[FT] SML magazines

There's always been some debate as to how to handle repair rolls for the
missile loads when a salvo missile magazine fails a threshold check.

Options:
a. Roll for magzaine only; if damaged, all missiles in the magazine are
lost
b. Roll for magazine only; if damaged, magazine must be repaired, then
each missile must be repaired
c. Roll threshold for magazine and each missile.  Once magazine is
repaired, any undamaged missiles are available.
d. Roll threshold for magazine; if damaged, the magazine itself need not
be repaired but each missile must be repaired to be usable.

The FAQ has A or B.  In my opinion, neither option is suitable.  SML's
aren't much cheaper than SMR's. With the SMR's ability to launch all
loads at once, and the SML's vulnerability to thresholds, I don't see
why anyone would use SML.

  B might work if you roll thresholds as a core system (if you're
feeling nasty, you could allow for a chance of the missiles
exploding...).
  C is justifiable if you think of it as the handling gear, hatches etc
to move the missiles to the launcher.
  D is justifiable if you think of the magzaine as a hold--it's not the
hole in the bulkhead that's important, it's the damage to the contents

But it would be nice to get an [OFFICIAL] ruling on this.
