Recent comments on criticals hits jarred my memory; has anyone tried to
simulate offensive/defensive EW between ships in Full Thrust using an
FMA
style contested roll ?
For example, Babylon 5 is a setting in which EW and targetting are a
significant restriction in the Earth Mimbari War. Perhaps Earth ship
sensors
are classed as 'pathetic' (D4) while Mimbari defensive EW is 'Enhanced'
(D8).
Then the EA ship must commit its guns to targetting the Mimbari ship,
but then
must beat it in a roll off before it may roll the dice and try to damage
the
target. This would give about 19% of shots getting off. Shift Mimbari
up to
D12 and it gets right down there for odds (12 % ?).
Just an idea that's out there...
