2300 problems

TML message #6931From bundle 552

Hello everybody,

I have a few questions about 2300 and Star Cruiser that I decided to post
to the TML and also directly to the members of the 2300 list.  I would like
to receive some feedback from these on what format they would like the
list to work.  I also got a few "undelivered message" so if you're reading
this on TML but not through direct mail let me know.

# To Dean Gilbert: I read your request for 2300 info on the TML and decided
to include you in this list.  Let me know if you prefer to be removed.

# To the TML administrator:  I've been contacting people in the computer
center to create a ftp site for 2300 here in Lisbon.  But in this place
everything happens very slowly.  What do you think of creating a 2300AD
directory in the TML site (maybe there is one already, I haven't been there
for some time)?

Now for the real stuff:
    I tried out a few star cruiser scenarios and found out that a ship
with average crew quality has no chance of repairing any damage but power
plant damage.  How do you handle this?
    On the same game, is there a errata for it?  The ship design book is
loaded with mistakes and omissions (for example there was something about
determining weight or area of a weapon's fixture that was contradictory between
the rules and the examples but I don't remember the details).

    About 2300 does anyone have any information from "Invasion" in computer
form (an on-line version from GDW would be really nice).  I discovered that
it is out of print and I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere.

    I have been designing a few vehicles for the game and came up against
something apparently inconsistent: the price of the Swift Songbird utility
hover seems a little too high.  It costs Lv20 000 which is more expensive
than a limousine (Lv15 000) and terribly more expensive than another hover
from Matsu, the Snow Demon costing Lv4000.  The later is smaller and slower
but is a difference of 5 times acceptable?  (even a large wheeled transport
is cheaper than the songbird)
