Re: Missile Defense for stations

I believe the the base being a stationary platform should be given a
bonus as a stable weapons platform.

*DAF systems shutdown missiles on a 4,5 or 6

All beam weapons mounted gain a additional 4 inches in each range band. 

C 0-16
B 0-16, 16-32
A 0-16, 16-32, 32-48
AA 0-22, 22-44, 44-66

Additionally all beam batteries may fire at missiles to there full range
but require a 6 to kill the target. When firing in this mode one beam
gets 1D6. Its harder to track with a bigger beam as the range shortens
(AA batteries can't burn out).

Pulse torps gain an additional 2 inches in each range band.
PT 0-8, 8-16, 16-24, 24-32

Using these minor changes to the base rules the stationary base now has
at least the ability to defend itself against missile swarm attacks.
These changes also make the military base with none-FLT ship support no
push over for a conventional attack group.

So is this to far over the edge?
