Subject: Stupid DS2 Question
I can't find it, and that just means I'm missing it as I'm sure I've seen it before.... but how big (cap points) is a DFO load? And has anyone done rules for things like sidewinders (A2A missiles for VTOLs)? Or can you just use a normal GMS? And when you do lander design, do you usually: 1) design the lander, pay the points for it, and let it fight if it has any weapons 2) pay the "interface landing" penalty for any troop units it carries (and I'd assume vehicles if it was a big enough lander?) and not worry about paying for it? If so, would you let it fight? 3) If the same lander was then also to be used for casevac, would you pay another 100 pts for it? This whole area of how to cost VTOLS that can be troopships and reach interface orbit but have some light support armament and can make some bomb runs and can also serve as casevac leaves me a little lost. This seems reasonable from a "reality" (or pseudo reality) point of view, but I'm not sure how to cost it. Tomb.
