Repair Boxes on Mobile Base

Post by JimDauphinais »

How are the yellow "Repair" boxes on the Mobile Base damaged?

The "repair" label is a mistake, those should be "lab". Mark them on Lab hits.

Cool. We played it that way this afternoon.

Well, maybe not too cool, as this unfortunately means there is a SSD in error. Fortunately, it is one of the very few of the laminated cards that is in error and a corrected version was included in a past Communique.

There are also REPAIR boxes on the SEL BW. Some look like they should be CARGO, while others look like they should be LAB.

Should I assume that that (the REPAIR = CARGO & LAB) is the case?

...and OMG is this a silly ship! ;)

Actually, this card covers it fine. It specifically says that both Hull hits may be taken on Repair or Cargo. So, how to damage the Repair is already written on the card.

And, yes, the Battlewagon is a very sub-optimal ship. It is really just a Nest/Hive ship with the repair/construction bays filled in with web breakers and reactor. In fact, if you delete web breakers G-V (D-L in fleet scale) and the reactor directly adjacent to them, you actually have the Nest/Hive ship. So, it is really a "shipyard" ship pressed into service as a battleship, and therefore doesn't really work that well.
