Neat idea, but what about the relative velocities of the two ships? If both
ships are travelling at speed 10 directly toward each other, I would think
that the enemy ship would punch a hole through the Savaksu ship if it tried to
eat the enemy ship! Wouldn't it make more sense to use part of the boarding
rules, i.e. the two ships have to be within 1" velocity of each other, and
they have to be within 1 point heading of each other.
One thought that drift across my mind was that Svasku ships are bio therefore
they have to eat. What better than an opposing ships! The svasku ship moves to
within 3 inches of it victim. The other vesel can be
a maximun of 1/3 the mass of the Svasku ship. It then 'tractor beams'
its opponent this takes up the wqhole of the fire phase. This contest is
decided by rolling a d6 + the thrust of the target vessel against a d6 +
the target vessels mass /0. This is repeated each turn during the
fighter/missile movement until the trapped vessel escapes moving at
maximum acceleration away from the svasku or it is eaten up. The svasku
vessel does svasku ships mass/20 D6.(Round Down minimum of 1)
An example:
A kravak frigate mass 10 is captured by a Svasku ship Mass 41
Turn 1 no damage is done to the Kravak due to it being the turn that he
was tractored
Turn 2 The kravak fails to break free. The Svaku roles 2d6 doing only 4
points of damage!
Turn 3 The Kravak fails again and is promptly digested
Well taking my inability to type well try this out and Bon appitie (No I
know I can't speel in French either)
Remember the target ship is only on a fraction the size. I also feel it
should use as many energy points as the target ships mass + speed.
I really want to keep these rules KISS.(Keep it Simple Stupid)
