SV: [FT] Questions from a new-ish-bee

Beats me. I tried to make Jon allow a 3-arc version at Mass 3 for FB1
(ie, same Mass progression as for Pulsers), but he didn't want that one
:-(

They do. Read the "Command Bridge Hit" description, for example: "...if the
roll is 1 to 5, then the ship is out of action for that number of turns, until
command can be restored through backoup links and secondary command systems.
..." If you roll a 6, the secondary bridge bought it too.

The same reasoning applies to the other Core Systems - eg, a successful
"repair" roll could mean that you got a damaged core under control, but it
could just as well mean that you fired up the secondary power core... and a
failed repair roll could mean that the secondary core had already been
destroyed when the primary went.

I already posted errata on that (on April 3rd and 5th, respectively), as well
as on the KV and Phalon fighter bays. Here goes again:

Stinger nodes are Mass 2/Cost 6
Pod launchers Mass 3/Cost 9
Fighter bays should be Mass 9/Cost 27 for all races which use them (ie,
not the SV).
