Subject: Bailey's Lament #6
There is no Lament #6. Alright, I heard those sighs of relief. Actually, I have good news. I had a very successful evening of Full Thrust and all to one ship design and die rolls being at least average and some going my way. The ship design is at the end of this post. Even Steve, he who is the god of 6s, rolled about average for a change and his many 4s bounced off my screen. And when he did roll a series of 6s, he was on my side and hit every critical system on the opponent's ship in one threshold check. It was so nice to not be on the receiving end for a change. Against Steve I even got initiative at the crucial moment: we ended up 1 inch apart, full salvos facing each other, and my double thresholding 6 pulse torpedo salvo took out the bridge and all fire controls before he got to fire. It was glorious. My "winning" design, with 3 victories and 1 draw, silhouetted in a Klingon D-7 style ship: Mass: 184 Cost: 619 Average hull (55), 12 armor, single screen FTL, Main drive 4 3 FC, 6 PDS, 1 ADFC 2 pulse torp launchers (FP+F+FS) in the nose 2 pulse torp launchers (AP+FP+F) in left warp nacelle 2 pulse torp launchers (F+FS+AS) in right warp nacelle 1 pulse torp launcher (AP+A+AS) in main hull It's also on my web page under Klingon: torpedo armed
