I (as usual) agree that simple is better.

Why not 20 MASS blocks. This would partially mirror the human ship
crewing
concept, and produce a few fewer damage lines. In fact, that way they
would
have one repair/DC/growth for each row of damage not knocked out !!

How about partial random power; an assurred amount plus a random factor?

With MASS 20 rows, I'd make it one per.

I like it.

Subject to the same PDS restrictions as humans, yes (?)

>*Screens (4 points per level)

This sounds low.

>*FTL (1 point per original # or rows)

This also sounds low.

>*Regenerate (2 points per box repaired)
>etc

Ditto here.

I like the simplicity. I like where this is going.
