|
|
Peter and I were talking about this yesterday. Thought it a good idea to ask here. Carronades are a function of plasma F torps. I don't have the SSD's in front of me at the moment, but I know the CCX has 2xS and 2xM. Perhaps some of the smaller units have type L launchers, but I don't believe they have F launchers. Do X units have the carronade ability? I know the carronade came much later in the rules than X ships. If so, how does it work?

According to one of the rule updates published in Module X1R, all X-ships armed with plasma-F or plasma-L torpedoes gain the use of carronades for those launchers.
(If you haven't picked it up already, X1R is a handy expansion in terms of showing more of what the era of first-generation X-ships in the Alpha Octant has to offer.) _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

I've been thinking about getting XR1. I want to see what was done to the Selts weapons and take a look at whatever additonal ships have been designed.
In reference to the carronade, what about those Gorn ships that don't have an L launcher? As mentioned, the CCX is 2xS and 2xM. Now any launcher can fast load an F in one turn for 7 points so perhaps that is the key i.e. any launcher can use the carronade in this fashion? Or perhaps they can't. _________________ My other car is a D7 BattleCruiser. |

So far as I'm aware, the carronade has to come out of an -L or -F launcher. So if your plasma ship doesn't have either, you're out of luck. (But the upshot for Romulan and ISC X-ships is that they gain access to the carronade option for the first time, so long as they have the appropriate launchers on board.) _________________ FC Omega Discussion (v3)

But I don't want the pointy-ears or peaceniks having the carronade! That's a GORN weapon
Seriously though, thank you for your response(s). _________________ My other car is a D7 BattleCruiser. |
