G'day,

Yep I like that one too!

I think 3 or so was about the number of hits that had been mentioned
which 
isn't a problem, just roll 3 dice. If more than one happens to be the
value 
then roll for that system twice or whatever (assuming the first etc
rolls 
aren't enough). Occasionally you'll get wasted hits as the first one is 
effective but if the SG/DS players can put up with this then I think the
FT 
players can too ;)

The only time that would be a problem I guess would be if a ship fired a

lot of them simultaneously and the players wanted to pick different sets
of 
systems each time. What to do in that situation probably requires some 
strong handed wording of the rules or a little more thought.

Best idea yet!
