Drone Control Ships

Post by rharlan91 »

At the risk of being berated, is there a current updated list of ship card errata? Specifically, some Drone control ships (Kziniti Drone FF, Medium Cruiser and Drone War DD come to mind) do not have their 12 drone reference on their card. Some issues I can find have been addressed such as the Kzinti NCC has a revised card from communique when the Booster card didn't have it printed. Thanks for your time.

No need for worry. Completely reasonable question.

In the transition to Federation Commander, some ships lost their double-drone control. Basically, the ship has to be a CC or bigger (or a cruiser drone-only ship) to get double drone control. (I don't remember if small escorts get it or not.)

So, the Kzinti DF, CM and DWD all do not have double drone control. This was an intentional change and not an oversight. (The reason for the NCC mistake was that exactly where the dividing line was going to be was undecided at the time, and it didn't get updated in time.)

Why is there a risk of being berated? I cannot recall the last time I did that. Nobody fears honest questions.

This is a much nicer place than some other corners of the internet...

Thanks for the reply. I'm still confused by statement that the CC or above have the 12 drone control when the Kzinti Medium Drone and Medium Escort Cruiser clearly state they have 12 drone control.

The CMD and CME are both covered by the "cruiser drone-only ship" note above.
