A gaming buddy and I were looking at Battleships Armada this afternoon. We had few questions:
Can all of expendible seekers in the Drone Racks on the Federation/Klingon/Khazinti ships fire at once? If so it will be a massive barrage that would resemble a salvo of Capital-ship missiles launched from External-0rdance Racks on Starfire ships...
I was wondering why the Phaser Fours don't fire out to 24 or even 30 hexes? In SFB, these base-mounted weapons had the longest range.
I like the idea of making Armor into "Shields" and then using half for Front Shields, the FF arc & the other half for the Aft Shields covering nearly all of the AX arc. Does this change the cost of a ship, that is, can all ships use this option?
I was couriouswhyno weapons have the Acr weapon trait? It would allow these ships to have 1/3 leassweapons with the same firepower & cost. It also allows gamers to roll fewer dice. All of my personal ships have Acr.
All in all, this Battleships Armada is impressive. I like the way webs are done. Brilliant!

Darn the Fusion Torpedoes; full speed ahead!
