Topic: A Three-Edged Sword

A space setting without flotillas, and with warp points. After the creative block of October--December, I was able to finish this setting in about two weeks (from weapon design to finishing of the documents)

EDIT: Deleted v1.01 of main supplement. V1.02 is in the fifth post of this thread.

Re: A Three-Edged Sword

While looking through some of my files, I noticed an error for the Burh-C with regards to their Capital-Scale Particle Arrays. Their second mode has a range of 3, as with every other Capital-Scale Particle Array in the supplement, not 9. I will be posting up a revised page 9 of the document for those who already have the document, and version 1.02 of the supplement at a later date.

Apologies all.

Re: A Three-Edged Sword

The correct version of the Burh-C

And the complete supplement with the corrected Burh-C

Re: A Three-Edged Sword

It'd be a standard scenario. The warp points are a way to explain both the ability of ships to travel between systems without a dedicated hyperdrive system, and a way to allow a warp-point assault to be fought. At the time I was influenced by the Starfire novels and wanted to see if I could create a easy-to-slot-into-SNE set of rules to allow warp point assaults to be gamed but to give both sides an opportunity. With a single warp point on the map, a defender would be able to seed the warp point with massive numbers of mines and Proximity-trait weapons that could pound the attacker to scrap--which, while true to the setting history, might be kinda demoralising. The multiples give the defender a choice as to which warp point to seed with mines--and if they guess wrong, oops. Although maybe I should have said each ship would arrive randomly from warp points, instead of deciding with the first ship--but that might have a situation where the anti-fighter escorts come out in the wrong place to protect those valuable fleet carriers or uber-dreadnoughts...
