Re: [GZG] Shield Reinforcement?

I, too, am in the FT2.5 mind-frame. Here is another simple idea:

 

Hemispheric Screens

Cost: Same cost as Level 1 Screens

Use: Protects 3 adjacent arcs with Level 2 screens. The arcs protected may be shifted 1 arc facing per unused thrust point.

I like what you are thinking, but how about a simple version.

 

Each unused thrust point can be applied to either fore, port, starboard, or aft sections. This can be represented by using a small die with the number of applied points on the pertinent side of the model on the table. Those points then absorb that many damage points that turn from hits on that section.

 

Example: Kirk says 4 points to thrust and 2 points to aft shields. The ship plots as normal, but you place a die (2 pip up) directly behind the model on the table. That die is removed at the end of the turn, if no damage is applied to that section. Otherwise, it will absorb 2 aft hits.

 

I know I am thinking FT2 in a FT2.5 world, but that's how I think.

While thinking about adaptations to genre's, I couldn't recall anyone doing
a form of shield reinforcement to do Cap'n Kirk's sterling command.

I know that anything that seriously tries to do energy allocation would
cause most of us, including yours truly, to run screaming from the room,
but I suddenly thought, as often happens, of yet another way to complicate
the plotting step of a full thrust turn by suggesting plotting unspent
thrust points on numbered firing arcs.

My first thought was to suggest each point was a damage point, or
proportional to size of ship, as, bigger ship, more expensive the thrust
point. Then I wondered about buying a shield upgrade with points on the
plotted arc.

I know it doubles the complexity of firing by noting both firing ship and
target's arcs. Anthing that might come out of this would have to be DEEPLY
optional.

Has this ever been tried before?
