I would assume, get far enough away from the nearest Klingon that they can't both be on the map at the same time.

I don't have a technical in-game reason for the "deficiency", but it is what it is. (Also, don't forget that the ISC doesn't have it either.)

Random off the top of my head attempt to PSB it... The equipment added to a Pl-F that gives it the Carronade ability can only be made using the somewhat ...

Twas the 3rd ship, the HMS Britanic that was converted to a Hospital Ship. She is the one that went down to a mine on 21 November 1916.

HMS Olympic spent time in WWI as a Troopship, but survived the war and remained in passenger service until 1935 when she was retired and then broken up for scrap.

Monty, when you are running out of room for new mini's, the proper response isn't "buy fewer". It is "Get a bigger house".

They are a race the Federation 'created' for use in combat simulations. Their ships have heavy weapons with FX and RX arcs, creating a broadside zone of maximum firepower somewhat reminiscent of wet-navy battleships.

The name comes from the firing arcs.

My assumption re:2400s is that when a given mold gets to the point of needing replacement they will look at the sales of that particular figure over the past year or so to determine if it makes financial sense to replace it.

As long as they are likely to make a profit from replacing the mold, the ...

If Heroclix keeps their scale consistent, then their miniatures are just a bit too small.

They aren't even close to consistent in the scale.

The Excelsior and Constitution II (Enterprise-A) figures are both 63mm long, despite the fact that the Excelsior is a bit over 50% longer.

Or compare the ...

I would assume that if the various Orions are pursuing different objectives, they are probably representing different Cartels and/or are independent operators. As such, they wouldn't actually be the same 'empire' and would therefore be free to fire on each other if they felt it suited their best ...

To make Orions workable :
No negative value option weapons can be preassigned.
Controlling player can swap out the options.

Essentially, the person fighting against Orions gets to pick the hulls, but not the loadout.
