Subject: (FT)-Defsats, and some other rambles
Defsats
I have one question about building defsats with no drive- where does the
power for the weapons systems come from. If you say solar pannels, the pannels
would have to be rather large, making it a nice target (a nice large flat
array for your sensors to bounce off, and vulneable to losing power from the
pannels being hit). You can assume an increase of effeciency for power
systems, but for energy systems the power output is still equal to the power
input, and to dammage warships armour still requires a lot of energy to be
focused onto the target. Myself, I would say you need 2% mass for a orbital
maneuvering drive (0.2 thrust) and power plant.
Modular ships
How about allowing modular warships to have one core section and four moduals.
The core has to be larger than any one modual, and contains the FTL, normal
drive, core systems, etc. The moduals would have their own hull and armour,
and would be hit separately from the main hull. When the hull for the modual
is destroyed, the modual is lost with all it`s weapons and systems, and cannot
be recovered by dammage control parties. I say four moduals, because it
aleviates the need for a roll for whitch piece of the ship is hit. Instead,
any fire from the F or A arc`s hits the main hull, and each modual is for each
offset arc. This is used for dammage hits only, and the weapon arcs for each
modual can be any arc`s as per normal. If a modual is destroyed, any dammage
from that arc hits the main hull instead.
Reenforced hull
I heard a lot of discusion about UN ships having a strong hull for the mass of
a normal hull. Because a hull now has no set strength other than a
minimum of 10%, how about this system instead?-
mass/dp as normal, but a cost of x3.
1 dp removed from 2nd row and added to the first row, +2cost
2 dp removed from 3rd row and added to the first row, +3cost
3 dp removed from 4th row and added to the first row, +4cost
This would make the ships harder to threshold check for the first threshold,
but more vulnerable as the dammage increases. For example-
Normal ship-40DP hull, cost=80
1st row=10DP 2nd row=10DP 3rd row=10DP 4th row=10DP
Reenforced ship-40DP hull, cost=129
1st row=16DP 2nd row=9DP 3rd row=8DP 4th row=7DP The cost are just a rough
guess off the top of my head, but you could have double the DP`s moved to the
first row for x4 hull cost etc.
Any comments?

I felt as if I was in the center of the target audience for for the first
three films; although, the ending of ROTJ left me a little flat (Why
stormtroopers wh o
mercilessly gun down every un-named character in the other two films
find ewoks too cute to shoot escapes me).
The pre-release hype and marketing tie-ins of Ep1 gave me the impression
that i t was an excuse to show what ILM could throw up on a screen, while
fleecing millions of parents. It was the marketing hype that really got to me.
If I ha d seen a commercial for the film before seeing several weeks (months?)
of
tie-in
commercials, I might have thought that the movie was created for more than
reasons of unadulterated greed.
What puzzled me more was that friends of mine who saw the film considered it
to be one of the worst films they had seen in a while, but with incredibly
good visuals, so they only went to see it four or five times.
So as I had correctly identified the target of the film to be the wallets of
parents of children, I stayed home.

Anybody know of a campaign system that'd work with SG2? Occaisionally
crossovers to DS2 or, heck, even FT would be acceptable.

Can be done!! GMT offered counters for the Alexandrian army to play in their
Waterloo game... based on some historian reflections about how little black
powder had really changed war, up to that time.
Well... sorry! :)

Pretty much been said, again and again and again...
I found subtle things to appreciate, but also found such in SST.
Explaining it here doesn't seem to be forwarding the list's goals at all.
