Jon, must have heard you Dean, my Battlecruiser paid the price for those
re-rolls Friday night. In the BC duel Jon managed to do 22 points of
beam battery damage to the Basilisk with an 18 die attack (I even had
one operational screen when he fired). My BC expanded in a debris field
as this was the exact amount of damage required to destroy the ship,
though Jon was also destroyed that same turn by fire from other nearby
BC's. It was a good fight, and I had a great time in Jon's duel.
Also for the record, Indy was in command of two Narn missile frigates in
my scenario "Kill the Bin'Tak" Saturday night. We all know Indy's record
when firing Pulse Torpedo's, well as a Narn firing Ion Torpedo's he must
have had a telepathic link to War Leader W'Kan. Indy fired 16 Ion torps
and hit with 10. Therefore, I think the 'Indy curse' is not related
directly to torpedo weapons, only pulse torpedos.
While playing in Indy's Starfleet Wars background scenario Sunday
morning, I proved one thing for myself. I need to shoot larger missile
salvos if I want to cause any damage to enemy ships. My Entomalian
cruiser fired both of it's salvo missiles in one turn which resulted in
attacks on both a Aquarian cruiser and battlecruiser. The Aquarian ships
received no damage from the attacks, as the single missile fired at both
ships was destroyed by the PDS.
