Vogon Poetry Transmitter (was: OT: Asteroid...)

Firstly we need a Vogon Destructor ship:

Vogon Construction Ship (734 points) Class: Vogon Superdreadnought Mass: 80
Move: 4 FTL: Std Tech: Vogon Hull: Military (they tend to run into (or
through) things...) Streamlining: Partial
Damage: 40; 10/10/10/10
Systems:
 3 FCS
 Screen - 1
8 x PDAF (they don't like hitchhikers) 6 x Ortillery batteries (for
planetbusting)
 8 x C-batteries; 4 x P/F, 4 x F/S,
 Vogon Poetry Transmitter (2 mass/10 pts)
 Electronic Thumb (1 mass/7 pts)

Ok, now for stats: Vogon Poetry Transmitter: Used in boarding actions. Roll 1
die as PDAF fire, except hits are inflicted on the other ships boarding factor
before resolution. (ie. a 5 is rolled against a 6 BF ship; it now has only 5
BF to repel boarders) Electronic Thumb: Used in boarding actions. If the
Vogon's win a round of Boarding combat, they begin torturing the prisoners.
Roll a d6. On a
roll of 6, the Vogon's BF is _increased_ by 1 to represent the prisoners
telling them how to bypass the security codes.

I think I've got the devices right.:)

After I stopped chuckling, I read:

Actually, I think this is what the opposition's bf's would use to get on the
Vogon ships, with, of course, the assistance of the Dendrassi
in-flight
caterers...

That's right - the Vogons don't use the Thumb, the hitchikers do, to get
onto passing ships...

So a boarding party device it is, but only for the Vogon's opponents -
as defense, the Vogons have the dreaded Vogon Poetry...
