oerjan,

for movement are you referring to cinematic, vector or both?

btw, what is your opinion how well the alien races perform in cinematic versus
vector? any significant diff?

thanks, dave

The main differences between Cinematic and Vector, regardless of what tech you
use, is that you have a much better idea of where the enemy
will end up in Vector than you do in Cinematic. This favours single-arc
weapons more than any other weapons, which makes the Kra'Vak rather more
powerful in Vector.

Knowing where your enemy will end up also favours template weapons like SMs or
PBLs if you don't reduce their template sizes. With the FB2 vector rules, I'd
strongly recommend using a 3" radius for both SMs and PBs; otherwise the
Phalons in particular become very powerful. Apart from that, neither Phalons
nor Sa'Vasku seem to perform radically different in the two movement systems.

Regards,
