B5 Rules

Hi Mark, interesting rules but I have two questions.

1) Energy Weapons

Weapon | Weapon Mass/ | Damgae Dice/
Type     |  Points Cost | Recharge Time
--------------------------------------
Type 1 |        2/4         |   1 dice/1 turn

Type 2 |    3/8     | 2 dice/2 turns

Type 3 |    4/12            | 3 dice/3 turns<

Are these tech level 1 thru 3 or tech level 1 weapons only? Either way you do
more damage mounting type 1's over the type 2 or 3 due to a faster recharge
rate. Seems that if you three different types they should all charge at 2
turns possibly.

2) Sensors and ECM

There is no indication how the tech levels of the races effect these systems.
The EA ships could not even lockon to the Minbari fighters in the war, but if
a mount Superior sensors on an EA ship against a Minbari fighter basic ECM he
is going to lose.

or did you mean tech level 1 ~ basic tech level 2 ~ enhanced tech level 3 ~
superior
at no cost, any ship from the race is fitted with the sensor/ECM gear.
Better equipment would require mass/pts to install.

Shadows special rules: No ECM at all because everyone and there brother seems
to be able to target a Shadow. The only problem is that it takes lots of
people to hurt them.

In my version, the beams take power from a centeral store. So 3 1s take the
same power to fire as 1 x 3. This removes any anomaly for the charge rate of
different sized beams.

Hello: After, my last gaming session, I decided to make a few changes to my B5
to FT rules. I've just finished updating my rules and my ships to

reflect this.
