Beyond the Gates of Antares: Ask Rick – Installment One

Warlord Games continues their work on Beyond the Gates of Antares, their new sci-fi miniatures skirmish game. As they get into the Beta version of the game they're constantly listening to you, the players. To show just how much, they've started a new "Ask Rick" column that will run once a month where you can ask questions to be answered by game designer Rick Priestley.
They've posted up the first one on their website.

From the post:

As we move forward through the Beta development stage of Beyond the Gates of Antares, we’re seeing more and more activity and excitement in the community which, in turn, feeds our excitement here at Warlord HQ!

A huge part of the development of Beyond the Gates of Antares is working in collaboration with the community – you’d be surprised the level at which your input, comments, and suggestions are taken on board!

As part of this, we’re launching a monthly ‘Ask Rick’ column. We want your questions to put to the esteemed Mr Priestley – whether it be rules questions, backstory questions, questions about the playtesting process, questions about our future plans for Antares, etc…

To put your question forward, head over to our Facebook page and leave a comment on the ‘Ask Rick’ post - we’ll then gather all of the questions roughly once per month, and post the answers in our Newsletter.

So, without further ado, we present the first edition of ‘Ask Rick!’
