perhaps it would be better to rate the system in terms of superior, enhanced,
ordinary, etc...etc... and have the opposed systems roll off for the edge in
fleet control during that round.

ordinary gets a d6 enhanced gets a d8 superior gets a d10

use the difference between the 2 rolls to determine the effects.

Well, the reason I stuck with the ol' D6 roll is that the only dice used in FT
are D6s an so I thought it would be better to stick with that rather than
introducing new die types into it.

The different types of Fleet Cons makes sense though. Poorer Cons for smaller
control vessels as might be used in small colonial fleets, larger and more
powerful ones for the battle fleets. Hmmmm. Have to think about this.
