(Answered) Escape Pod (Maritime)
« on: 21 February 2012, 15:25:31 »
Page 216 of TechManual states under Escape Pod

Quote
Unit Restrictions: Only naval-based Combat and Support Vehicles (including submersibles, hydrofoils and displacement hull craft) 5 tons and over may use maritime escape pods.

As well as (under the Construction rules)

Quote
Naval (especially submersible) Support Vehicles over 5 tons may use maritime escape pods. Pods are not considered to occupy weapon or equipment slots on spacecraft or Support Vehicles, but should be noted in the unit’s statistics.

The chart on page 344 lists NA for Combat Vehicles. So can Combat Vehicles use Maritime Escape pods as the Unit restriction states, or can only Support Vehicle units (As the chart and construction rules state)?

If they can, do they follow the same rules as Support Vehicles? (only units above 5 tons, rear only, 0 slots?)

Thanks for the catch.

* Escape Pod (p. 216)
Under “Unit Restrictions”, first sentence

"Only naval-based Combat and Support Vehicles (including submersibles, hydrofoils and displacement hull craft) 5 tons and over may use maritime escape pods."
Change to:
"Only Naval Support Vehicles (including those featuring hydrofoil or submersible chassis modifications) 5 tons and over may use maritime escape pods."
