Hello everybody

The basic Full Thrust rules on p.22 have a 'Weasel' decoy system that allows a
small vessel to simulate the sensor signature of a large one.

It is costed at 1 Mass, and at 20 points for a system imitating a cruiser, 40
points to imitate capital ships.

Are those still the official values? Or have they been superseded in one of
the later books? I didn't find anything about it in a quick scan of the later
books.

I wanted to add them to my "Orion" webpage, as the "Lancet" shuttles are
equipped with a similar system. To cost it, I would like to use the official
numbers.

Greetings Karl Heinz

They haven't been endorsed or deprecated, so by default they're still
official...at the moment. We're lobbying for sensors to be one of the sections
addressed by FB3.
