Capital vs. others Debate

I just throw a different type of log on the fire and see what sparks
fly.

Presently the only effective way to combat the large capital ships with
multiple screen levels is using missiles or pulse torpedo tubes. What if
we take page from the Starfleet Wars with reguard to screens and say
they are projected out around the ships.

If this is true then you can get under the screen. This allows a double
edged sword, you could possibly provide some protection to other ships
if there close enough (friend or foe) but if you under the screen when
firing he gets no screen defense bonus.

This change could make fighters quite deadly to even the big boys if
they can get in close. These ideas are only semi-coherent ramblings with
no play testing basis, therefore I have at this point no estimate as to
the range of projection of the screen but I'll say 4".

I don't think this would work at all if you use cm to measure, just due
to the miniature sizes.
