Orion Scouts???

Myrm: You are a bit confused.
The Kzinti SCS (Space Control Ship) does not have sensor channels, it's the SSCS (SUPER Space Control Ship) that does.

Oh yes....flipping between pages...that'd explain that then....we really need a Homer emoticon....

Hmm I cannot see the SSCS in the SIT - I assume the SSCS was post-F&E's General War time period then...

As for the PFTs with the multiple ratings: Those ships still have heavy weapons in addition to the sensors. Sincethe use of heavy weapons "blinds" your special sensors, you lose EW ability as you fire more and more heavy weapons.
To recreate this in F&E, the owning player is allowedto select from a multitude of EW/AF (Attack Factors) to represent how much of the ships combat potential is being directed towards combat and how much is being scrificed for extra EW points.

Ah, now I can grok that.....ok I only have the base 90s set of F&E - I've either missed it totally in the base set, or its in an expansion or an updated version of the game - Im not terribly au fait with F&E as I've only played it about 2 or 3 times in 20 odd years and even then not for a lot of time.....

Thanks for the explanations....

I've also found these incredibly useful.

Indeed - I've pulled up some experimental rules and stats for PFs that I may try out on my players based on these things.

There's some tweaks needed and Im trying to keep it all as simple as possible - so I need to find out if rules Ive added are redundant, or useful - or simple enough. A balance of flexibility on what PFs can do in the SFU vs restricting that freedom for ease of use.....
