    Cheers! Yes, I always think Burden is under costed, as it really makes ships more survivable in a fire-fight, especially at long range. At shorter range, those orange chits have more big damage...

    I will have to look at the charts, but envision the 74 chart will work well enough. I found in one game I used the 74 chart for frigates and never noticed!!!

    Hi all, I have tweaked the solo rules to match what I think all of us who use it are already doing, in that it now allows the solo ship to shoot from its forward arc.
