Fleet Morale

We have found that a lot of battles tend to be fought to the death. The fleet
morale rules were not to our liking so we use the following:

The morale rating of the fleet is:
(1 x each Escort class) + (4 x each Cruiser class) + (8 x each Capital
Ship
class) + 4 for the Flagship.
The Flagship must be chosen from the largest class of ship available.(We like
to have a flagship to add a bit more interest to the game. Players will go to
great lengths to make sure their flagship survives) Each time a ship is
destroyed or exits the table subtract the following from the fleet morale
rating:
Escort class - 1 point
Cruiser class - 4 points
Capital class - 8 points
If the ship was the Flagship subtract an additional 4 points. When the Morale
rating gets to 50% (round up) or less the fleet may strike. The first time it
reaches 50% roll a D6 on a roll of 6 the fleet strikes. Everytime a ship is
lost after the 50% mark has been reached make an additional roll, adding 1 to
the die for each additional ship lost.
