Rule 1, was it meant to be 0.33 or less?

"1. No ship with a movement cost of less than 0.33 may be selected as part of this battle group".

"16. Police ships are generally excluded by the movement cost requirement, the Klingon D5I is specifically excluded."

In the G3 book most POLs are 0.33 move cost, not many ships are excluded (Just Romulan snipe and Orion SLV types).

I hope I got the drone costs right. Maybe someone could help me out and check my math.

Wayne Douglas Power:

Sigh. Yes, it was meant to be 0.33 or less. Yes, police ships are excluded.

Soeren Klein:

Upgraded type-I drones from slow to medium speed costs 0.5 BPV each, so your speed upgrade costs are correct. Exchanging a one space explosive module for an ECM module is a zero cost exchange, so the cost for your type-I-ECM drone is correct, but remember that it is not self-guiding as it not a type-III frame nor have you installed ATG. These are off the top of my head, so I cannot confirm the probe drone as I do not off the top of my head remember if that is also a zero cost exchange of an explosive module for a probe module.

By Alan Trevor (Thyrm) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 05:21 pm: Edit

But if it's "0.33 or less", isn't Soren's FFS USS Sacagawea excluded? That also excludes Tholian Patrol Corvettes.

wanted it in will repost with names and such

By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 06:05 pm: Edit

I think the Superhawk is a true carrier (and not a Hydran hybrid ship) so cannot be included.

By wayne douglas power (Wayne) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 06:08 pm: Edit

Alan Trevor:

I would say yes FFS not allowed.

from SPP earlier post on rule 1,
"Yes, it was meant to be 0.33 or less. Yes, police ships are excluded."

By Steve Petrick (Petrick) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 06:18 pm: Edit

No. I am fouling up. Basically police ships and Snipes, anything with a movement cost less than 0.33 and police ships (some of which have movement costs more than 0.33) are excluded. Movement cost 0.33 frigates that are not police ships are fine. Note that Gorn FFs are both police ships and regular warships and are allowed.

I have amended the instructions.

By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 06:35 pm: Edit

Wait, Hybrids and casual carriers are allowed, but I dunno if SUP-A is one of those, can't remember.

By wayne douglas power (Wayne) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 06:43 pm: Edit

Federation FFS is allowed. Ok, thank you SPP understood.

Nothing to understand, it was entirely my failure to be clear that created the issue.

Well Rats it does say true carrier in the bottom for the SUP-A uhmm

Better to add a small ship then buy a bunch of COs with the FHK leading.

War weary but still fighting for the Patriarch and the Kzinti Hegemony. Sadly, our frigates were lost in battle and not replaced. Same with our scout. At least we were able to get a MRS and a few transporter bombs.

By wayne douglas power (Wayne) on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 10:49 pm: Edit

Hmm, National Guard ships from Module 8, 9, 11 can be deployed, interesting (I may swap out a destroyer or two for some Guard elements from the Kaldor sector).

Jeff Anderson welcome to the battle group 550.

By Jeffrey George Anderson (Jeff) on Friday, November 22, 2019 - 01:52 am: Edit

Thank you, Wayne; it's nice to feel welcomed!

Richard, I'd like to apologize; it wasn't my intent to step on anyone's toes. I guess I just got caught up in the excitement of contributing.

Perhaps we can discuss the matters? I have a couple ideas for how to fight my little group (they're vague at this time, but who knows), but my lack of tactical skill is such that, well, let's just say I think the needs of ADB, Inc. for this article could probably be better served with your group and tactics...
