Subject: Superships....

We've built the modular superships, with rules co-opted for making
bases. One of the rules not taken was the transfer of damage from one section
to another when it was destroyed. We reasoned that bases tend to be civilian
in nature or that their funtions were designed for utility not suvivability
first. Therefore military superships should be compartmentalized to minimize
damage transfer between sections.

Other modifications include allowing waveguns and a single nova cannon per
section with shields being lowered only on the firing section. This

makes superships capable of being tremendous firing platforms, capable of
sustaining large amounts of damage. We've tried to limit the building of such
ships by making construction times twice what they would bbe for building an
equivalent mass in cruisers.

Has anyone else played with modular superships??
