FTJ Honorverse

[Noam Izenberg <noam.izenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Brendan,

I just re-saw this and I am now increasingly interested in an HH  
conversion of FTJ. Just over the last few weeks I picked up the HH  
novels for the first time and I'm chewing through them at an  
astinishing pace (given my slow reading speed); I'm almost halfway  
through "A Short Victorious War," and would _love_ to combat sim HH  
battles. FTJava would be perfect with only a few more mods.

AMS and Energy torps aren't expendible, though, so are they modeled  
well enough by Scatterguns and Subpacs? Plus, sidewalls are 100%  
effective against energy torps, while the e-torps are utterly lethal  
at short range if the sidewalls are down.
Is rolling the wedge model-able in FTJ?

I either missed or have not yet read the difference between HH lasers  
and grasers (and FT grasers).

 From what I've read so far, each larger class of ship has 1.5 to 2  
times the raw combat power of the next smallest size - which is a  
rather larger class difference than standard FT.

Noam
