Re: Ion Cannon

Following the tread on Ion Cannons, here the stats we use; They and the
rest of our home rules can be found at;
     http://www.public.usit.net/arrowjr/Jyanix.html

EMP Mines 
EMP mines are designed to 'scramble' a ship's electronics and systems
without causing structural damage. Roll 1d6 and subtract 1 for each
level
of screens the ship has in use. The final score gives results as
follows; 

1 - 2 No effect 
3 - 4 Roll for every system on the ship, as if for a threshold roll:
      systems knocked out on a roll of 5,6 
5 - 6 Same as above, but knocked out on 4,5,6 

Ion Cannon 
Ion Cannons fire a Electro-magnetic flux beam, that ionizes screens,
rendering them unusable. 

Mass: 2 Points: 4 +1 per arc Range: 24" 

Attacks, roll 1d6 and add 1 for each level of screens the ship has in
use.
The final score gives the results as listed. 

1-2 = No effect 
3-4 = Roll Threshold - 
      Level 1 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 4,5,6, 
      Level 2 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 5,6 
      Level 3 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 6
5-6 = Roll Threshold - 
      Level 1 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 3,4,5,6 
      Level 2 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 4,5,6 
      Level 3 screens - knocked out on a die roll of 5,6
 
Reflect screens = normal level 2 shields. 
No effect on Armoured hulls
