Starting weapons that come with the ship don't take up any weapon slots, & they're free. Why do you think it's dumb that we can't sell them?

[JYAP]

Because you didn't mention that. I thought they took up a slot.

[Halfwingseen]

Its Dumb Because With a Frigate your screwedyou can fire only 1 weapon type a turn and frigate starts with plasma cannon and missile launcher ( 2 different types ) thus even with the added hull its useless vs the starting 2 plasmas :/
and your right i did bad math *pokes eye out*

[JYAP]

The lasers and fighters were official? Whatever.

I fire on the frigate. If I can't reach,I move within the longest range possible and use every weapon on Halfwing. 98 damage. Now shut up.

[Protoss119]

Actually, Halfwing, I stated in the rulebook that if you have 2 or more of the same weapon, you can fire all weapons of the said name. Since the Frigate has a bunch of weapon slots, there's room for a bunch of the same weapon, not to mention chassis upgrades.

Note: I found that I needed to name my ship; it will be the Krull Kullen.

$50 for each weapon/etc for each weapon will be given to both of you at the end of the round. As well, the winner gets $500 at the end of the round. Noting that, all players will gain $250 for each ship they destroy in combat, including Starbird Pirates.

There seems to be a lot of this that I didn't mention. I'm hoping for this to be the last of them. Don't worry, most will be in your favor.

Weapon Approvals:

Explosive Cargo: Hmm. Put this on a lot of fighters and watch the fireworks. Approved.

Laser Hull: Approved.

Reinforced Hull: Approved.

Mining Laser: What I don't like is the $1 reward you get for blowing up an asteroid with it. Money doesn't grow on trees nor asteroids, right? At any rate, semi-approved. Maybe I'll make it so the $1-per-asteroid reward comes at the end of the round.

Mining Upgrade: OVERPOWERED. I'll nerf it. Semi-Approved.

Large Mining Laser: ACK! Needs to be nerfed. Disapproved.

Pulse Laser: Looks good to me. The only thing is, since every damage done to Armor counts as 1 to HP, it would be as if the ship had no armor. Approved.
