Yes and yes.

Technically speaking, the only ships that should be available are the sublight Vulture/Eagle/Hawk/Snipe. But that'd be boring, so we didn't do that on purpose. Instead, you get the bas ...

I don't have PD20.

But, in GURPS PD 4E (not revised), it is in Chapter 8 The Star Fleet Universe, pg 163. It is just one page column. It should be in a similar location in PD20. It is after the spa ...

I do want to note that the original question is from three years ago, so I doubt the OP is going to see any of this.

Paul,

You are answering the wrong question. The question isn't which ship to ...

Yup, that's a typo. It should be Turn Mode C.

I will note that this is correct on the ship cards published in Booster 91.

There seems to be two big problems with the Jindos:
1) They just aren't that popular, so there likely isn't sufficient sales forecast to justify putting them out. Particularly if it is done as a sing ...

1) Yes, ADD boxes are destroyed by "drone" hits in Damage Allocation. Yes, the "last drone box" can be either one.

2) Even though that step isn't as clear as the phaser step, ye ...

Thank you, that helped a lot.

No, the ESGs will not interact.

Rule (5N2f), which covers ESG Interaction, specifically states that the two ESG-equipped ships need to be in the same or adjacent he ...
