RE: Sa'Vasku

I have been using that same justification for my "expendable" smaller
ships.
I can't justify the loss rates if they're crewed, but since we tend
towards
larger capital ships anyway (DNs runn around 350 mass), nobody has any
problem thinking of them as beam or "scatterpack" missile pods.

I prefer the 8MU rule or limiting the range to 48MU.  Sniping with a
12MU to
18MU margin is not a sure thing.  Sniping at 60 MUs from a highly
maneverable ship is something that you could sell to an insurance
company.

Also I have been experimenting with Gun boat carriers. Carrying mass 8
speed
8 ships in by tug or cargo bay. The little boats use MKPs or
submunitions
packs.	They are probably crewless big missiles.

Well you would leave the Stingers as is in the book but set a maximum
range
of
36 inches so you would still get the potential for lots of dice at close
range
you would also have superior manouverability compared to all but the
Kravak
which would be balanced out by the fact that the enemy could now hit you
as
this seems to be the main complaint when i play against people with the
Savasku

OK I'm confused here, you want to take away their sniping (adavantage at
long range) and let the other races have an advantage at short range...
so
where exactly do the SV get a break then? Or have I misinterpreted
something here?

Thanks
