I like where this is going, though I also think the HEL should prolly be
boosted up to D6.

Also, another thought, instead of rolling one die and multiplying it by
the size of the weapon, why not roll X number of die where 'X' is the
size of the weapon?

And if you complain about the potential large number of dice that will
be rolled, bear in mind how many die get rolled in any good volley of
weapons fire in an average FT game.  :-)

As for special things such as 'systems down', 'immobilized', 'BOOM',
etc,
you could easily roll a seperate die (d20??) along with the rest of the
mess, and cross-correlate the results there to a short table. I *really*
don't see that as being a problem.
