Topic: Klingon Armada is now available!

We've been talking about it for so long, that this announcement seems a tad anti-climactic. Klingon Armada has officially been released by Amarillo Design Bureau, and is available for purchase from the ADB web store. We're hoping to get our own stock next week some time, at which point it will also be for sale from the MJ12 catalog. However, we STRONGLY urge you to get your copy from your FLGS, so that we can prove to the distributor that MJ12 products can sell. smile

Awesome Dan!

Does the book provide the point-cost formulae for the new stuff and will there be a shipbuilder.xls for it?

Anything that is not in the Core Rulebook has ship construction/point cost information provided.

I am working on Something Big related to the shipbuilder.

Re: Klingon Armada is now available!

Hey, just got my book taday. AWESOME!!
Noted one thing real quick,
Page 47, Federation BattleCruiser. I noted the one on page 47 has no subtype, while the one on page 48 does.  The Kirov and New Jersey types are listed on page 35.

Re: Klingon Armada is now available!

Well the FLHS just got in their shipment with both KA and SAE books, (I expected they would... I wrote the order myself. Sometimes it's good to be the one vaguely in charge.  big_smile) and I have to say. Awesome.

Coupla' sentiments here:
1.) I see the rules for how many SU Dual-Mode weapons take up, but I can't seem to find where you determine ORAT off of them.
2.) While not *wholly* necessary, it would have been nice/ interesting to have some rudimentary rules for the option mounts on the Orion ships. Like perhaps a limited ship creation set just for the Option Mounts. That's just a minor suggestion, really not *totally* needed.
3.) Where's my Planet Killer, Prime Trader and Juggernaut the back of the book say I get?  wink

Otherwise, very nice. I hope to be reordering this one several times. Same with the core Starmada book. I might have to run an event to increase awareness. Especially now since I can stock the core book.

Weapon ORATs are determined by their space costs. (p.30 of the Core Rulebook)

Maybe in the future, when we introduce Orion cloaking devices.

That was a miscommunication between me and ADB; I had one set of "included" ships in mind, and they had another... :oops:

When I get back from Archon, I will be statting up the "extra" ships, and they will be available for download from ADB.

Honestly, I don't know if it's "supposed" to be labeled as the Kirov subtype or not. The ship card for this class in Federation Commander is simply labeled "Federation Battlecruiser", and that's what I went with.

Hey, lookie that. RTF and pay attention to it and it will actually tell you. Heh.  :oops:
Now the question is, what range do I use? Or did I miss something in dual-mode weapon that says they must be same range?

Maybe in the future, when we introduce Orion cloaking devices.

Sweet. ::begins ponderings on modular ships::

Woo hoo! What is Archon?

I think that there isn't on the Kirov-class because it's the 'standard' Battlecruiser, whereas the New Jersey and Bismarck are both 'specifics'. I might be wrong, however.

Yup.

"Each mode may have different ROF, ACC, IMP, and DMG values, and/or different traits. However, a weapon must retain the same RNG value between modes."

Woo hoo! What is Archon?

That was my understanding as well.

Oh, look... pg 29. Heh. Bueno. I don't know if I'd use dual-mode weapons anytime soon, outside of SFU stuff, but cool.

Hrm... trip to MO is not in my budget. That's a shame. I'll keep on keeping on up here in MI.
