If a screening cruiser takes a PD crit, do allied ships within 2 hexes then lose their PD bonus from said Screening cruiser?

I can't finding anything in the rules, but it seems likely, after all what does it help with is P Def is off-line?

True... it's *logical*, but it might not be balanced... because none of the other roles are lost by critical hits... except maybe the RDF role on an engine hit.  Actually, I guess that begs the question: Is the init bonus lost if a flagship gets a bridge crit? |

I didnt even see anything that says that a Screen ship even has to HAVE PD to contribute.  |

Hmmm. . . oversight there. I think that yes, both flags and screening ships lose their bonus on the appropriate critical. I'll see what I can do to fix that.

another screening cruiser question, and a question about carriers:
1> Does a CLS grant *itself* a +1 PD die?
2> If a fighter transport loses all of its fighter hardpoints, does it then lose the ability to power fighters within its range?

1. We've been playing it that way.
2. Have not been playing it that way, but might be a good idea. Thoughts?

1. We've been playing it that way. 2. Have not been playing it that way, but might be a good idea. Thoughts? 1. Never thought you could grant yourselves a P Def die..but then again, I thought you would need to buy a P Def for the screen to be able to help other ships. However, it doesn't say you have to have one. 2. We have never had a ship lose all of it's bays, but we have a lot of bays. I think it would be okay, and falls in with the other crit losses. So it should be all or none. So if an admiral and screening can be lost, fighter powering should be lost. |

Yeah, I'll add these to the FAQ.
