Sa'Vasku stuff

@:) Some friends and I have been experimenting with the Sa'Vasku rules.

@:) ADDITIONS:

@:) WAVE PULSE:
@:)	The Wave Pulse is the equivalent of a Sa'Vasku spinal mount
@:) weapon.
@:) 
@:) Each turn the wave is moved 4d6 inches until it runs out of
@:) energy, on a turn the firing ship rolls two or more 6's the wave
@:) is considered to have expanded all of its energy, finish its
@:) movement for that turn and remove it at the end of the turn.

  I think it might be better to allow the duration of the wave to be
proportional to the energy expended to produce it.  Even better, allow
the _size_ of the wave be proportional to the energy.

@:) BEM PULSE:
@:) 
@:) Sa'Vasku ships are able to generate a Pulse of energy
@:) Bio-ElectroMagnetic Energy capable of disrupting the systems on a
@:) targeted ship.  The effect of being struck by the Pulse is to
@:) force an immediate thresh hold check at whatever level the target
@:) ship is currently on (6 for the first line, 5-6 for the second,
@:) etc.)

  Interesting (though very very nasty).  What might fit the name of
this particular special effect somewhat better would be a weapon that
damages only the crew of a ship.  The ship would take no damage in
this case, but (for example) be prevented from moving or firing next
turn (or perhaps one or the other).  This would the Sa'Vasku a type of
weapon lacked by the other races, which would make sense since they're
so old and so weird.
