LOL - as it was it didn't really matter since he didn't save enough power to accelerate and therefore took the 60 points in the down #1 shield thus ending the game.

But, I was curious because it could very well have come up had he saved one power. I guess I could have saved a power or two for ...

Ok, one more that came up last night. As I recall from SFB, if I launched a plasma torpedo it had to move one hex straight in the direction of launch before it could turn. Is that still the case or can it turn or more importantly HET if the target moves on Sub Pulse 1 and sideslips to the side of my ...

One more question that wasn't clear to me is how Evasive Maneuvers take effect. The rule clearly states that you announce EM at the end of any Defensive Fire phase but that it takes effect at the end of the subsequent Direct Fire phase, in effect giving your opponent one last shot without a penalty ...

I have heard of the "zero-cost" HET but mostly from my old SFB days but, admittedly I hadn't thought of it when I performed the HET I referred to in my earlier post. Although, I am not sure it would have worked since he ended up way out of my forward arc and circling around behind me so 60 degrees ...

To be honest, I didn't like it at first, it seemed to me to take the art of moving and presenting new shields out of the game but, now I love it. Now not only do I have an opportunity to out maneuver my opponent but I can do it more effectively than I could before by moving shield damage to the ...

It wasn't so much that we had time to reload full racks more than once but with the Andro moving 24+ we were in a situation where on Turn 2 my NCA could only launch 2 drones and was at capacity for drone control until the end of Turn 4 which, meant I could reload one rack on Turn 2, 3, and 4. Our ...

Thank you very much and great job!

I think the problem we are having is separating legacy SFB knowledge from FC.

One more quick one, the rules indicate you can reload drone racks but it doesn't say how many reloads you get. Is it one full set of reloads or infinite?

I realize it shouldn't come ...

Hi,

I am along time SFB player but, a new FC player and I had a couple of questions that came up in a Kzinti vs. Andro game that we just finished and I couldn't find an answer to them.

1. When you allocate internal damage and score a "drone" hit which, goes to PA panel, can the Andro player choose ...

It's interesting, I was thinking about this today before I read this thread and the two options I came up with for the Kzinti was either not to worry about it and put out 4 drones a round for 4 rounds or plan on a rolling schedule that included repairs. The rolling schedule I came up with was 4; 4 ...
