Re: Was Support Weapons in SGII now DSII

Again, there ARE several advantages to using SAVR's as WELL as GMS/L's 
(Definitely not INSTEAD of, but alongside, or in particular situations):
1) They're cheap, so you can field more of them. This is especially
useful 
if you're running a low-budget force.

2) They can't be spoofed by ECM, and their flight distance/time is too
short 
to be a target for ADS'. Granted, I did suggest a house rule to make
PDS' 
somewhat effective vs. IAVR's and SAVR's.  But it's still a definite
help.

3) They are quite useful in urban settings or anywhere where the enemy
is 
using his armor and infantry in very close proximity to one another.
This 
means his APFC's will be shut down. So while his ECM is still doing it's

best to stop your GMS/L's, your SAVR's will actually enjoy an increase
in 
effectiveness.

4) They do enjoy some limited usefulness vs. Infantry, as opposed to 
GMS/L's.

5) It's plausible to allow (for a minor increase in points, sy 5 or so) 
Powered Armor rifle elements to carry them instead of just IAVR's.

Other than that, I concur: throw a guidance pack on it and
use a GMS/L.
