    We could modify it to do this, giving the ability to reduce armour
on
the sides and top and so saving on points. I wouldn't like to see the
ability to increase armour to more that front minus one. I'll give it
some
more thought.

probably not as fast as an RFAC, pulsed HEL or GAC).
    The Gauss Autocannon (GAC) is similar to Mass Driver Cannon (MDC) in
small calibres. The DSII rules suggest that sizes 3+ are single shot
cannons, while size 1 & 2 are all rapid fire.

>My idea of DFFG
is that it isn't a rotary or high speed cannon as it packs so much
whack into one shot. Maybe it is... ?
    It depends really on people's favourite genre as to whether it is or
not.

>Whether one allows MDCs or small DFFGs to perform this role is a
personal flavour thing. I don't think so, but I can see the
arguments. If you like it, go ahead!
    Absolutely!
