I'm not sure if I found an issue or if I don't understand something. In the example of play, there is a paragraph that says:

The results are 3, 4, 2, 5,
6, and 5. With an accurate +2 modifier all six phasers hit and they are
well inside the Kill Zone range of 8

The example is correct. Those die rolls with the +2 for Accuracy are actually 5, 6, 4, 7, 8 & 7 and anything 4 or greater hits so all the phasers hit.

I swear I typed more than this, not sure what happened.

My actual question is that it goes on to say that this causes 12 points of damage, 2 of which bypass the shields.

I would think it is only 1 to bypass the shields as there is only 1 natural six.

Sorry for the confusion.

I've found from experience that certain symbols cause this software to ignore all text thereafter.

I occasionally highlight something when I don't mean to,
then when I type my next line/thought,
it types over it.
Don't always catch it before I post (not just here).

Dal is correct.
Inside the Kill Zone, Phasers gain the Multihit-2 trait.
The natural 6 causes 2 hits, both of which are rolled on the Damage Table to see their effects.

In Boost Energy to Shields, a ship with less than 10 starting shields can add 1d3 shields. Is this correct or it should be 1d6?

Under admin shuttles, it says each shuttle can carry 2 marines, but the table says 1. Which is correct? (According to the old rules, it was 1)

2 Marines per shuttle. I need a page number if you want that fixed.

Scoutdad,

Happy New Year to you! Lang may yer lum reek as we say back home.

Finally got a chance to sit and read through the ACTA:SF rules revision - good job by the way.

I have a couple of quick questions. The first concerns the Cargo trait. The rules say "The owner of the ship can choose to take as much damage as he desires on cargo" and then specifies that you have to take one damage and all the criticals on the ship. Does damage taken against the cargo reduce the cargo score? E.g. if I choose to take 4 hits from a volley on the cargo of a small freighter is the cargo trait reduced from 12 to 8? This would infer that eventually when the cargo score hits zero, I can no longer take hits on cargo.

Second question relates to Romulan conversions of Klingon ships. The KF5R is based on the same hull as the F5. However, I note the damage/critical scores are lower for the Romulan ships. Same for the KR and D6. For the KRC and D7C, the Romulan ship has a higher rating. Are these correct?

Thanks Scoutdad - I think I had the cargo mostly right; you lose the cargo score, but not the trait.

I'll have a look at my FC cards when I get back to base camp from the beautiful New Forest in the south of England. From memory, the F5 and K5R should be the same as in Fed Cdr the changes are disruptors to plasma-F and a drone to a shuttle. Plus the K5R loses the ADD, which I guess might account for the difference.

Based on the low-toner Ship Cards in the Commander's Circle, the D6 (by my count) has 89 total ship + frame boxes, the KR has 87, the F5 52, and the K5R 51. Divided by three and rounding up the result (and then dividing that number by three and rounding down) should bring the D6 to 30/10, the KR to 29/9, the F5 to 18/6, and the K5R to 17/5.

While I don't have the Ship Cards on hand, the D7L SSD in the 2014 Advanced Missions SSD book pdf (minus the security stations) comes to 99 ship + frame boxes (for a score of 33/11), while the KRL* SSD has 101 boxes (for a score of 34/11).

So all six ships should match the listings currently in revision C.

*Since the D7C has been re-named the D7L on account of its wartime refit, should the KRC be similarly re-designated as the KRL? (Prior to the B-refit of Y170, the KRC had G-torps in place of the KRL's Plasma-S launchers.)
