Where you planning on keeping all the free frigate spruces from different factions, or are you looking to swap some? Because I'm not fussed about keeping the Shaltari spruce I'llbe getting.
Yeah actually I'm looking to swap so definitely would like your Shaltari sprues!
Its a deal! My dropfleet arrived today, so I can swap my shaltari frigate and cruiser sprues for your scourge ones?
Sounds good, are you there tuesday? If so will bring them then.
Cool, I'm there so I'll bring both Shaltari spruces down to swap.
Dropfleet Commander- 3000pts Scourge, 1500pts PHR
Dropzone Commander- 3000pts Scourge, 600pts UCM
PM me anytime to arrange DzC tutorials if you are interested in the game.

Ian, noticed a couple of rules errors in our game:
Ships with less than 4 hull points don't roll on crippling OR catastrophic damage tables - I think we were still rolling on catastrophic?
Launching Strike craft or munitions adds a minor spike to the ship - think we both forgot to do this for our carriers.(I think strike craft includes dropships and bulk landers - see p61 - but not totally sure. However as the strike carriers are in atmosphere when they do this spikes are not added to their sig anyway...)

The minor spikes for launching any launch assets is correct.
You still roll for crippling and catastrophic. Frigates have 4 hull points, rules say LESS THAN 4 don't roll. Crippling results are designed to finish off frigates, Dave said so in the Beasts of War video. Theres even a page that says what the blast radius for catastrophic results on small ships to D3.

So I'm assuming the Shaltari Mothership picks up a spike when it launches dropships, but the voidgates do not as they are just conduits and aren't actually launching anything? This is bad as it makes the Mothership a lot more visible!

Chris I'd say that's right as it's the mothership that has the launch rule. But at least it can be 18" back from the clusters.
