Subject: Errata, More Thrust, and related...
De-Lurking (De-Cloaking?) here, briefly... I picked up _Stargrunt_ a little while back, and have a question that I figure has been asked before (BTW, is there a FAQ for the GZG games out there?). Can someone shed light on the Drones section of the rules!?!? For example, Spotting: Do drones roll Unit Quality plus Sensor Quality die, vs d4 shifted up per 12" range to drone and cover bonuses? (the term "System level" wasn't defined earlier but I figure it stands for SENSOR, or SENSOR TYPES TABLE...) Recalling a drone: I assume the Drone has to move back to the location where the Infantry team is. On the other hand, could the drone land, say 6" away from its operating infantry team, and in a following turn be picked up by the operators? Shooting Drones down: Is the phrase "the drone's system die roll" meant to imply that the roll is against the electronics?! It isn't very clear - my assumption is that the die rolls are opposing Quality die rolls - Firing unit Quality versus operators Quality die. I haven't been able to find a copy of More Thrust, and I want to know which are the new weapons available in the supplement - Missiles and what else. I'd like to prepare a game for a Gaming Con (Working title: "Damn the Torpedos, Full Thrust Ahead!" ;-) but I would like to use a different background and build my own ships. I'd rather not do the same work twice... Related to _More Thrust_, does _MT_ cover the creation of Dropships for _Dirtside II_? The info on Dropships in _Stargrunt_ is kinda thin... (BTW, are the "Walkers" from _SG_ AT-AT's from _Star Wars_ or _BattleTech_ robots? Are there rules to build _BT_ robots in _DS II_? Are there any home rules for such? - Yeah, I know _BT_ robots are very impractical - I still find them reall cool....) Enough rambling. Any help will be appreciated....
