Munchkin Ship designs

> I don't think you should feel so bad. Stock ships against those

The points system does not really work to stop the abuses of the ship design
system. If there are no fighters in the game then most players will strip
out the PDAF/ADAF and replace with weapons. This is unrealistic in
overall game world. I like the rules that were posted regarding mass changes
for weapons. These rules mean that smaller batts have more arcs, whereas an A
batt has to but arcs with mass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A straight mass increase will not work, but a mass charge per arc will achieve
the desired effect (i.e. give people a reason to use 1 arc weapons) For
instance C batteries 1 mass includes 3 arcs.
B batteries 2 mass includes 2 arcs + 1 for third arc
A batteries 3 mass includes 1 arc  + 1 for each additional arc.
The rationale being that larger guns require increasing amounts of hardware to
pivot through the larger arcs.
