This is fantastic, count me in. Haven't ever played before, I'd like to go as Klingon but as that's taken I suppose I'll put on my best Kirk face!

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like what I want to do is avoid being in the D7's front arc as it can bring 3x Phaser 1s and 4x Disruptors to bear from that angle.

Just to be clear, to do this we'll be needing to read through the free rulebook to get the basics so we know how to allocate energy, declare shooting, etc, correct?

To confirm, I have two Warp Engines producing 15 power each, +4 from Impulse and +2 from APR for a total of 36 power? I know you'll be handling the exact allocation, but I'd like to know how much I have to work with while planning my orders and setting priorities, if that's alright.

Quick question- the cadet rulebook says you may not allocate energy to damage control teams before a shield has taken damage (page 33, bottom right). Is that something that's different in the full rules, or an error?

Orders in, Operation: Oh God What Am I Doing Someone Help. Edit: I keep calling my ship the Constitution in my orders, I'm sorry for any confusion. In the setup post, the text calls the Federation ship the Constitution while the token is the Republic. I'll make sure to use the right name in future orders and posts.

Gnoman posted:The token was an error that I corrected in subsequent impulses - note that the Republic doesn't appear after Impulse 1. Ahhh, okay. It's still in the beginning of the first turn resolution's post, which is what threw me off, and I guess I just sorta mentally missed it being called the Constitution through the rest of the post. The part I'm talking about is: Gnoman posted:The Republic is moving at speed 17, while the Terror is moving at 15.

One thing I want to say is that I really did have trouble figuring out how to move well. Because I needed to plan every turn's movement in advance, while I could set some conditional stuff, I think I would have done Stop: Phaser Time a lot less had I been able to go impulse by impulse. I realize how ungainly that would be to do in this format and am by no means saying we should, but if it's something that may require addressing and finding a solution for with this format of playing the game. Nowhere near experienced to know how good an idea this is, but maybe being speed 0 gives shots against you a -1 on the hit roll/phaser damage chart?Gnoman posted:the Gorn CA has 8 Phaser 1s (1 FA+L, 2 LS, 1 L+RA, 1 R+RA, 2 LS 1 R+FA I think one of those "2 LS" is a typo'd 2 RS? Either that or they plan to be a Specter Gunship IIIIIIIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. I also have a couple of questions: For Plasma Torpedo ECCM, you mention they can use the firing ship's ECCM rating, being considered guided for that purpose. Does the guiding ship's ECCM stack with or overlap the Plasma Torp's innate 2 ECCM? Why would you not use Type 3 drones over Type 1 or 2? They're as fast as a Type 2, has a huge fuel capacity, and do the same damage with the same resilience. Is there something I've overlooking that makes them less desirable? Cause if you can do a 1:1 trade for Type 1 to Type 3, I'm not seeing why I ever wouldn't. There's a limit to the amount of energy you can put into ECM, up to sensor rating. Is there a similar limit to ECCM?

Thalantos posted:Looking forward to glorious victory/ignominous defeat! Same here! Good luck, and I believe the Kzinti SSD that's now in Gnoman's post explicitly states that each one can control up to 8 at a time, and launch one per drone rack per turn. So, you can put out and sustain quite a few missiles! Gonna need to learn more about these Wild Weasel shuttles, methinks....

Thalantos posted:I took a look at the SSD and I didn't see anything saying anything like that. I vaguely remember from the actual rules I haven't read in a decade that Kzinti get to control more than their sensor rating of drones....  Doesn't say how many it can control, you're right. I must have imagined that. And yeah, Wild Weasel means slow going and no weapons. Still nice to have one ready to go as an emergency measure if your missiles get too close. It only has to lure them a bit away to open range and let the ship turn to bring new weapons to bear and hopefully shoot them down.

berryjon posted:Scatterpack #1: Launch facing E; move E then Sideslip F. So, despite being launched like a seeking weapon, it is capable of sideslipping? Is that something only shuttles can do, or can drones/torpedoes do it as well? Also, can you specify targets for each drone on board, or do they all go after one target?

Added Space posted:If you're shooting missiles at us you're doing decently, I think. This. You definitely had the upper hand in the first turn, since you have Drones that you can sic on us while our Phasers couldn't fire. Now we've got them powered up, but you've got the ability to keep the pressure on along with slightly better maneuverability. You definitely have me and Added working hard to figure out how to avoid taking drones to the face so far!

Xenocides posted:Phaser energy holds over and can be used for any phaser. I believe that's only with battery power however, as which shield is being specifically reinforced is determined when you spend the energy. So if you allocate energy at the beginning of the turn from impulse/warp/APR, you decide then which facing's being reinforced. That's what I got from the Cadet's Handbook at any rate.
