The Additional Rules for shuttlecraft

Shuttlecraft Rules wrote:3) If, through the use of an ability, you are able to deploy a [WEAPON] Upgrade to a shuttlecraft, you cannot deploy a [WEAPON] Upgrade to that shuttlecraft with a cost of more than 3 SP (with the exception of the Antimatter Mines Upgrade).


Since a specific exception is made for Antimatter Mines, is there a way to use them from Sakharov even though it doesn't have a rear arc?

1) Can a shuttlecraft start the game docked to a Capital ship?

2) If you have 2 shuttlecraft and 2 Capital ships in your fleet can both shuttlecraft be docked with a single Capital ship at the same time?

3) Can shuttlecrafts have Admirals, and if so can they be transferred when docked in the same way aqs Captains and Upgrades?

4) Is the 3 point restriction on weapons deployed to a shuttlecraft inclusive of the faction penalty - e.g. Kazon Photonic Charges (3 dice attack) is a 3 point weapon but is out of faction; so would the shuttlecraft be allowed to take them?

1. No
2. No, only 1 shuttlecraft may dock at a time.
3. No, you may not deploy admirals to shuttlecraft.
4. Yes, you could only take a 2 point weapon if it does not match the faction of the shuttlecraft.

No, the Sakharov does not have a rear arc and cannot attack with the Anti-Matter Mines, but future shuttlecrafts will have rear arcs and will be able to deploy Anti-Matter Mines.

1. Can a shuttlecraft dock with a cloaked capital ship?

2. If a shuttlecraft is cloaked (masking circuitry/cloaking device/etc) can it dock with a capital ship?

What if the Admiral is deployed to the shuttlecraft as its captain? Is that allowed, and if so, if the shuttlecraft docks can the admiral become an admiral for the existing captain?

Please note that if the Admiral is deployed to the shuttlecraft as a Captain if you choose to move the Admiral (Captain side) to the main ship you must swap Captains and the Admiral (Captain side) would not be on the same ship as the Captain.

Can one capital ship sustain both a shuttlecraft and a fighter squadron?
