Subject: Sa'Vasku Pod Types
I have two new Pod types in mind and wanted to run them past the group. ******************** Hammer Pod Used as an Ortillery system, per MT rules. Power: 3 Biomass: 1 ******************** Burster Pod Fleet Support Artillery System Power: 5 Biomass: 1 Burster fire occurs in the same phase as Salvo Missle Systems fire. The firing player announces that he/she is firing a Burster Pod, and places a marker at their intended target point. This can be anywhere in the firing arc of the Pod Launcher up to 36 MU from the firing ship. At the end of the movement phase any ships within 6MU of the targeting marker are subject to burster damage. Roll 2 D6 for each ship within range and apply damage as follows: 1-3 = no effect 4-5 = 1 DP 6 = 2 DP + Reroll Damage Points apply to Armor first, if available. Rerolls apply directly to ship structure as to simulate penetrating damage. ******************** I plan on running Sa'Vasku in the future and have designed a Support Ship the use of these new Pod types in mind. Any feedback would be welcome... I have a fire extinguisher handy. Thanks,
