Subject: [FT] FMA Quality for FT

Wandering through the archives, I found
http://lists.firedrake.org/gzg/199805/msg00445.html
and realized that the same dice scheme could be used to indicate quality in
FT.  Assume PTorps hit on a 1-5 at 0-6mu, 1-4 at 12mu etc.  Beams do 2
points on a 1, 1 pt on a 2 or 3, no damage for higher rolls. DCPs repair
damage on a 1, or find that a system is beyond repair on a 6+; this
means that elite crews (d4) never find that a system is beyond repair, while
poor (d10) crews frequently run into problems beyond their competence.

If you want to keep it simple, you say that 1st rate navies use d6 for
everything, 2nd rate use d8, 3rd rate use d10. If you want more detail,
though, you may decide that _Hood_ has d6 sensors and beam dice, d8
torpedoes ("can't practice much, torps are expensive"), d4 point defense, d10
damage control, etc.

Haven't decided how quality would affect SMR lock on, but most other systems
would appear to work pretty well.
