Re: Cop out...

Well, since I'm the one who tossed some of those ideas, I might as well
be a 
man about it and do some math... (ARGH! I HATE Math!)

Currently, an RFAC costs 5x its class. That means an RFAC 2 is 10
points. If 
it's the largest weapon on the vehicle (Like on a Bradley type vehicle),
and 
the Fire Control is Superior, add another 12 points. APSW's cost 4
points 
each. The rules I proposed would make RFAC 2's much more powerful, but
RFAC 
1's would only really benefit a very close ranges.  My suggestion is to
cost 
them the same as HVC's.  It's difficult to compare the two weapons,
since 
their classes don't overlap. However, vs vehicles they have similar
damage 
validities, and while  RFAC's would now be more powerful vs infantry,
they 
are still outranged by the heavier HVC's.

Therefore, let's try this: if you use the house rules I suggested for 
increased deadliness of RFAC's vs infantry in DS II, the RFAC's should
cost 
8 x class of the weapon.

What would some of the enhanced abilities for RFACs in DS2 being tossed
mean? I assume they'd mean that the DS2 point costs for RFACs would need
adjusted somewhat. I figured someone might have some ideas here....
