Re: Silly question: This is a job for... Super Chicken!

Re: HA, Ranged I've been crunching numbers for a Characteristic Adds to Power Advantage. I haven't gotten very far yet, but +3/4 seems to be a more appropriate value. If it was +1/2, it's more efficient to buy the Characteristic than more dice of the Power (especially at low power levels).

Re: How Big Can Starship Warden Really Be? I think that if you attempt to rotate a sphere around more than one axis, it is equivalent to rotating around a single axis which is the sum of the other axes. (Geometry was a long time ago.)
