Dice and DS2

DS2 - what I'd like to see:

Brian raises an intersting point. In the spirit of a generic design system and
"bring your own PSB", capacity points coul be done away with. Interesting
idea.

I'd like to see the following go:
- restriction on weapons by size class (jeep with 4 APSW or APC size 2
with infantry and 3 APSW etc are hard to build, but we know such things exist)
- restriction on armour by size class (if I want armour 5 on my little
jeep, so be it)

I'd like to see:
- firecons should be better costed to make basic stuff appealing
- sensors should appear in construction rules for spotting
- bring over the missing SG2 items (GMS/P comes to mind)
- IAVR and GMS/P must be able to threaten MBTs (today's missiles can)
- more quality types (all 5 from SG) for vehicle crew and infantry
- EW
- stealth more clearly explained (is it visual?)
- stealth made cost balanced

These are the ones that jump to mind.

DICE:

There is a D16. Gamescience? I think makes it. I got 8 (and inked them) from
BR Snasis. Excellent dice, good addition for FMAS and for SG2 for certain
weapons. Got them in purple since I colour code my dice to help newbies
understand the game and grab the right dice.

D12 + D4 is NOT as good as D16 in certain cases. One case is D12 vs D12
+ D4. Yes, you do increase your odds of not getting a 1, but you
probably don't bump up the mean as much as you do by going to D16. And
D16 opens up results where you can beat D12, unlike D12 + D4.

I'm still looking for good looking D14 and D18s. The more dice options you
have, the more options your games can take advantage of.

G'day,

2D8 would probably solve your problems here though Tom and they're a lot more
common than D16's right now;)
