Subject: [FT]Plasma Vortex Projector Mk 2
Plasma Vortex Projector Cost and mass as beams. There are no Class 1 projectors Up to 3 arcs Fires a guided orb of destructive energy Placed up to 12" from the firing ship during SLM launch phase. It moves in the fighter movement phase, moving up to 12". A Plasma Vortex has END equal to the class of the projector,loses 1 End at the end of each turn, and can be targetted by Beams and PDS (though the maximum damage from any dice is one) losing 1 End per point of damage taken. The Plasma Vortex may attack any target within 6" range and rolls 1 beam dice (no re-rolls) for each unused END it has left at point of attack and ignores screens. It requires 1 dedicated FC to use, but may target ships, fighters, or missiles. Only one PV can be controlled per FC. The original inspiration for this came about as thoughts on the lack of variety in KV weaponry, and a desire to create a weapon which functions like the Plasma Torpedoes from SFB.:)I've said my piece, now you can say yours:]
