The only things really missing are the ideas concerning the Keep class station and a few other tidbits. Hopefully not much though! I'm very pleased with this. Digest at your leisure. Xisor.

Also, they automatically get one (a free refit!?) **What if you could combine this with rerolls?: For every brotherhood you may buy a refit or a reroll (1 per 500pts)! Brotherhoods should always come with the ships automatically! (Cutting beam max) Are the cutting beams supposed to be limited on the Stronghold and Garrison? (There's a typo in Armada that can be read either way). (Citadel) Shouldn't this be 12 hits? Due to automation? (+2 hits over the Stronghold) (Garrison) Where did the broadside lances come from? Also where is the single dorsal launch bay? (Repair points) Shouldn't the Stronghold and Citadel offer repair points instead of having a pirate base? (Rerolls/Renown) There are just too many rerolls!!! It should be 0,1,2,3,4,5! (Typo) the points for the Stronghold and Citadel are wrong in the fleet list. (Refits) S 1: is this instaed of the normal +1 to Ld? S 4: There should be a down side, perhaps only +1 hit? S 6: This should not affect boarding! D 5: Just suck the Bm's up, or dicount them. Also don't put 'as apposed to 4+' as this could be interpreted as only recieving 5+ saves against hits on the hull when BFI'd. More later, cheers, RayB _________________ DON'T DATE ROBOTS!!!

(Brother hoods) Are the points for brother hoods in addition to paying +10% for a refit? Also, they automatically get one (a free refit!?) One brotherhood with each capital ship. This includes the free refit. This pretty much brings the Bastion up to a decent standard and gives a bit of variety to the fleet. Maybe too much on the bigger ships, but we'll see. **What if you could combine this with rerolls?: For every brotherhood you may buy a refit or a reroll (1 per 500pts)! Brotherhoods should always come with the ships automatically!

Hmm. I'm kinda set to keep them distinct. I thought it'd be nice to have them dependent on each other, but I don't see a gain in putting them together. All capital ships have Brotherhoods, though I was more than half tempted to bring up rules for fully automated commerce vessels...

As it stands, I'm happy to keep them seperate. The costs listed for Brotherhoods is for the extras on the Stronghold and Citadel.

(Cutting beam max) Are the cutting beams supposed to be limited on the Stronghold and Garrison? (There's a typo in Armada that can be read either way). I stuck with keeping them capped. No overwhelming reason, but it would seem a bit silly if we ended up with a Stronghold unleashing a S17 Lance shot and some poor bugger failing their BFI...

(Citadel) Shouldn't this be 12 hits? Due to automation? (+2 hits over the Stronghold) The Stronghold went up to 12 HP too. Why? Well, the ship *is* bloody big. Seems silly for it not to have 12. Thus, the Citadel has 14. This should most definately, in hindsight, include an attendent points increase. Suggestions?

(Garrison) Where did the broadside lances come from? Also where is the single dorsal launch bay? I propped in the extra lances as there was, IMO, no loss from the broadsides, and optimised the equipment to an all round 45cm. The final launchbay, whilst possible was something I was still swithering about.

(Repair points) Shouldn't the Stronghold and Citadel offer repair points instead of having a pirate base?

Remember that Keep we were talking about? Well, I don't see why we can't add a clause that the Demiurg pirate base also includes Demiurg special rules, but with the attendant difficulty that it must lie in the Mercurial zone.

(Rerolls/Renown) There are just too many rerolls!!! It should be 0,1,2,3,4,5!

I simply vote adding a cap of five, it makes sense, but still prohibits the Demiurg having  at 1000pts.

(Typo) the points for the Stronghold and Citadel are wrong in the fleet list. Not only that but the Citadel and Garrison were still called the Garrison and Seige! Sorted in my second draft edition.

(Refits) S 1: is this instaed of the normal +1 to Ld? Yes.
S 4: There should be a down side, perhaps only +1 hit? Ammended.
S 6: This should not affect boarding! Fair enough.
D 5: Just suck the Bm's up, or dicount them. Also don't put 'as apposed to 4+' as this could be interpreted as only recieving 5+ saves against hits on the hull when BFI'd.

Anything else?
