RE: RE: RE: ST designing, railgun

How about something like:

Phasers 	 -> FT Beams
Disruptors	 -> FT Pulse Torpedoes
Photon torpedoes -> FT Salvo Missiles

"Gunner! Target engines ONLY!"
Use of at least 2 FCS and 2 Mass of phasers\disruptors allow a ship to
make
a needle beam shot; if so, NO other fire is allowed that turn.	A third
FCS
adds 1 to the roll; Shield-2 subtracts 1 from the roll.

Shields:
Buy a "Shield Generator" (Mass and cost as for FT screen Generator,
level 1
or 2) 
AND 
buy shields (Mass 1, cost 2 x mass )
The shield generator does NOT work like FT shields- it is simply
necessary
to run the shields.  
Each shield generator can support up to (say) 5% of the Hull mass in
Shields.  
Shields must be split equally between shield generators.
Shields are repairable each turn, like other systems.

Shields affect ALL weapons in ST
