One point of difference I feel is worth pointing out:įrom a narrative perspective, saucer separation on a Galaxy class and MVAM are fundamentally different in a way that I feel should be reflected in the rules of using them. You could also say the two other sections act like an Advantage similar to a generic “Security team” on away missions. So from a game mechanic point of view, I believe the two other sections need to provide some form of assist or other enhancement to the command section’s Tasks, mainly its attack. So treating them as three separate ships does not seem feasible since no player would ever directly control them. From the episode where it first appeared, there does not seem to be a battle bridge and the MVAM appears to be designed so that the two non-command sections act kind of automatically, or are at least controlled from the main bridge.

The main difference is that the crew remains on the main bridge and does not split up. But let’s say this part is similar to the Galaxy class, and the Prometheus splits in three different ships. I’m not sure that they are fully functional ships with bridges and so on. The Prometheus however, splits in three separate sections. That’s how we have seen it on the show and the rules cover this. The Galaxy class saucer separation splits in two ships, and the bridge crew usually splits between the main and battle bridge, so the players essentially control both ships. Each separate section counts as a separate ship when they split apart
