The page count of the pdf is 140 (Wargamevault). The table of contents (demo pdf) states 86 pages.
So what is the content of the other ~50 pages? SSDs for ex. ships?

"Wasserstahl" is a compound noun, the intonation is on "Wasser-".  wink

to calculate a logarithm one needs two values: the BASE of the logarithm and the number of which to calculate the logarithm.

scientific notation: [size=150]log[/size][size=85]2[/size] [size=150]8[/size] = 3, because of [size=150]2 ^ 3 = 2*2*2[/size] = 8, where 2 is the base of the logarithm. (sorry, no [sup] and [sub] here.)

most calculators use the keys "log" for [size=150]log[/size][size=85]10[/size] x and "ln" for [size=150]log[/size][size=85]e[/size] x for the 10th and e-th logarithm (with e=2.718...). (http://www.gruenspar.de/media/catalog/product/c/0/c001712a_9.jpg)

to calculate a logarithm of base 2 like [size=150]log[/size][size=85]2[/size] 8 = 3 on such calculators, you have to type this:
"log 8 / log 2" or "ln 8 / ln 2" both equals "3" due to the calculation laws of logarithms. (see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm#Change_of_base )

in S:NE there are logarithms of base sqrt(0.5), so "log(X) / log(sqrt(0.5))" have to be typed on a calculator*.

*) modern ones uses the algebraic notation, so one can type "log" + "X" ...
older ones uses log as a suffix-notation, so one have to type 1) "X"  2) "log"

hi!

not sure if mentioned before (found nothing in this errata): i think the example (p. 47/right/below) on calculating a dual-mode weapon is wrong.
plain text (shortened): "final SU = larger SU + 1/2 smaller" (i remember this from S:AE)
example (shortened): "mode A-SU = 119.9; mode B-SU = 136.7, thus 188.3 (119.9 + (136.7/2))"
(i haven't proofed the 119.9 and 136.7 calculations; i'm not so far in reading the rules)

shouldn't it be 196.7? (136.7 + (119.9/2))

I agree with Enpeze. A forum for SNE and another for S:AE and X. Or better one for S:AE and one for X.
Especially for S:AE it would make sense with all its rulebooks and supplements (There are people who have switched to Starmada because of the StarFleet books).
Now it could be realized with little effort (most topics are marked as "Nova", "SNE" etc.) - in a few weeks or months nobody will do this and so all editions will be mixed.

That's odd - but thank you for this information.

Hi!
Will the "Evolution of Arms"-PDF being available via drivethrustuff.com or wargamevault.com? Or only via the mj12games-page?

Thx for answering.

After two weeks I have to ask again:
What about an extra forum for "Starmada 2012" for clarity's sake? Or perhaps displace the older S:AE and S:X topics in another forum.

Happy new year!  big_smile

Thank you.

What about a new "2012" forum? (I know I'm stubborn...)

Where are the topics with the Klingon Armada and the other erratas? Please put them back or perhaps make a new forum for erratas.

Is it possible to have an extra forum for "Starmada 2012" or for S:AE to keep the order? I think in the transition period (still begun) between two editions this will be confusing if not.

dan (-too)


p.s. this topic may be deleted if my wishes come true ;-)

Would you please post all these rules? Also the one for hexless movement. I'm very interested.

shouldn't it be so?

and on a 2 or 3 it misses its intended hex by D6 hexes.
