RE: DS construction questions

Greetings!

1) I always assumed that GMS launchers were a special case like ASPWs;
that is you do not have to pay for a turret. Reasoning: Being a guided
weapon, a turret is unnecessary as it will guide itself to the target
whichever way it was initially pointed. So, putting it is a turret gains
no game benifit. I know the text mentions vertical launch versions of
GMS. 
GMS seem to be a special case all arround. If you make a GMS/L a size 2
weapon, then it draws too many chits (3 instead of 2). It also ignores
the size of the target, but has to deal with ECM/PDS. Seems to be a
special case all arround.

2) I would assume that the 8 points for the C&C was 4 points for
equipment and 4 points for personnel.

Subject: DS construction questions

G'day all
Delurking for a bit,

I've got two questions about vehicle construction after rereading the
rules.

1. Is the cost for GmsL and GmsH   (2 and 4 cap respectively) on pg 16
for fixed mounting only or is it the same cost if I mount them in a
turret? According to the description on pg9 these are size 1 and 2
weapons and should cost 3 and 6 capacity pts  if mounted on a turret.

2. Does the Command/Communications Systems (cap8) include space for the
command team  like weapon/artillery systems which are assumed to have
space for the crew/gunners or do I have to spend  4capacity pts for the
command team and assume the Command/comm system only has space for the
comms/computer operators and equipment.

The construction system does need a bit of a facelift.

Thanks
Marc
