Fighters and EMP Bombs

1. EMP Bombs/Arty: Not bad. But I'd say a
LINE infantry unit could be affected (just needing a higher total?). They have
lots of electronics and could be like the NSL or NI
partially-powered hardshell. Also, a significant
enough EMP could cause some rather sick people, no? And you know I like the
idea of the EMP Limpet mine or the EMP Claymore.

2. Fighters: This much I will say - Most of what
has been discussed as problematic has already appeared (perhaps all of it) in
playtest list
ruminations (this applies to the large/small ship
issue and other things too). The solutions (one hopes) should address the
concerns raised while addressing a few others that most people, as normal
players, aren't directly concerned with (things like not wanting to reprint
all the SSDs or change the rules such that this is required and keeping the
game reasonably simple). Of course, the obvious things like the uselessness of
small groups of fighters and the dominance of large ones (relative to the
defence... before Stiltman gets his axe out *grin*) and the overly attractive
nature of soap bubbles are major targets. And if, in cleaning these things up,
FB designs appear more optimal than they do today, that's all to the
good. :)
