RE: Drifting to DSII (was Re: New Fighter Types (drifting OT....))

Yeah - the stats are hiding somewhere - Mk V.  Essentially 6-module 
vehicle, 2xclass 7 mods, 4xclass 4s.  2x DFFG/5, 6xMDC/4, 16xAPSW, 
6xmodified class-4 artillery rocket (one shot, nuke warhead)..	It was
fast 
tracked, max armored.  We didn't use the 'One BOOMed module destroys 
vehicle' rule - modular vehicles then die very rapidly.  We also had
some 
rules about limitations of differences between weapon & armor classes to

achieve BOOMs.	The OGREs were horrifying - lots of firecon, nukes, and
a 
fearless AI.  More often than not, it was the AIs lack of morale that
won 
the battle.  Few forces can mentally withstand being nuked 6 times, even
if 
their force losses were minimal.

Speaking of which, anyone translated Ogres into DSII?
