Post by Kang »

What weapons does a Vudar Q-Ship carry?

For a Hydran Q-Ship, what is a Stinger-2?

Thanks!

Stinger-II should be a fusion armed fighter with a Ph-G and Fusion Beam charges.
I don't think that the Stinger-I or the Stinger-F are going to show up in FedCom.

For the Vudar Q-ship, I'd say that it would mount two (or one) Ion Cannon.

EDIT: edited in case I had given too much info about the Stingers.

Stinger-2 rules are in Distant Kingdoms. According to War & Peace, Vudar Q-ships use Ion Cannons or Phaser-2s.

I'd bet you five bucks that he was asking which boxes were Stinger-two's not what they actually are.

In that case, I think they don't have Stingers, but they might go in the weapons boxes, I dunno.

If I'm wrong, then he was probably asking "Is there a difference between a stinger and a stinger-2" The answer is none.

If I'm still wrong, I'm not a psychic, and this post was useless.

(If any of you says anything about this in relation to my sig, I will kill you :P )

Terry got the answers correct.

For the Hydran Stingers on a Q-ship, the WPN box is converted to a shuttle/fighter box in order to hold the Stinger. It would then be hit on "shuttle" hits.

Not to confuse anyone, but the Stinger-I does appear in the Middle Years in Briefing #2.

If they would get Briefing #2 up on e23, I'd be able to find this out. (Hint, Hint!)

Piney: You get half a cigar. I knew what Stinger 1's and 2's were in the SFB context, and I knew that the Q-ship could carry them, but wondered if there was anything 'special' about the Stinger-2's per se in FC.

Anyway guys, thanks for the answers :)
