Ack -- I put "Othar" because I misread it for "other"... I was going to cast a joint vote for Ronan and Bel Carlyle, just as I've been greatly enjoying the exploits of the reborn Grey Death Legion.

Added and reset

Ecstatic to hear all of the force packs and paper products are state side already, according to Tuesday Newsday. Only waiting for swag options like dice and patches to arrive.

 Things should be ready to fulfill on time once the payment issues are resolved.

Really happy to see how Catalyst is handling all of this!

Has anyone heard of an estimated U.S. shipping window?


I'm moving in July and trying to decide whether to give my original address or change it to a buddy's to the State I am moving to.

Who do you find to be the most interesting Character(s) as of 3152? Why? Feel free to expand on the strengths and flaws of any character.
 If you want me to add someone, say so and I will try to as soon as I see it.

 I am allowing up to 3 votes so people can have some wiggle room, but you can name more in the thread.

Okay, I see the base - got to admit I thought it was RotS when I first saw it. Is it just the image, or what were you doing with the black?

Excellent work, just the apparent colour threw me.

Enhanced LRMs are even more obsolete.

The only ancient point defense weapons are machine guns, ancient pe-primitive prototype lasers, and Phalanx systems. So why would machine guns still be effective but the others wouldn't be?

There are no stats for ancient pre-primitive prototype lasers so I do not mention them, but if they got stats than of course the quirk could be applied in specific usage cases. And Phalanx systems would exactly fit the case of where the combination of ship&machine-gun&quirk that would replicate a ship with a Phalanx.

To aim a mass driver you have to aim the warship or space station. That's just how guns that aren't mounted on a flexible mount would be aimed.

And thus a single line of hexes instead of an firing arc. Many other weapon systems are not as restricted such as from having integrated aim adjustment equipment, a flexible mount, have indirect actuation (like from a waist in case of a 'Mech), or even guidance systems, resulting in a firing arc.
