An APT gets hit by a pair of drones, and loses all of her warp and impulse, but still has four reactor boxes.
Can she still move? I *think* the answer is 'yes' in FC (it's definately 'no' in SFB), but I'd like to be sure. |

Dan like Piner said the answer is yes you keep moving in FC, but...
Can someone confirm if he can still Accelerate or Decelerate, or if he can still HET. I am pretty sure the answer in FC is Power is Power so he could still manuver. Also Can he keep moving in the next turn with no Warp Boxes? _________________ -Dal

as long as he has power from somewhere he can move. but with no warp boxes chances are he wont have much power anyway. |

The APT has a move cost of 1/4, so with four reactors she could still make speed-16...
Losing all the warp boxes does make the ship terribly vulnerable to 'frame' hits. That APT was destroyed shortly afterwards by two ph-2 and a non-OL disruptor hit from an E4.
Thanks for the replies.
(Now I'm waiting for damaged Andromedan ships merrily zipping along to safety on battery power alone ) |

Batteries don't produce power, but PA panels *can* dump power into them if the Andros are being shot at (and when are they not? )
I wasn't being too serious there...I just want Andromedans in FC... |

Yes, power is power. There is no differentiation between types of power. _________________

Nice to see people referring to ships as 'she' and 'her' _________________

Another SFBism creeping up on me. We never allowed movement after Warp and Imp were gone. Thx for the correction. _________________ Speed is life; Patience is victory
