Topic: Where should I post questions about Distant Armada?

Where is the best place to post question about and issues with Klingon/Romulan/Alien/Distant Armada? I ask because I posted over in the Federation Commander Forum on Friday but there has been no answer yet. I know it is possible the mj12games is busy due to Origins. If that is the case, I will be patient. If it is better to post here, I will be happy to copy the posts over here.

The best place? Right here. You may find that some questions have already been asked. I took the liberty of putting a couple of your questions here.

I played a demo with other people yesterday and I realized something reading the rules for Distant Armada and that is if you roll and the damage is to be taken of the facing shield and the amount of damage to the applied to the shield is greater than the facing there is no rule covering what to do.

For example, if your internal damage is Shield and the change in the amount of shielding is 3 points, but the facing shield only has 2 boxes. What happens with the 3rd point? Is it then assigned by the players discretion to another shield, is it assigned to a neighboring shield or is it ignored? My assumption is the first one but it is defined in the rulebook.

Controlling player decides which facing the 3rd point is deducted from.

Does the "Emergency Thrust" rule only apply to the Orions?

I ask because I do not see any special notation on the Orion ships saying that it applies only to them. I know that there is a "Orion Engine Doubling" rule that applies only to Orions. So I am thinking it only applies to them given that.

This is part of the core rules and can be used with any ship. It is only modified for Orions.

Overload particle cannon looks like it was missed from the data cards I am not familiar with Seltorian ships though. You could enter the data into one of the spreadsheets and print your own amended ones.
