Sounds interesting but you would have to almost write down or mark each
target system to prevent problems (I said a 4 was the FTL not the
screen,
etc)

I do suggest that someone run some games with these mechanics to compare
them.  They may seem good or bad on paper but how they work during a
game
may differ.

Well the Ion Cannons I have are used as a genre weapon so this may give
them
some allowance to be more complicated, but I put the weapon info on the
SCS
including the damage list.  When and Ion Cannon scores some hits, the
players seem to stop any side discussions and pay attention to see what
systems if any go down, knowing it can strip screens from a ship making
it a
jucy target or it could take out the fire cons so you don't have to
worry
about return fire.
