Here are the mechanics of Point Defense Batteries so far: "A point defense battery intercepts an attack on a 2D roll equal to or more than its Intercept score, as shown on the Point Defense table. A cumulative DM-1 is applied to this roll for every additional attacker defended against in the...

Why not just add a hull modification that hardens equipment against EMP? It wouldn't have to be throughout the entire ship, just for certain sections, like armoured bulkheads or the (fib) option for computers.

Are there going to be any other kinds of meson weaponry that don't have the Destructive characteristic? If not, what's the point of saying meson screens can reduce damage by 2D when they only affect Spinal Weapon damage in the form on -1DD/5 screens? Can meson screens reduce the damage of...

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but I don't see how that works with the posted rules. For example, TL 15 Fusion plant produces 20 EP per Ton. A 100dT plant produces 2,000 EP. If you increase the reactor size by a factor of 10, you'd have a 1,000dT plant that produces 20,000 EP. That's the...

I think this new edition should keep the status quo of just having a spectrum of different hull TLs, with lower ones being a tiny bit cheaper and quite weaker, and higher TLs being more expensive and considerable stronger. I know buffing/nerfing aspects of previous versions is all part of the...
