My Attempt at Simple EW/Sensors

OK, I think that Brian was on the right track.

His assumptions:
1) Affects combat
2) Quick and easy
3) Stick with FT d6 system

Those work for me!

Electronics Systems

To ensure that redesign of existing ships is NOT necessary, we'll give
ALL
ships a Class 0 system with the hull.

Class 0 Electronics - Included with Hull
Class 1 Electronics - Mass 1
Class 2 Electronics - Mass 3
Class 3 Electronics - Mass 9
Class 4 Electronics - Mass 27...
Point Cost is Total Mass x 5

The Class 0 system will be inherent to all ships, so it should give the
same info that we get now:

Range (Info):	24"	48"	72"	96"	120"
Class 0 Passive All	Size	Bogey	None	None
Class 0 Active	All	All	Size	Bogey	None

Ships using Active detect AND are detected at the listed ranges.

Ships using active mode roll a number of dice equal to their sensor
class.
These dice are scored just like beam weapons, including re-rolls on a
natural 6. The "Hits" are then spent:

1 Hit - Increase/Decrease effective firing range by 6", OR
increase/decrease effective sensor range by 24", OR falsify Size
information by 1 size class*
2-3 Hits - Increase/Decrease effective firing range by 6" and treat as
+/-1
level screens (2 max), OR increase/decrease effective sensor range by
48",
OR falsify Size information by 2 size classes*
4+ Hits - Increase/Decrease effective firing range by 12" and treat as
+/-1
level screens (2 max), OR increase/decrease effective sensor range by
96",
OR falsify Size information by 3 size classes*

*Reported size class may only be altered for the ship mounting the
electronics system.

There. Simple. Comments?
