Rules Questions

[gallpizi]

I didn't see one spot for rules questions so here it is along with my first question:

When a ship says simply "9,700 Troops" does this mean only the standard troops or...?

[SWSF Hale]

I think Hop addressed this elsewhere, but "stock complements" = the lowest echelon unit available to your faction.

Imperial Infantry, Republic Infantry, and Standard Infantry.

You pay the difference in cost to upgrade at time of purchase.

Yes. I need to update some specs as well as rules to make all this clear. On it!

Okay updated specs and rules regarding altering compliments and Rebel/Imperial sims building neutral technology. Let me know if you have any questions.

This may seem like a dumb question but when building starting facilities the Modular/Prefab Imperial Base DOES come with the troops, correct? Only the Prefab deployed from a ship does not?

[gallpizi]

Also can we get a slightly bigger map somewhere for help calculating HS jumps unless I am missing something.

[SWSF Hale]

It's a matter of counting squares at the end of the day.
Trip 1 takes 2 turns
Trip 2 takes 5 turns.
Trip 3 takes 1 turn.

Got it!

So I guess that just leaves the PreFab base question as it determines my PDF ideas.

Also another question thanks to Hale ( ) is do we have a process for adding new tech?

[SWSF Hale]

Hoppus is the game master, so it's up to him -- but I imagine how it was in the old days where factions got to generate 1 new tech per month might be what we wind up doing.

Anyone remember the ISD-III and Emperor Missile Frigate from GR?

I had to do some hard lobbying to get Laswell and others onboard with the EMF, lol.

Correct, every month that you are active you can submit a tech and it will go to vote. Simple majority I think. I will add this to rules.

Hale, I should be able to get those specs from the old GRU rule book (and all other specs not included).

Just FYI

I will be making some final rule adjustments/additions tonight. Hopefully, it will be enough for everyone to feel comfortable to get started tomorrow and post their starting units, etc.

There will be small adjustments to: Posting times, addition of Bombardment rules and clarification of Cap Ships in Atmosphere, Specifics on the sunlight grid (which is going to be 5x5 for now! And I am NEARLY there with the app that will plot units on the map. More on that as well).

While we're asking questions....

1)  Troop Upgrades ->  If I upgrade, say a a Marauder's troops from "Standard" (I assume the default when not listed) to ESPO, I do this math:  =((80/160)*7)-((80/160)*5)    (80/160 to determine % of a company * 7, the cost minus what the same, but 5 for standard cost).  I assume that's the intention, since it's less than company sized.

2)  OSDs can just be built in space, or they need some kind of platform to be built?

Correct, correct

Never got me an answer about PreFab bases that are bought as opposed to deployed. Do those bases bought come with the forces listed?

I would say, no. I will post specs/prices.
