As far as I remember starship combat in MT even with errata is significantly flawed.

Evening,

 

I’m looking at Starship Combat in MT, I’ve not done much of it and I’ve stared to design warships so I want to understand it more.

 

I picked an encounter from those people who might have known what they are doing (DGP) and the encounter is between an A2 far trader and a Vargr Packet from Vilani & Vargr.

 

Now the A2 has a Defensive DM of +3, made up of computer model 1/bis (+1), Agility 1 (+1), and size <1000 tons (+1) +1+1+1 makes 3 awesome

Our Vargr Packet has a Defensive DM of +4, made up of computer model 2/bis (+2), Agility 0 (0), and size <1000 tons (+1) +1+1+1 make 3! Not awesome …

 

So question is am I doing it wrong, or is the errata?

 

I’ve looked at the other ships with a 2/bis and the defensive DM all work out with the computer model as 2

 

DGP Vilani & Vargr

Page 93, Vargr Packet (correction): DefDM=+3

 

 

Best regards,

 

Ewan
