Even if it is a D6, just think of all the cool ships you can make from one of those babys. D6S, D6M, D6G, D6D, etc... Very Happy

well for those who wanted it, looks like we will have all ships able to go the same speed, how matt will do this as CTA doesnt use energy I will have to wait for my next update.

Special Orders to speed up/slow down? Regardless, I'm pleased because it will keep some of the SFU 'feel'.

Although...

While I'm glad all *standard warships* will have the same (baseline?) speed, is there an argument for a 'speed ladder'?

I know this is looking way, way down the line at things that won't be in ACtASF for years, if ever, but...

Say

1) Slowest - freighters and monitors
2) A Bit Faster - Free Traders, APTs, EY ships
3) Standard Warships
4) Faster Still - Fast Warships
5) Fastest - FedX, X-Ships

I have to ask. What kind of map does ACTA use. Open/blank, squares, or hex? And what about Starsmada?

Starmada uses a hex map, ACtA does not.

well we have lots of options for turning in CTA.
basic turn is after half your move, then if you have 2 turns there has to be 2" between them. however agile allows you to turn after 1/4 move and have 1" between turns and lumbering means you cannot move after your turn.
so ships will have one of:

1/45 lumbering
1/45
2/45
2/45 agile
1/90
2/90
2/90 agile

you can either increase the number of turns or increase the angle of one with a special action but with standard crew that needs a 5+ to pull off.

For those who don't know, ACTA is a minis game with no map at all, just tables, protractors, and yardsticks.

Except that someone has used TMP as the reference for where the disruptors fire from rather than the SSD. Wink
