Gunboats in FT...

New system: Gunboat
Mass: 2 per Gunboat
Cost: 15 per gunboat
Speed:10"

Gunboats are similar to bombers of the late 20th century. They have a 
forward firing energy cannon (as a fighter but may only attack ships 
not fighters due to it's slow recharge rate) two volleys of range 6" 
submunitions (1 submunition die each) and an anti fighter 
mount with a 360 degree arc (roll a d6, on a 6 a fighter is killed) 
The Gunboat may either fire 1 or 2 submunitions or fire it's energy 
armament. The gunner may fire his mount seperately. A squadron of 6 
gunboats firing it's submunitions (12 die) at a ship target would 
average 8 points of damage regardless of shields on the target. 
Gunboats are built for extended missions and thus have an endurance 
of6 attack rounds before needing to return to the carrier.
