Dramatic SFB: Age of PFs Orders

[Wayne Power]

Hi Majead,
Dragons are under player control, and yes the close defense is vs seekers including plasma.

 Guys I have a few questions regarding Space Dragons as I could not find any information on it! As they are living creatures with a survival instinct: 
At what point will a space dragon opt to disengage instead of staying and possibly dying?Can a Dragon opt to fire its eye weapon at plasma torpedoes? (to reduce the damage it takes!)
Does the dragon's close defence system affect plasma's ?If there are several dragons in an encounter do they operate in a coordinated manner such as using their eye weapons on the same target (Ship , plasma etc)?

 That is a solid enough Carnivon force, has an ISC CC to help with firepower, the Paravians could still hold their own.

Trust me I find fighting Carnivon's very dangerous those disruptor cannons are nasty. His force does include a CV group but I have 6 interceptors included
Carnivon haveCWL, 2xCW, CWB, DWS,  2xDWA, CVS 12 fighters(JK-4 & HY-3), ISC CC w// int'svs my ParavianCWL, 3xCW, RMS w/ 2p-b&p-sd w/ ints, BCH w/ Ints, DWL w/ int's


his force is at least 100bp more than mine.

You would need to battle in a fleet, with some heavy ships, to take that Paravian force on.     On Monday, 7 September 2020, 09:38:20 am AEST, Gregory Flusche via SFBdrama <sfbdrama at lists.mattnet.org> wrote:  
 
 Yes looks legal to me as well

Flag bridge does not necessarily make it a leader variant. For example, 
starbases (S8.27) and some Lyran ships (R11.5). Even leader variants 
don't always have flag bridge - see most DWLs and FLGs. As near as I 
figure, leader variants are marked as such only on the SSD (though 
looking at higher-than-normal Command Ratings for the class can be an 
indicator. Unfortunately, that also captures some PFTs and carriers.) 
See (S8.36); it begins with the most complete definition of a leader 
variant that is off the top of my head.


The RMS (regardless of the number of pods) counts as a Size-Class 2 
ship. As such, it counts under (S8.331). One would think that (S8.363) 
applies to keep it from being considered as a leader, but the RMS is 
actually a dreadnaught-sized tug variant - which is still not a leader 
variant. (note that the tug pods are never applied against a flagship's 
command rating.)


The BCH very much is under (S8.333). This also excludes it from being 
considered a leader variant. This also allows the BCH to be included, 
specifically regardless of the inclusion of a Size-Class 2 unit.


So per (S8.36), the consideration of leader variants falls to the CWL 
and the DWL. The CWL is leading a full squadron of CWs, allowing the DWL 
to be included under (S8.361).


The above fleet appears legal to me.
