Re: [GZG] More advanced screens [TOBECLASSIFIED] [SEC=PERSONAL]

Simplifying it down a bit (and make it easier for crossover games as
well):

Ship Design: Merchant ships have 10% mass of hull & 4 rows, warships
have 15% mass of hull & 3 rows.
Langston Field = Phalon layered armour; max armour in each row cannot
exceed the longest hull row.
Each Screen Generator lets you "repair" 1 armour box per turn;
additional armour can be repaired using DCP. (Option: Screens also act
as normal, but cost an extra +2 points per mass).  If a ship does not
repair at least one armour box per turn, it instead takes 1 hull damage
for every point of armour damage each turn (due to overload)

Weapon damage is as per normal FT rules (including penetrating weapons
etc).
