Topic: Some AE questions

Hello. I'm trying to build some stuff in Starmada AE, but cannot find a way to do what I'm trying to represent. Is there any rule, trait, or equipment in AE that allows a ship to protect another through screening(or any process other than shooting at the attacking enemies), or a way to provide electronics support to a friendly ship? I own the core rulebook and the rules annex. If there's any other products out there with rules for AE, I'm not aware of them. (Okay, I do know about the Star Trek Armada books, but don't know of any helpful mechanisms in them.)

Thanks for any help you might be able to give me!

Re: Some AE questions

No, there are no rules which allow a ship to "lend" abilities to another ship. This is because doing such opens up a wide avenue for abuse.

Re: Some AE questions

Shame about the inability to represent EW support ships or dedicated escorts, but I can understand the potential for abuse. Guess I'll need to find some other way to represent things like Babylong 5-style scout or defense ships.
