Attack Vector - Tactical (3rd Edition, Deluxe Edition)

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO COMMAND A STARSHIP?
The Origins Award winning game of hard science space combat, now in its 3rd edition. If you liked The Expanse’s space combat, you’ll love this!

Take command of a fusion-propelled spaceship, using the most scientifically accurate space combat model ever put into a game, all with clever play aids and mechanics that hide the math so you can focus on maneuver, timing and resource management!

This game of dynamic segmented vector maneuver has fuel fractions with the calculus pre-done for you, declining mass fractions, an easy to manage thermodynamic system, and fully realized and articulated movement in 3D! There are even pilot perspective orbital mechanics rules that have your ship juggling thrust and orbital forces!

Kinetic weapons scale their damage at the square of the impact velocity, laser weapons have damage falling off according to the laws of optics, and a damage allocation system that tells a narrative of how your ships lose capabilities as they take damage. There are dozens of scientific notes explaining how the science was done to make the rules work, all tied into a comprehensive future history with political intrigue, honor and courage.

The Deluxe Edition has a full color rulebook.
