(Answered) Fighters/aircraft carried in Small Craft bays
« on: 11 December 2011, 13:35:18 »
Going by fluff and the game stats of some units, eg. Avalon class cruiser and Merchant-class JumpShip, then ASFs can operate from Small Craft bays. The same would also apply to Conventional Fighters & Fixed-Wing Support Vehicles operating from DropShips and large Support Vehicles.

However, judging by the Small Craft Bay entry on the Transport Bay table on p239, the Capacity lists only "1 Small Craft (up to 200 tons)" rather than "1 Aircraft/Fighter/Small Craft (up to 200 tons)", which apparently contradicts the fluff.

Small Craft bay can carry any aerospace unit up to 200 tons.

Thank you, Welshman.

Should this be added to the TM errata?

If you had a question on it, then it probably needs errata.

Thanks you,

I was about to post on the errata thread, but it occured to me, does "any aerospace unit up to 200 tons" also include 200t DropShips?

Yes, 200 ton DropShips may fit in a small craft bay.
