Topic: Increased Damage rule

Folks,

I played a game of Starmada last night, using the AE, Hammer and Claw and the Imperial Sourcebook.  The Grumm Ravenous weapon has a trait of Increased Damage.  I can't find a description of this trait in any of these three books, tho it is in the shipbuilder.  Can anyone illuminate this for me?

Thanks,
Peter

Re: Increased Damage rule

I believe that is a typo, and should read "Increased Hits" (Starmada Core Rulebook, p.45)

Oh Rats!
Excuse me.
I thought it should have been Increased Impact, having read a thread back in 2008/9 about the SAE shipbuilder (2.2) which had Increased Damage which I am fairly sure that you said should have been Increased Impact.
I assumed (which i should not) that you used the shipbuilder for the Grumm ships causing the wrong entry.

BTW Dan the official shipbuilder on the Catalogue/Starmada page is just a garbled mess at the moment.

So it sounds like Increased Damage and Increased Impact are synonyms?  Or is it that the name of Increased Impact has been changed to Increased Damage?

Thanks,

No it has not changed to increased damage. "Increased Damage" was from Starmada X and got left in the shipbuilder by mistake as a ship weapon trait. "Increased DMG" is a fighter only trait.

Re: Increased Damage rule

I don't think the trait increased damage could exist, as the effect of increased hits/impact is determine by a die roll compared to a value. This is not so with the DMG value.
I feel the increased damage sould be increased impact.

As the ships in H&C were designed by Matt Curtis, I cannot be certain whether the intention was to have Increased Impact or Increased Hits; however, as both have the same modifier, either way the point costs remain unchanged.
