Thanks for the advice.

We are now into our 5th adventure, after about 12 sessions of gameplay. Seems to be going ok. Players are a crew of a small frieghter (which their pilot managed to fly into ...

The text says that it provides St ...

But that is why i don't see it applying to dark side turning avoidance or mortally wounded survivability ...

Destroyers are escort vessels. Originally termed "torpedo boat destroyers" they were meant to prevent torpedo boats attacking the line of battle. Over time they got steadily larger and were ...

I thought that most automatic weapons had the extra shots taken into account by having a higher damage code? Going by the 1st edition rules the SMG, for example, has a damage of 4d compared to the rif ...

Not knowing the system that well, do you think it would be overpowering if I instead either treated the damage as capital scale damage (using the cap dice scale system, rather than the scale dice syst ...

Okay well firstly corvette, frigate, destroyer, light and heavy cruiser, battlecruiser, battleship, escort carrier, fleet carrier and flagship are all utilitarian terms. They do not relate to craft sp ...
