PROBLEM WITH AC 78

Confusion Reigns!

-Action 71-
100 Fighters are approaching XXX11122 from XXX11112
0 Fighters transfered to XXX11122


This was an AC 78 order. Both locations same subsector. XXX11122 was a size 10 with 25 ftrs present. XXX11122 is a CW controlled by me. You can have 25*Planet Size fighters on a planet. Unless there is a limit on size 10 worlds I don't know about and haven't found in the rules, this should have worked!

Cost me two wasted orders....

p.s. My apologies to the person currently occupying subsector XXX111 for the use of your coordinates for demonstration purposes.

There is a limit on size 10 worlds...they are treated as size 1.

ASTEROID BELTS AND GAS GIANTS

Asteroid belts (size 0) and gas giants (size 10) should be treated as size
one planets for all military purposes.

For clarification:

Asteroid belts (size 0) and gas giants (size 10) should be treated as size one planets for all military purposes.


"For all military purposes" is considered to be: Fighters, MU, ABM(??)

It does NOT seem to include FORTS as I have 21 forts on a size 10. And therefore also does NOT include Torps as the number allowed is a function of the number of forts.

Any errors in this?

This Is Not The Asteroid You Are Looking For

When installing Forts on a Gas Giant it has always been max 50. Forts were always a kind of misnomer in that they are actually installations around the planet not on the planet so a Gas Giant would have plenty of room in the orbit for 50. But you can't build Forts on a Gas Giant as Forts can only be built on terraformed planets. You can build Fort ships and then install them however.

So Forts are more Orbital Defense Platforms than surface fortresses.
