Re: [GZG] [FT] Plotless Full Thrust game

[Gregory Wong <sax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When would you fire missile salvos under this scheme?
Do you fire them at the same time as the beam weapons?
If so, then you take out the element where you have to
anticipate your opponent's next move.  If you fire salvoes
at the same time as beam weapons, then you just point to
a target within range and within arc and fire.  It takes
away the uniqueness of salvoes.

I don't know if he was serious, but Laserlight suggested
tossing the salvoes onto the table.  This introduces
hand-eye-coordination into what should be a strategy game.
I think it would also be too unfair for my nephews.

So, any suggestions on how to handle salvoes in a plotless
FT game??
