Bad, very bad.

Right now average damage for a torpedo fighter is 3.5, roll a
d6 once.

The way you want to do it you are bringing in bell curves.

You roll two dice the most common roll is going to be
a 7 (6 out of 36) for a damage of 1.  1 in 6 is going to
be 1 point damage, sounds the same so far, however...

You chance of doing 6 points damage is 1 in 36 as apposed
to the original 1 in 6.  As a matter of fact you have a
15 in 36 or roughly a 42% chance of no damage.	It's not
worth the struggle to get those fighters in to have 42% of
their shots go ping.
