Superships....

We've built the modular superships, with rules co-opted for making 
bases.	One of the rules not taken was the transfer of damage from one 
section to another when it was destroyed.  We reasoned that bases tend
to 
be civilian in nature or that their funtions were designed for utility 
not suvivability first.  Therefore military superships should be 
compartmentalized to minimize damage transfer between sections.

Other modifications include allowing waveguns and a single nova cannon 
per section with shields being lowered only on the firing section.  This

makes superships capable of being tremendous firing platforms, capable
of 
sustaining large amounts of damage.  We've tried to limit the building
of 
such ships by making construction times twice what they would bbe for 
building an equivalent mass in cruisers.

Has anyone else played with modular superships??
