Hi, Daniel!

Mark Ewbank here.  Enjoyed playing Klingon Armada at Archon.

Some questions:

1.  The back cover of Klingon Armada lists Planet Killer, Prime Trader, and Juggernaut included under Ships - General.  They are not in the book, nor are they in the pdf of ship cards from Steve Jackson Games.  Will they be made available to buyers of Klingon Armada?

2.  Shuttle and drone launches both count against Max Launch rate, correct?

3.  Anti-drones do not count against Max Launch rate, correct?

4.  Drones and shuttles attack from Range 1 as per standard Starmada, correct?  (SFB vs. Starmada question, as drones in SFB must enter the target hex to impact.)

5.  If LOS passes between two hexsides with equal shield ratings, which one is hit?

6.  Faceted shields: when a facing Shield Rating is 0 and the roll is 3+ so that the point deducted must be taken from the facing shield, the point is ignored, so the total Shield Rating and sum of the Faceted Shields may no longer be equal, correct?

7.  Faceted shields:  when a shield hit is taken and the roll is 1-2 and a non-facing Shield Rating is zero (with other non-facing Shield Rating(s) non-zero), can the hit be taken on the zero rated shield (in effect, ignoring the hit)?  For example, a Small Freighter attacked from the Front taking a shield hit with a roll of 2.

8.  What happens when the Shield Track is taken down to zero, but faceted Shield Ratings are still non-zero?  Example:  A Small Freighter takes four hits from the Aft, and the damage rolls are all 4.

Suggestion:  on taking damage on two shield facets when LOS crosses a hexside, I recommend having to take all mandatory across-the-facing facet shield hits on the 'facing' shield chosen by the defender.

Looking forward to blowing up more ships!
