Do you think it’d be worth the cost instead if it just gave a +1 mast repair per shipwright (giving incentive for multiples to be taken)? 16 points and leaving it alone sound pretty good too though!

I don’t think that first idea would work, due to the no stacking rule. Unless you mean that the ship would be able to repair a number of masts equal t…[Read more]

Nice to see these return! These models are a little larger than I thought they’d be, is that an actual light at the top?

I’m going to sound a little silly, but I was expecting them to look more like a taller skinnier fort, like several 2D pieces of plastic put together to make a 3D shape.

The final ship from the Farthest Shore!

Looks like it would be a blast to use.  That’s a very powerful new ability, this might even be a ship that goes beyond 50 points someday….

Maybe someday her cost will go up, for now I think 45 is okay. There are some interesting options given that she doesn’t have a linked crew and the Ionics have several super crew to their name.

“The Code, Broadsides Attack, pg 19”

The ability “L-range cannons cannot hit this ship” does not make a ship an invalid target, even if the attacker has
only L-range cannons available. It can prevent a shot from hitting, but does not prevent the shot from being made.

Would I be correct in interpreting this to mean that if a ship has only L ran…[Read more]
