damage.
  • We have decided NOT to accept the proposal that shield cracker hits delay or prevent reinforcement of shields or PA panel status changes.
    
• 04/01/99 - ANDRO & SELT TC's Changed! The ANDRO TC has been officially changed by ADB. The changes consist of: 4 Cargo changed to 2 Chargo, 4 AWR changed to 2 APR, and NO PA mine option. (DisDev remains unchanged.)
      The SELT TC has also been changed, with the addition of an another Web Breaker.
      See the ADB website for more info and the new SSD.
