I haven't thought about it. The system as it is is pretty fast paced.
You
can do a reasonably sized fleet action in 3 hours, which is what I like
about it. I'd hate to slow it down with die mods.

That having been said, you might be better off using d12s. A d12 is
simple
to convert from a d6 (just double the numbers and round; a "6" to hit on
a
d6 becomes an "11" or "12" to hit on a d12) and you still have room to
add
die mods.
