RE: [GZG] Threshold checks - how I do them



Silent Death did this with w (target chooses weapon lost), W (firer
shooses weapon lost), -X (lose X thrust), t (target chooses
torpedo/expendable ordnance lost), T (firer chooses expendable ordnance
lost), and * (roll for critical hit).  It was highly playable, but
demanded larger boxes in the damage track.


Yes, it's quite a nice system, the only thing I don't like about it is that you know that at a certain fixed point on a given ship's damage track you ARE going to take a specific type of critical damage (eg: to the drives).... which is why I suggested a roll to see what group of systems you hit each time you reach a "C" box. You know that SOMETHING is likely to go "phut" at that point, but not what.
