FT:AFSML`s (for D Griffin)

AFHAWKS, AFSML`s, whatever you call them (I use the former), I think we
have
enough discution for a concesus to be reached (or is it`s the end of the
week, so due to be wraped up?). Still, one thing needs to be considered.

STATS

AFHAWKS (AFSML)
Fired from SML launcher
Each round has a mass of 1 (cost x3)
Same intercept rolls as a SV interceptor pod (and KV scattergun?, no
book
handy)
Range=Do we go for 6 mu and 6 arc or 9 mu and only the 3 arcs covered by
the
launcher (due to someone saying the area is roughly the same for both)
Requires the use of a firecon to fire, even though the firecon can have
been
used earlier that turn. Can only be fired by a sml launcher that has not
fired this turn, and is fired in the pds phase.

Do we agree, or not. If so, what range do we use (I prefere 9 mu).

PS-Next week, do we want to consider another non-ship weapon. Thinking
of
the targeting beacon round for sml`s (just a idea).

Of course, you can have either, or both (the limited arc would be a long
range version, just to keep your enemy guessing <G>). Of course, there
is
also the question of AFSMR racks (3 mass?).

Also, a bansai jammer is a way to defeate sml`s by using a minimum mass
ship
(3 mass if ftl capable, thrust 6) that works against them only
targetting
the nearest ship within 6 mu (you fly them close to your ships, and use
them
as a missile sponge).
