I only have one problem with the Class 10 Railgun in your rules. It's a
ticky little thing but might help.

First off, if the Class 10 Railgun fires such a large projectile, it
would have a limited supply of ammo. After all, that's one helluva rock!
So, I would think that a points cost for rounds, or a limit on the # or
rounds it comes with would be a appropriate. The thought of 10 points of
damage coming every other round, with an extra threshold check is quite
frightening, and does nothing to limit the power of the Kr'Vak.

The rest of the rules however, I like. I might try these rules, if I can
get my group to agree. Good work.
