Re: ARRRGHHHH!!! ( Was Re: Rules for BFG/FT Conversion.)

John C, also the man, sez:

I do, by the way, like your Ramming rules.  Using the Hull strength
makes sense.  I'd still want to add some kind of Ram, to increase damage
a bit more (Too many years of Car Wars.  Gotta love those Ram Plates,
don't you?), but that might be just guilding the lily.

That was the idea I was trying to get across. Concerning the 'renewable'
quality I spoke of earlier, I just meant that the psuedo-armor value was
a
threshold that remained each turn the ship was doing ramming as long as
the
ram itself was intact, but any excess damage under the original ramming
rules became internal damage.

A small ship's ram would allow ramming other small ships with impunity,
but
make ramming a large ship something to stop and consider.

However, I've lost track of Mark's current ramming rules, so I'll hush
until I find it again.
