http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI have notice that
one "weapon" that has proved lethal in various games (both FT and
FTJava) but isn't in the rules as such is a "FTL missile". I'm sure
many of us have suffered the humiliation of FTL'ing a damaged vessel
from the middle of our fleet to find out that it was an unwise idea.
Obviously there would need to be changes to the FTL rules to make it an
efficient weapon (one turn to charge, mobility whilst charging, etc) but
FTL can be used as a lethal weapon at present especially if you are
outnumbered in a close quarters battle against a light force. IF ships
can be devastated with this tactic.
What would the variations be for this weapon though. Would it be a
"fighter", Missile or small ship?
