    The document outlines new house rules for ship construction and weapon traits in the Starmada miniatures game. Key points include: - Ships are limited in the number and configuration of weapon batteries and arcs based on their hull size - Forward firing arcs are limited to one bank per ship with a restricted number of weapons - Battery configurations restricting the types and placement of weapon arcs are defined for different ship shapes - Math formulas are provided to calculate total arc costs and arc limiters for balancing purposes

    Starmada House-Rules for Ship Construction Weapon Traits Focused This is removed as an option.

    . Other traits are still being evaluated. ARCS Although this is not specifically stated in the rules the designer stated that each arc located in a battery should be in one single bank. But then he also stated that splitting them into multiple banks should not have any effect on the rules other than allowing the ship to engage more targets. Under the standard rules you can add any number of batteries to a ship so really the net effect is negligible. The following rules assume that multiple banks with the same arc are allowed in the same battery. The following arcs are eliminated; AR, PR, SR, PP, SS. FR is retained but reduced in scope as illustrated in the image below.

    target must be located in grey hexes

    *Ships are limited to a number of batteries equal to their size divided by 3 rounded up. Each battery is limited to 6 banks. All banks located in a battery have limited arcs as determined by the ships configuration and the configuration may limit the number of weapons in a bank. Ships are limited to 1 of 3 configurations selected from below. FR arcs: Only 1 battery per ship may mount a bank with a FR arc (although this may be in any battery). The number of weapons mounted in a FR bank is restricted to the hull size divided by 10 and rounded up. Certain configurations are not allowed to mount a FR bank at all in any battery. FX, AX, TT and TR arcs: TT and TR arcs may be added to a battery with no restriction on the number of weapons in each bank. FX and AX banks may be added to a battery with no restriction on the number of weapons, although only 1 AX bank may be added for each FX bank contained in the battery. Remaining arcs and number of weapons in a bank are determined by the configurations listed below. A ships configuration should be selected based on the miniature design. Battery configuration 1 (cylinder or elongated rectangle) is limited to FH, AH, SH and PH arcs. Batteries may mount any number of weapons in SH and PH arcs but each bank must be balanced (the same amount of weapons) between all the SH and PH arcs in a battery. Each battery may only mount 1 FH and RH

    bank in each battery and the number of weapons in the bank is limited to an amount equal to (rounded down) of the number of total number of weapons mounted in 1 of the side arcs either port or starboard. For example a ship mounts a battery with a BAS of 5 in 2 banks with 4 weapons per bank in each of the PH and SH arcs. 1 FH and 1 AH arc could be mounted in the same battery and the bank would be limited to a number of weapons equal to 2. 2 side arc banks with 4 weapons equals 8 multiplied by .25 equals 2. Any number of weapons may be mounted in banks for FX, AX, TR, and TT batteries. Maths: Total Arc Cost: 6.05 Arc Limiter: 1.51 Battery configuration 2 (wedge or flared needle) is limited to FF, FP, FS, AA, AH arcs. Batteries must mount at least 1 weapon bank with FS and FP arcs. 1 FF weapon bank may be mounted in a battery with at least 1 FS and 1 FP bank. The number of weapons mounted in the FF arc may not exceed the total number of weapons mounted in the FS and FP arcs divided by 2 (rounded down). In addition 1 AH arc bank or 1 AA bank may only be mounted in a battery that contains at least 1 FP arc bank and 1 FS arc bank, the number of weapons is limited to the hull size divided by 3 rounded down and may not exceed the number of weapons in the FS or FP banks. Any number of weapons may be mounted in banks for FX, AX, TR, and TT batteries. Maths: Total Arc Cost: 6.58 Arc Limiter: 1.00 Battery configuration 3 (square, round ellipsoid) is limited to FF, FP, FS, AP, AS and AA arcs. This ship design may not mount any FR banks. A battery must contain at least 1 bank with FP, FS, AP, and AS arcs respectively. The FP and FS must contain an equal number of weapons in each bank and the AP and AS must contain an equal number of weapons and may not exceed the number of weapons mounted in the FP and FS arcs respectively. 1 FF arc and 1 AA arc may be added to batteries but the number of weapons in these arcs is limited to the hull size divided by 3 rounded down to a minimum of 1. Any number of weapons may be mounted in banks for FX, AX, TR, and TT batteries. Maths: 6.93 Arc Limiter: 1.00 *There may be a need to adjust the total number of batteries allowed based on the ships hull size if this doesnt fix the problem with the amount of weapons firing into each arc.
