Subject: [FT] Alarishi Tech
Imperial Tactical Technologies wishes to announce: 1. the "Insert class name here" class SC. Rumors that ITT simply bought the design for a ESU Lenov, disarmed it and added Superior Sensors are of course nonsense. We also upped the price (440MCr). 2. Fighter AI's. Usable only for Torpedo or Attack fighters (AI's can handle attacking ships but aren't able to cope with fighter combat as well). No change in stats but it makes me feel better to know that a) it's only silicon chips who face that demoralizing loss rate; and b) somewhere back home someone who would otherwise be in a fighter is instead happily contributing to the 6% annual population increase. 3. Stealth missiles. I'm proposing that MT missiles should be able to reduce their payload to 1d6 and buy stealth instead. Assume the average sensor can't detect the missile until it's 18" away, and the missile moves 18"/turn. Of course, in a squadron this will motivate you to provide scouts. It will also be somewhat less likely to fall to PDS (perhaps hit probability reduced as if by Screen 1). Discussion?
