Laserball: a Full Thrust game in which the only thing blown up is the ball.

Equipment: Mylar ball, Flashlight lasers, 4mu wide goals, and Playing arena, usually circular

Objective: score goals by using your laser to push the ball.

Use FT FB2 rules for initiative, plotting, and vector movement. The players have Thrust 4 and can rotate 2 clockfaces per thrust expended. 

Each player has an inherent skill level-- +0 beam dice for a neophyte, +5BD for a pro--and a 5BD laser, reduced by 1 die per 6" range band. There's a -1BD penalty if the ball is in your FS/FP arc, a -3 if it's in your AS/AP arc, and -6 if it's in your A arc. Each hit on the ball translates to 1" thrust away from the firing player. 

If the ball hits a wall, it reflects off at the same speed it hit with. A player will also reflect off, but may roll his skill to add or subtract velocity and/or change direction. For instance, Tidus Jektson rolls well on his 4d6 skill and gets 5 hits-- he can change his reflection by up to 5" speed or 5 increments of 30 degree angle or any combination.

Alarishi variant
Three or more teams. All players contribute to a prize which is awarded to the winning team. The winning team should decide how it is going to split the prize among its members. 

Each team must decide under what conditions it will accept a new player--eg, unanimous vote, majority vote, captain's approval. A player may at any time leave his current team and petition to join another team.

Teams may form and break alliances at will. In this variant, your playing skill is helpful but your negotiation skill is key.

When the ball hits one team's goal, it counts as a point for ALL other teams. Example: Red scores on Blue; Blue then scores on Red; Green sits on the side. Red and Blue each have 1 point, and Green has 2 points.
