That was my first question. Viable as in, "the game will work" or viable
as
in, "FT ships could fight FB ships and have a chance of winning"?

I think there are enough differences that I wouldn't want to play a game
with
one side use FT ships and rules and the other side using FB1/2 ships and
rules. Mind you, some feel that FB ships would be at an advantage. It
would be
interesting to see what the old FT fire arcs would do compared to
weapons with
FB fire arcs. That rear arc is a problem, but weapons with a single
front arc
get an extra 15 degrees of arc. And I wonder if old FT ships might not
have
some advantageous cost imbalances, including the artificial ship class
min-maxing that could happen.

If, however, the idea is to use ships with only FT weapons but using FB
rules,
I suspect if the ships are designed with the FB design system they are
viable.

Merry Christmas, Jon, Paul, and everyone else on the list!

But wasn't the proper New Millenium back in '97? I understand that the
Gregorian monk that pegged the birth of Christ at year A.D. 1 was found
-- by
archaeological evidence -- to be late by between 3 and 5 years... *grin*

SG2 doesn't have capacity points for artillery. The vehicle design rules
cover
only direct fire weapons and missile systems.

EW equipment in SG2 doesn't cost anything in capacity points, either.
You set
an ECM level; none costs as much as superior. 

If you want a more detailed design system, I suggest you use DS2. It
covers
capacity points for all these. One thing I'd like to see in Bugs Don't
Surf is
an integrated SG2 and DS2 vehicle design system.

EW and ECM are different systems. I was asking about EW, which only has
one level and has to be specifically designated to individual
infantrymen or vehicles.

Hey, always steal from the best. And it's hard to beat Stalinist 
Russia for Pure Evil.

I the three worst as follows:

Stalin for the worst overall numbers

Hitler for widespread and deliberate evil,  you could attribute him 
all of the European deaths

Pol Pot for highest per capita numbers

These men were the modern barbarians.

I give the Japanese an honorable mention, they were a medieval 
holdover. Although from their perspective most of the trouble they 
caused made perfect sense under their historic values. They just 
needed to be kicked into the 20th century.

"Factoring the Prime Directive" is a perfect description for the

Actually, EW does have multiple levels: Basic (d6), Enhanced (d8) and
Superior
(d10). Stargrunt 2 rulebook, page 52, bottom of the first column. And it
doesn't cost capacity points.

And I did make a mistake stating "You set an ECM level" in my original
post. I
actually meant EW. 

ECM and EW are different. But like ECM, no capacity points are given for
EW
systems. They appear to be free in SG2. Since an EW team can be as small
as
one person, and that one person isn't considered to be encumbered (at
least,
he isn't stated to be in the rule book), the implication is that EW
systems
are small. 

Again, though, I think this is different in DS2 (but it's been ages
since I
built DS2 vehicles, so don't quote me...).

If you are thinking along the lines of AF munitions/rounds for SML`s,
you
have to compair them to scattergun packs (which are the nearest weapon I
can
think of for a ammo limited AF/PDS style weapon system). A scattergun
has 6
arc fire, doesn`t require a firecon, kills 1D6 fighters & has a range of
6
MU with ADF abbilities at no extra mass/cost penalties. A SML AF round
would
have limited arcs, and require a minimum mass of 4 (3 for launcher &1
for
round). I would give it the same kill/PDS roll as a scattergun, with a
12 MU
range, and can engage any fighters within 4 MU, and fighters have no
chance
to use secondary movement to avoid. Does this sound reasonable to anyone
out
there?
