Re: Full Thrust : Electronic Warfare

	As just about everyone else has had a go here are some ideas of
mine

	Electronic Warfare Lite

	After orders are written there is an EW phase.

Sensors:
	Sensors can work in Passive mode or Active. Passive sensors have
a range
of 60" and active of 48". Passive sensors can detect ships using their
sensors and give the type of sensor at 72".

	Sensor type	Die	
	Basic		1D6
	Enhanced	2D6
	Superior	3D6

	Sensors "hit" as for standard beams. A sensor may "fire" once
for each
fire control. Each "hit" provides the following info

	Hits	Passive 	Active
	1	mass			allows firing lock
	2	+thrust rating	+accel/deccel+rewrite orders for
"firing"				       ship	       
	3	+number fire cons	+turn direction

ECM:
	Ecm systems come in 3 levels and work in the same way as
screens.
	
	Basic		acts as level 1 screen for sensor "hits"
	Enhanced	acts as level 2 screen 
	Superior	acts as level 3 screen (that dreaded bug bear of
FT)

Weasel systems:
	These always give false infomation until destroyed by threshold
tests.

	Don't have mass or costs worked out yet but any thoughts are
welcome.

	Tony.
