Ship sizes and types are determined by the original FT mass/class chart.
Anything of 100 mass would then be classified as a "supership". Each mass
point is equal to 1000 tons. As some of my ships are smaller than some ships
of different races, this represents the difference of material used in that
ships construction.

G'day,

I'm a bit thick today (OK most days... just thought I short cut that
thread!!), but what does this mean.
> All shields deflect except on 6.)
How do the shields work exactly?
Thanks

> [quoted text omitted]
Hi Beth, I havent put these into use yet but here goes: The weapon system if
it hits its target would do 2 damage to the shields,hit the armor for 2 more
points and punch through to the hull for 2 more points of damage.
The shields would reflect,deflect,dissapate,etc... the incoming weapons damage
except on a to hit roll of 6
Most shields are Trek-ish in nature. The human based races have a
energy/limited matter deflection system. These would push away most
energies coming at the vessel whether it be natural or artificial. They would
also provide meteoroid & micrometeor protection and also small caliber railgun
projectiles and missiles.
The Perg'r'nese Parloomian and Delthaze shields are like ballons. The
artificial singularities used to power their ships are used to "inflate" a
anti-gravity screen which for all intents can block out just about
anything. Just depends on the power levels applied.
VThe Vindric and Hargonne have no shielding other than radiation screens.
Hope that helps
G'day,
> The weapon system if it hits its target
So can shields be overwhelmed etc, what does doing damage to them do?
Cheers
Unto the breach with comments... For most of these, you're best to leave the
actual mechanics the same as
FTFB, but adjust the mass/cost to allow for each races "advantages".
Otherwise you may have trouble in pickup games with regular FT players.

One system in use currently is to have the shield generators "repair"
1-2
armour boxes per generator. The "damage on 6" bit is already part of the FTFB
system in the beam rerolls etc. Combining this with Phalon layered armour and
you have the effect you want.

No armour in other words.

Use standard rules, perhaps cost it a 2 pts/mass.

??? not very clear, possibly use MT capship missiles depending on the
densities involved. The other option would be standard rules, but increase the
launcher size by 1 mass.

Use Kra'vak K-gun rules. (FTFB2)

5 or 6. No re-roll. Can only fire every other round due to re-charge
time)
Use Wavegun rules (MT-FTFB)

These will need to be increased in either cost or mass to balance with the
other systems. I use an identical system for my HH plasma torpedoes, but have
them counterbalanced by being totally deflected by screens.

Keep it at 1 target per FC as standard.

Standard beams, but decrease cost by 1 pt/mass.
> Pulsar (Pulse) Torpedo

Use standard K-gun rules, but give the Perg'r'nese extra layers of
armour compared to the other races.

Use pulsetorps with +50% mass and +25% ranges.
> Pulse Torpedo(Same as FT per MT update)
Use the Heavy Needle Beam from the FT weapons archive

See above.

Not sure what to do about this one. No FT weapon ignores armour completely.

See above.
