Re: Charles' idea regarding "EMP Damage"

This is extra record keeping, but may be adressable by marking EMP
damage
with a small circle in the damage box.

If EMP hits are scored against undamage hull, and no thresholds are
taken
until the EMP hits reach the end of a row, that could work really well. 

Say a ship has 24 hull and takes 7 EMP damage. The ship takes a
threshold
(6+) roll. Then next EMP hit continues going on the second damage roll.
When
physical damage reaches the end of the first row, the ship thresholds
(at
6+) again. If the ship's pysical damage reaches thresh 2 before the EMP
damage does, then it only takes the thresh 2 (5+) check from the
physical
damage. If, next, it gets EMP damaged past thresh 3, it takes a thresh
check
at 4+. (EMP damage starts at the first undamaged boxthat has not also
received EMP damage.

This is a very different dynamic that I think requires some thought to
balance.
