In the mission B package, my AI Carrier had his fighters dropped off 52 away from our warped into position. It took them a few minutes at speed 18 to catch up to the battle.
In another one, vs a base assault, I was surprised to find out I was against the biggest baddest base out there in the game today, but I should have figured on the test server being most likely in late era or some such, my bad.
On another issue, I wish I had noted which mission, but I did get a 2 Klingon draw in a Romulan space, while Lyran. I know it was a patrol, just not sure A, B, or C. The hex was below a Klingon base in Romulan territory, so I am guessing I drew from their base instead of the romulan base?
Only flew in one of the new maps so far, but reallly looking forward to flying in some of the others. As far as space size, ya it is big to get off the map, and this will hurt those who love to fight near a border for the old "I am too damaged so I am outa here, of course that is unless I happen to have damaged you more" tactic (used my most at one time or other, but hey it is a valid tactic, np here). It may actually force you to decide to either fight, or disengage, and if you are disengaging, as suggested in rules (I think) you are to tell the opponent, and leave, thus not waisting his time.
Since everyone seems to have a view on what Karnak said, here is my 1.3 Canadian cents. I beleive he was just stating that he cant gripe or complain since he actually did not do the missions or maps(and wont be), so he will fly what is there when he flies. This is what I got out of his words.
Josh, I get your message about how big space is, and I have read the series of books too. IMO I think perhaps most did not care to read through it when you coulda perhaps just stated that you agree with big maps and had the effect you may have been looking for.
TY all for reading this, and I await to see what other stuff will be conceived of my words eheh.
