I was looking through the rules on Ion Cannons last night and got confused by the damage values in the weapons chart. If I remember right, (I don't have the book in front of me,) it showed 2-6, 2-3, & 12 for the Damage. Shouldn't it be 6, 3, & 12? Also anyone know where playtest Vuldar Ship cards appeared?
Thanks!

Yes, the damage should be 6, 3, and 12.

PS. Moved discussion to the Rules topic ...

Thanks, I figured that was the case. Are these playtest ships available in a Communiqué somewhere?

Sorry to bring back a dead topic, but I have a question and figured it was best not to make a new thread that would only recive one or two posts.

how do the Ion Cannons work as far as damage? It says things like 2-6 and 2-3, how are those determined? Or, is it just the highest ammount, as would be indicated by this post.

And sorry if my question was already answered, I am making a scenario with the Vudar and need to know for certain.

The rule is answered by this post. The damage for a normally loaded ion cannon is 6. The damage for an overloaded ion cannon is 12. The "2-" in the damage column is a typo.

I noticed the same thing. However, when you read the actual rules and don't just read the chart, it tells you the proximity torps are 3 points and the O/L torps are 12. I figured from the chart that the normal torps were 6 points. See, that's why it's still playtest material. Without us, they might have never caught that. Very Happy

I just don't get why it was put in there in the first place, but oh well...

Thanks for the quick answer.

I'm actually really glad they did include it. I want ALL the rules, even playtest rules in these reference books. When I mess around with the ISC ships, I'm glad I don't have to dig up the Booster 0 rules too.
