Well it used to have 12. But the whole FS project is moving right along toward SFB town and leaving SFC behind altogether. Which is good and bad. This is a popular move for the Klingon playerbase, lol!

The F-CS should be considered a specialty ship like a fast cruiser. When the D77 makes the list...sure...  Saw the SSD. Please tell me you are joking  The F-CAC, OMG is this OTT! I can't read this very well. Is the CAC armed with 6 DTTY? What the heck is that? http://www.starfleetgames.com/sfb/sft/images/R2_j5_cac.gif |

Since every server admin can adjust the shiplist to their own desires and needs, this really only affects GSA play. |

16 PhG's under range 3 would do at least 192 points. That's good to give a DN a very bad day and anything else certain death. Scary ship. Should they be available as regular line ships on SG4?  j/k |

Sounds good until you realize the thing has 7 G-racks and 6 drone control.  Hehe, the C10K has 6 drone ctrl and 8 B-racks. So what's the reason for having more drone racks than control allows for? ???
Well it used to have 12. But the whole FS project is moving right along toward SFB town and leaving SFC behind altogether. Which is good and bad. This is a popular move for the Klingon playerbase, lol!
As we all know, the drone control rating of a ship is equal (or double) to it's sensor rating, which on most ships is 6. I say most, as there are many ships that have sensor ratings other than six. The C10 is a good example. It's sensor rating is 8, which means it should have a drone control of 8, not 6. The Fed DNH has a sensor rating of 10, thus should have a drone control of 10. I think the confusion here has to do with how the sensor rating is shown on the SSD's. Each box has a number, starting with 0 and ending with 6. These numbers have to do with die rolls on a 1d6 (as your sensors take damage and boxes are checked off), not the sensor rating itself. So, the question becomes, is there some limitation in the game that requires a drone control of 6 or 12? I have not tested this myself. Of course, I'm not up on the ins and outs of the SFB rule set concerning this, so I could be wrong. Any old-time SFBers want to clear this up for me? |

Round it back up to 12 if you can't have 8 or 10. It's insufficent control for what the ship carries.

Went and did some testing...drone control rating is NOT limited to 6 or 12. I tried the F-DNH with 10 d.c. and the K-C10K with 8 d.c. and sure enough, could only control 10 and 8 drones, respectively.
And taking a look through the shiplist and a number of different ssd's...yup, there would be a lot of changes to the drone races' drone control ability. Personally, I think this needs discussion.
EDIT: Ok, I've been corrected in some MSN discussions on this, I guess the drone control always starts as 6 (or 12).

I really don't see any need for drone control to be upped.
Personally I think it will make us all better players if we leave the control rating low.

IIRC...the Taldren standard was "any ship having 4 or more racks" was supposed to have 12 control...take it for what it is...

Don't worry about it, DH. After some discussion (and me finally tracking down the rules in the Basic book), it would seem that the drone control/sensor rating is almost always 6, the number of sensor boxes on the ssd is for damage allocation (hull boxes I guess).
Although, changing the drone control ratings to equal the number of sensor boxes (but of course keeping the double rating were applicable) would lower the control on many drone carrying ships, giving a little more parity (slight, but there) to the plasma races in mission times...but that's not a flame war I'm willing to start, lol.

Some confusion arises upon examination of the shiplist proper. The "Sensor" column is actually equal to the number of boxes on the sensor track, not the undamaged sensor rating, which is almost always 6.

The Taldren Z-CD has 6 racks and has always had 6 drone control. Same for the Taldren Z-DF and many others. K-E4D has 4 racks, but only 6 control. |

oh yeah BTW...while the Z-CD does indeed only have 6....Taldrens DF does have 12 control ....
also ...if we go by the proposed changes and apply them without regard to who's ships they are...ships like the Z-CCH would drop from 12 to 6 also...
So dropping an 8 rack ship from 12 to 6 control based on sensor rating of 8.... should be simularly applied across the board to all ships....or not at all...

The F-DE also has 4 racks...and 12 drone control...and a sensor count of 6... Yes..the F-BCE has an 8 rating...but not the BCG..it only has 6... While the BCV has a 6 rating...and 12 control.... Not trying to start any arguements...just not seeing as where this logic is evenly applied elsewhere in the shiplist...  Keep in mind I'm not an SFB guru either....maybe I'm missing something?...special sensors? I'd like this on the fix list ...IMHO...it should actually be 8 like it's supposed to be..but will take a client side fix......oh yeah...and have the abilty to lend channels like in SFB |

F-BCG and F-DNG = 4 racks = 6 Drone Control Klingon C8 = 6 Racks = 6 Drone Control Where did you get the idea that all ships with 4 racks + had 12 control? It simply is not true. |

It is not limited to 6 or 12. Bonk's server works fine with various drone control numbers and I'm all for it as it might help reduce the problem of mission time disparities to some degree. |
