RE: The Kra'Vak

Sure - Why rule #6?  Ammo conservation?  I can see a game balance
reason, 
but from playing against KV (in FT2 only, not FB yet), Human doctrine is

pretty much 'Don't ever, for any reason, get close to a KV ship, or
allow 
one to get close to you'.  They're supposed to be deadly.

As for #5, the KV models always screamed 'Modify me!'.

Los,
     My (self-appointed) Clan is the Kra'vak_D'rk.   I like James
Moores notes/background on his web site. (J. Moore Online: Full Thrust)
I have placed the D'rk as a subclan of one of the major clans listed.
(Which one?  I have not yet decided.)

Notes on the D'rk:
1) They are a second or third line clan bucking for promotion.
2) They are (somewhat) heritics as they are interested in alien
   techonology.  (A very bad thing!)
3) They do not have political pull to get the full compliment of
   weapons that a ship class would normally carry.  (I.E. Escorts
   mostly mount class one, Cruisers class two, and Capitals class
   three (but in more limited numbers than a normal kra'Vak ship.)
4) Ships are often acquired thru salvage and repair of battle
   damaged ships of other clans.   (Mostly thru the low prestige
   job of escorting convoys for pay.)
   (This allows me to build some interesting ships of truly
   unusual shapes.)
5) Clan policy does not allow the firing of more than 2 scatterguns
   on single enemy ship. (per turn)

Comments?

Bye for now,
