Re: FT-Fighters and launch bays

This brings up something I've been playing with, specifically in a B5
setting where most weapons are able to fire on fighters as well as
ships. It comes out of trying to re-convert B5W to FT. Since most B5W
ships don't have a dedicated fighter defense weapon I was thinking of
allowing all pulse-type weapons to fire as PDS with 1 die and rolling as
normal PDS but subtracting the class of the weapon from the damage done.
This way if you really wanted to use class 4 weapons you could but would
have to roll a 6, reroll a 6, and then roll 4 or better to do any
damage.

It is caffeine alone that sets my mind in motion.
It is through the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
     that hands acquire shakes,
     that shakes become a warning.
It is caffeine alone that lets me roll the dice.
