Subject: FT Weapon systems
Hello from sunny England:) So i'm shut up in doors painting minatures:) Ok Needle beams. If you fire 2 needle beams at 1 system on a target vessel do you need a fire con for each needle beam? And on the comments about FTL fighters. A mass 1 ship with just an FTL drive no thrust rating costs 3 points and 1 mass. A mass 2 ship with just a FTL drive and no thrust rating costs 6 points and 1 mass. Therefore why not just say that FTL capable fighters cost 3-6 points more per fighter. They might seem cheap but don't forget the limited endurance factor. This would probably work out like the X-wing/Tie fighter computer games. Torpedo fighters jump in, launch torpedoes and then jump out again. This would make a very different playing style. You would probably have to say on which turns fighters would jump in before starting play though;)
