[FT] FB2 Errata

Subject: [FT] FB2 Errata

A pseudo-errata for Fleet Book 2:

Sa'Vasku Stingers. Most of us have read More Thrust and expect the
Stingers
of the FB Sa'Vasku to do more damage as you add power to it (like the
Energy
Pulse did for the MT Sa'Vasku). However, this is implied, but not
spelled
out in FB2.

Implied statements:
	"The Stinger Node is the Sa'Vasku equivalent of a standard FT
beam
weapon, except that its output is variable according to how much power
is
allocated to each shot"
	"Example 1: A Sa'Vasku ship has 6 PP available for a stinger
shot;
if it was to engage a target within 12 mu, it would get to roll 6 dice;
at
up to 24 mu, 3 dice; and up to 36 mu 1 die only"

But, excluding the examples, it only addresses the power cost of range
for a
1 die shot. It does not address the power cost for increasing damage at
a
given range.
