Subject: [FT] Honor Harrington update

For those interested, I'm updating my HH rules at the moment (will be uploaded
in about 3 hours time).

http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/ft/honor.htm

Major changes:

Missiles now use MD12 cinematic movement with a 6" attack envelope (2 pt turn
limit). Nuke warheads now do 2d6 damage with a 3" attack envelope.
Countermissiles are now scatterpacks with 54" range.

Once I get some free time (probably after sstrike starts and I finish the
current DP round), I'll organise another scenario (no hidden ships this
time...)

Normal launch rules apply (you need 1 active firecon in missile launch phase).
However, both the launch rails and extended magazine can be hit by threshold
checks. I may change this, as I haven't tested the Minotaur or Wayfarer in
combat as yet (DON'T let the captain hear you calling her "Minnie" or you'll
spend several days in the brig).

I'll get around to this when the other systems are satisfactory (otherwise see
above).

Only one firecon required, regardless of #pods launched.

Yes, but there needs to be a game balancing factor, or the Q-ship/pod
ship will always win.

It get's too complicated under FT rules. Including full decoy rules starts
approaching SFB.
