Subject: RE: [ds] Stupid DS2 Question
Not so stupid. 1. DFO load is 4 capacity points. 2. I model sidewinders using SG GMS/P. For dirtside, this would be capacity 1, range:18", draw 1 chit. (see: http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/sg/dogfight.htm for my take on these). Landers: For Dirtside, if the lander is carrying tanks, it's too big for the scale of the game, so simply pay the "interface" cost. If you do want to model landers of this scale, you'll need to design them using FT and allow 1 mass per size 5 vehicle (20-25 cs per mass). VTOLs don't have interface capability under the rules, due to the motive type/powerplant (vectored thrust or rotor lift etc). Interface craft of this size come under the aerospace design rules (1000% engine cost).
