Sector Base question - Communique 159

Post by Grimmshade »

This is probably a stupid question, but what are the red (filled in) weapons marked SEN on the ship card for the Sector Base?

Also, is there an index somewhere of all the ships added in Communiques?

Thanks!

The red boxes are the special sensors, electronic warfare systems covered by an optional rule.

The Reference Ship Chart on the website lists all ships in the game as of CL52. That's been a while but we normally did one every six months. I'll see about getting it updated after CL53.

A further question on the Sector Base. The description states it is a base between a Battle Station and a Star Base. I note that the point value (squadron scale) of the BATS is 300; the point value of the STB is 280. A very quick comparison shows that the BATS is more heavily armed (Fed version has 5 photons against the STB having 2) but the STB has double the shields and more of almost everything else. Is the point value of the STB confirmed?
Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie......
