Q&A: Developer's Corner

[SWSF Hoppus]

Thanks

[Dementat]

I'm confused... On the one hand we have this rule:
Changing Compliments
Unless otherwise specifically noted, players cannot change a ship's onboard unit compliments.  For simplicity, a ship's crew is equal to 1 person per meter of length.  Ship's Crew are considered Fleet Troopers for boarding actions.

Then we have
Q14: What tech level are onboard units?
A14: Players can have their choice of up to Level 3.

I count 8 B-wing squads in Ramano's post, of which he actually built 3. I'm confused, how can level 3 ships come included with level 5 units? Can we change compliments, and if so, do they have to be built, or do they automatically level up with our shipyards? Much to be addressed.

[Ramano]

The ships stats just list X amount of fighters, it doesnt specify which. As I understand as Hale specified it, ships come equiped with the best level stuff you can produce. IE: If your level 5, your stuff comes equipped with level 5 units. I believe I asked him about it before, with the fighter compliments locked but then not specifying anything, but he never got back to me. -shrugs-

[Dementat]

I refuse to do any math, so will the powers that be please add the battle calculations for neutral craft? It is no wonder Ramano has not gotten any responses to battle posts, seeing as his whole fleet is neutral tech.

[Ramano]

Hehe, that was the point!! But honestly the rebels ships short of the MC-80 blow, and an MC-80 isnt worth the 18CP it costs to fleet it, so I really had no other choice but to go with Neutral ships so I could squeeze out a bit of ship to ship to compete with a Star Destroyer should one show up. But honestly, if people dont post they dont post, im just writing them off as dead if they didnt, and im gunna pull the argument they have to start over when they come back too, cause lets face it, with the fleet ive been running, they would have died from my attack anyway.

You want this, you gotta SL for it, up to Hale if SL was good enough.
