New FT Ideas: The Kraelj Dampening Field / EMP Salvo Missile s

Seems a bit powerful, depending on range of the effect. If the effect is short
(6") this could work well (you would have to plan your maneuvers well. If it
is a longer range effect, I think that it would be too powerful.

Another option is to have it behave like an EMP missile effect. When another
ship enters the effect, it must roll a d6 for each system. A roll of 4-6
indicates that the system is suppressed (cannot function) while in the
field. Each round the ship remains in the field, each _unaffected_
system is rolled for.

I think that arming them with EMP/Needle weaponry might be a better fit.

Here is yet another idea for a new system:

EMP Salvo Missiles: Same as standard salvo missiles except:
When missiles hit, no hull/armor damage is done. However, roll a
threshold check for each system. The system roll must exceed the number of
missiles that hit the ship (after reduction by PDS and misses) and a threshold
roll of 6 always avoids damage to the system. If more than one salvo of
EMP/SM
hit, roll a threshold for each salvo. Example:
Two salvos of EMP/SM missiles are targeted at point x,y,z. The nearest
ship is the Poorboy. Poorboy fires 3 PDS at salvo 1 and his escort Little
Brother
uses ADFC/PDSs to target the second salvo. The first salvo is reduced to
4 missiles. The second salvo is reduced to 1 missile. Of the 4 missiles of the
first salvo, 3 hit Poorboy. Of the second salvo, the 1 missile hits. The first
salvo causes each system to roll a threshold roll. Each system must roll 4 or
higher to avoid damaging the system. A second threshold roll must be made for
each system due to the second salvo. However, on this roll the
system needs only roll a 2+ to avoid damage.
