ULTRA Rules Typo Reporting

[Elminster]

Not sure about this, but:

ApxAA_Tech Con.04.1 Upgrading hull generation, last sentence
"..., other undersized hulls can be increased in size as long as the Hull Type (i.e. DD, BB, etc) and Hull Generation are not changed."

If I'm not allowed to change the Hull Generation, does this mean I have to increase the size to normal maximum, and than I can upgrade the Generation?

Or is this a typo, and Hull Improvement (Dense, Thick) is meant?

[Starfire]

No, its hull generation, though Hull Improvement can not be changed either.

Hull generation is part of the determining maximum size, so it can not be upgraded.

As Marvin says, it is not a typo.

However, what I'm not sure maybe Marvin can answer. Is this rule intended to:

A> allow you to upgrade a hull from an undersized value to the maximum size for the same generation? For example, an undersized DDa of 25 HS can be upgraded to 30 HS (the maximum size for DDa).

or B> this rule is intended to allow you to upgrade the actual generation of the hull, and to the maximum HS for the new generation.

The problem with <B> is that the rule says "hull generation is unchanged". That would seem to me that <A> is correct.

[Elminster]

No, its hull generation, though Hull Improvement can not be changed either.

Then the example in ApxFF_Examples Con.04.1 has a strange wording. It begins with "An existing DD design prior to Basic Hulls:".
Then the DD will be cut in half and additional HS inserted.

For me this suggests upgrading an Alpha Hull to Basic Hull.

Ya, your right. That one slipped through.

It should read.
Con 4.01 should read
When Con.04 is being used, other undersized hulls can be increased in size as long as the Hull Type (i.e. DD, BB, etc.) and Hull Improvement are not changed.

It should read.
Con 4.01 should read
When Con.04 is being used, other undersized hulls can be increased in size as long as the Hull Type (i.e. DD, BB, etc.) and Hull Improvement are not changed.

So, to provide iron-clad ruling, it means:

1) a size 24 HS DD can be expanded to a 30 HS DD.
2) a DD can be expanded to a DDb (from 30 to 35 HS)
3) a DD -cannot- be turned into a DDf, or be given dense/thick hulls.
4) a DD -cannot- be expanded into a CL, or cut down to be a FG.

[Elminster]

1) a size 24 HS DD can be expanded to a 30 HS DD.
2) a DD can be expanded to a DDb (from 30 to 35 HS)

That's the point.
Can I upgrade a 24 HS DDa directly to a 35 HS DDb?
Or must I enlarge it to 30 HS and then upgrade to 35 HS?

I would say the first, as it makes no difference to the cost (I think), and as soon as the 24 HS is enlarged it is allowed to be upgraded anyway.

[Starfire]

Can I upgrade a 24 HS DDa directly to a 35 HS DDb?

Yes

[Elminster]

In D5.08 are two formulas.

The first is placed between the lines of the passage from D5.08 but actually belongs to D5.08.1.

The second is placed just below the "Speed Adjustment Table" from D5.08.1 and belongs to D5.08.2 which is mentioned there by "... the following formula:".

The two formulas should be arranged according to their rule.

The last sentence isn't finished.

Requires EL 2
I think this should be Elec 2, as it is a branch from the Electronics tree.
