Is the Viking a gunship, carrier, or both?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>The FFS Viking is a gunship and has no squadron capacity. Ignore the number 6. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: The rules state that a </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>bomber</B></FONT><B> can be reloaded if it is within Range: 1 of a carrier and an Activate Crew order is used. Does this mean that only one bomber squadron is reloaded?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. You may only reload one bomber squadron per Activate Crew order.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Q: According to the fleet-building rules, you may not have multiple copies of the same crew disk on a single ship, unless that crew disk is </B><I><B>unlimited</B></I><B>. </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Can you</B></FONT><B>, after the game begins, </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>teleport a non-unlimited crew disk onto a ship that already has a copy of that disk on board</B></FONT><B>?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>No. Even after the game begins, you may not have multiple copies of the same crew disk on a single ship, unless that crew disk is <I>unlimited</I>. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: The </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>"Subversion" special ability effect</B></FONT><B> (#23) seems overly powerful, as it can negate any other instant special ability or crew order in the game. Shouldn't it have a range?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. The "Subversion" special ability effect should read "Flip one crew or tech disk on an opponent's ship within Range: 2." </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: The </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Federation of Sol</B></FONT><B> crew disk </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>"Marines"</B></FONT><B> has a security icon. Shouldn't it be an away team icon?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. This is a misprint. The Federation of Sol crew disk "Marines" is an away team disk, and should have an away team icon. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: In the </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>"Example: Torpedo" diagram in the rules</B></FONT><B>, it appears the "damage" and "speed" icons are mislabeled. Is this the case?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. The icon labeled as "damage" is actually "speed," and vice-versa.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Q: If an opponent boards my carrier and takes control of it during the boarding step, what happens to my </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>squadrons</B></FONT><B>?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Your squadrons may be destroyed, just as if the carrier had been destroyed. Your opponent never takes control of your squadrons; if you don't have any other carriers in play with sufficient free capacity, the squadrons are destroyed.(See "Squadrons" in the rule book for details.) </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: According to the rules, if an</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B> escort ship</B></FONT><B> destroys a squadron or torpedo with its beam weapon, it may fire a second time. If it destroys a squadron or torpedo with its second shot, can it fire again?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>No. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: Can ships or squadrons attack </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>torpedoes</B></FONT><B>?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Only escort ships can attack torpedoes, and only with their beam weapons. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: When using the </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>"Ship Teleport" special ability effect</B></FONT><B> (#26), can you change your ship's heading?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. When you place your ship, you may face it in any direction. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: Several </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>wing commander crew disks</B></FONT><B> have a single Activate Crew order. This order seems to have no use, as it would require me to use an Activate Crew order to use it. Is this the case?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>Yes. The Activate Crew has no use. Just ignore it. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Q: The </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Letnev</B></FONT><B> crew disk "</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Navigator</B></FONT><B>," the </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Sardakk N'orr</B></FONT><B> crew disk "</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Emergency Technician</B></FONT><B>," and the mercenary crew disk "</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Mercenary Gunner</B></FONT><B>" all have the </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00BF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>commander icon</B></FONT><B>, which means they are bridge crew, even though they have no names. Is this a misprint?</B> </div> <div> <B>A: </B>No. All these disks are commanders. </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
