I can run a 8 player game of Supreme Commander, but not two giant ships in BSF? Oh the irony.

It only happens with an allied ship. The weapons put on last don't seem to fire.

Look at the plasma charges and weasels on that thing when its set as allied. That or my versions of .86-.88 are screwed up.

Could I get a sb3 of that ship so I could check? I was having issues with about half of the beamers.

I'd like to be on alpha, but things are in transition a bit for me right now, so I don't know if I'll actually be able to participate. Could I join, knowing that there's a possibility that a reserve might have to fill in for me if I find I don't have enough time to proporly contribute to the team? This sound like a sweet tournament...

If Alpha will have you, I'll put you down for now.

Oooh! Sign me up for Alpha!

Also a question: Are section requirements for Aegis and Deflectors tied together or are they separate? If I want a ship with 1 deflector and 1 aegis, is the minimum requirement for sections 4 or 7?

One thing I noticed, while the Mothership has more points than any other, it's nothing really more than a Slower battleship, with a few more modules options.

And it has 800 points.

Umm, Beta, if they'll let me =P.

Thanks for reminding me, I knew there was something I missed. They're cumulative, so it's 7 for the two.

Also, apologies mtheminja.

Yes, that's deliberately so. It doesn't seem right to make it more restrictive than a battleship, but if it's less so the point total would be imbalanced. Imagine an 800pt ship where sections and hit-points were even cheaper... the escorts would be mostly irrelevant. What I'm essentially trying to do is to balance the escorts and the motherships at least to some small degree so that the escorts have an impact but the mothership still seems powerful enough.
The other solution is to lower the point total which doesn't seem particularly satisfying.

If its possible, I'd like to join beta. Note that this will be my first tournament so sorry in advance if I miscalculate anything.
