|
|
In the Captain's log 37 history section, and in the Scenario Attack on the Wyn Cluster, it says that the WYN owned a small number of Orion LRs and CRs (and one BR). When selecting a WYN battleforce, may they use those Orion-class ships as is, but without the ability to double engines? |

Yes, they can. They can use those Orion ships with two changes:
- They cannot double their engines (as you already stated).
- Their weapons choices are more limited. They use the weapons selection given in (5L1) for their class, but suffer the same limitations on "foreign" weapons listed in (5L8). _________________

Presumably these WYN "orions" should have lower point values as well? _________________

And no cloaking devices I assume? Thanks |

Orion ships used by the WYN retain the same point value as the Orion ships. It just isn't worth the bother to make a point change for the engine doubling.
No cloak. That is true Orion only. _________________

Don't they also lose the stealth rule? IIRC the Orions insisted on no pirate-specific changes (stealth, engine doubling, stolen cable trivideo channels built in to the communications system). _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

No, they keep the stealth. That is inherent to the design, so it stays. _________________
