I liked Brian's suggestions - I hadn't thought of making other systems a
bit
bigger for KV.
As to the thought they never install size 1 systems... I figured they've
just grown past it. Their smallest system is as effective as a size 2
HKP.
And they aren't limited to 4 sizes... the corrollary is that they can
deploy
an HKP 6. (Bigger than anything the humans have so far been able to
develop).
I don't know how havoc causing this would be in DS2. In SG2, all it
means is
an extra D12 of Impact.
I would agree with stealth and fast grav (same as the human fast grav...
their ships are as nimble as fast human ships insofar as I can see). I
don't
buy light armour given the strong hulls they put on their ships. Whereas
you
could (I guess from the conversation) give them 1 more hit in DS2 and
let
Boom still kill them, that's meaningless from an SG2 perspective. 1 good
hit
kills any vehicle in the SG2 system. So effectively as far of SG2 is
concerned, the only protection is armour. And we don't got no boom chits
:-)
. Whatever way we work it, the behaviour has to work in both systems.
And if we want to (assuming we do) model their ships on the ground for
their
ground forces... then we might want to make PDS harder for them to use
but
give them some sort of ground version of the shotgun. Probably single
shot
rather than the shotgun concept - based on the way that missile attacks
are
resolved in serial in DS2 and SG2. We can't simulate the shotgun because
attacks don't happen concurrently. But we could equip them with PDC that
allow them to roll some extra dice (until they run out of charges)
against
missiles and which could also be focused as a limited attack upon other
targets. This would be *like* the shotgun concept.
