Quibbles:
stealth hull section, "fighters bust" rather than "fighters
must".
"raking" fire--I think of that as "bow rake or stern rake" but I
think you're thinking of the Traveler distinction between Beam
laser and Pulse laser--the former does less damage but is more
likely to hit.
The systems I would most like to playtest in PBeMs include:
>
>Stealth Hull
>Redlined Engines
>Evasive Maneuvers-
but I'd change it--"each 1 thrust expended in evasive
maneuvering inceases efective range to firing ship by 6mu--no
effect on missiles--no effect on own weapons (your computer
knows where you are)."
