Oerjan:

That's an easy one. You're discussing SGII, so it isn't worth any
points at all :-)

<snort> Not until Starfire 4th and FB2 is out, and I've finished the
DSII vehicle design system :-)

Later,

Well, since I'm the one who tossed some of those ideas, I might as well be a
man about it and do some math... (ARGH! I HATE Math!)

Currently, an RFAC costs 5x its class. That means an RFAC 2 is 10 points. If
it's the largest weapon on the vehicle (Like on a Bradley type vehicle), and
the Fire Control is Superior, add another 12 points. APSW's cost 4 points
each. The rules I proposed would make RFAC 2's much more powerful, but RFAC
1's would only really benefit a very close ranges. My suggestion is to cost
them the same as HVC's. It's difficult to compare the two weapons, since their
classes don't overlap. However, vs vehicles they have similar damage
validities, and while RFAC's would now be more powerful vs infantry, they are
still outranged by the heavier HVC's.

Therefore, let's try this: if you use the house rules I suggested for
increased deadliness of RFAC's vs infantry in DS II, the RFAC's should cost 8
x class of the weapon.

What would some of the enhanced abilities for RFACs in DS2 being tossed mean?
I assume they'd mean that the DS2 point costs for RFACs would need adjusted
somewhat. I figured someone might have some ideas here....
