[ft] Revised Viggen Spinal Mount

When I received Digest 2190, this came all scrambled.	So I'm resending
it, 
so I can get feedback from.   So sorry if anyone received this twice in 
readable form.

Scramasax Defense Industries would like to roll out their newest
preposed 
weapon system the Viggen (or Thunderbolt) Particle Beam Spinal Mount. 
The weapon 
has a long range heavy hitting capability, but because the way the
charge 
beam fires shields seem to downgrade the weapon when it hits a ship with
them on 
it.  System can withstand a solid hit and still keep up firing, however
in a 
limited role.

Note, SDI would like to point out that an earlier leaked model of the
Viggen 
Heavy Beam, represented a “prototype” wish list that never was
built.

Viggen (Thunderbolt) Spinal Mount
Mass: 16    Point: 48
    Limited to Single Arc only

The Weapon uses 18mu range bands but only has 3 d6 per range band 0 to
18, 2 
d6 per range band 19 to 36, d6 per range band 37 to 54.  Hits per a
Beam 
Weapon, but does damage as follows d6-any level of shielding per hit.

Takes two threshold hits to fully take the system off line, like an
engine.
Following 1st Threshold Check failed, weapon becomes a B3 Beam, and if
the 
ship carrying this takes the threshold has not fired in the turn.  Then
the 
carrying ship takes 2d6 damage internal hit, from exploding particle
chargers.

If System takes damage then it requires a repair center to fix, ship
damage 
control parties are unable to fix the system in the field.

Have a Good One,

DOC Agren
