GenCon 2003

Full Thrust Admiral's Tournament

Here are the fleet design rules that were followed:

• Only ships from Full Thrust Fleet Book: Volume 1 and Full Thrust Fleet Book, Volume 2 are allowed, with the exception of the Sa'Vasku fleet from FB2. All of the ships in a fleet must be from the same Major Power (for instance, if one of the the ships in the fleet is a New Anglian Confederation ship, all the ships must be NAC ships) or alien race.

• The ships must be as listed in the Fleet Book. Official variants described in the book are allowed. This means the ship must be either one of the designs shown in the book with it's control sheet, or one of the variants listed in the description of the ship class. Example: The NAC Valley Forge class Superdreadnought is shown on page 18, but the description also includes two variants (one with a hangar bay replaced by a forward mounted SML battery, and one with both hangars replaced by SML batteries); all three versions of the ship are legal for the tournament. If you are using a variant of a ship, please make sure that the ship is clearly labeled as a variant on its control sheet.

• The point total of all the ships in a fleet must be 1500 or less points. No ship may have a point total that exceeds half of the fleet's total. For instance, if a fleet totals 1490 points the largest ship in the fleet must not be worth more than 745 points. Note that this is the base value of a ship and does not include the point total for the ship's fighters.

• If a fleet contains one or more fighter squadrons, the point total for the largest ship in the fleet plus the point total for the fleet's fighters must not exceed half the value of the fleet. Example 1 - Valid Fleet: An FSE fleet worth 1500 points could include the Bologna class light carrier (580 points) and 4 normal fighter squadrons (72 points). The total points for this ship and the fighters is 652 points, which is less than half the cost of the fleet. Example 2 - Invalid Fleet: An NSL fleet worth 1500 points could not include the Der Theuerdank class fighter carrier (737 points) and 4 normal fighter squadrons (72 points). The total points for this ship and the fighters is 809 points, which is more than half the cost of the fleet. In fact, in order for a fleet to include the Der Theuerdank class fighter carrier, it could not have any fighter squadrons.

• Each fleet must consist of the following:
  a) At least one of the ships in the fleet must be a capital ship. For the purposes of this rule, a capital ships is a battlecruiser, battleship, battledreadnought, superdreadnought, or a carrier of any size. Note the ship cost restrictions in rules 3 and 4, above.
  b) For every capital ship in the fleet, there must be at least one or more cruisers. For the purposes of this rule, a cruiser is a light cruiser, escort cruiser, or heavy cruiser. (Note: a battlecruiser is not a cruiser for this rule.)
  c) For every cruiser in the fleet, there must be at least one or more escorts. For the purposes of this rule, an escort is a frigate, heavy frigate, destroyer, missile destroyer, or super destroyer.

• Points for fighter groups are not included with the ship points in the Fleet Books. Fighters must be purchased separately. A fleet can have as few fighter squadrons as it wants, but the fleet may not have more fighter squadrons than it has fighter bays on all ships. Fighters must be purchased in full squadrons of 6. Fighters do count towards the fleet's 1500 point total. Players are free to purchase fighters of any of the types listed on page 11 of the Fleet Book, Vol. 1. These are the only types of fighters allowed.

• There are a number of errors in the Fleet Books. Some of the point values of ships are inaccurate. The proper values will be used. The proper values are found in the Full Thrust Errata.
