I have been reading your site, and the alterations to the HH rules. I
have a
few querries-
1-Pod launcher system is same mass as equivalent missile launcher size,
but
gets 6 arc fire? Y/N
2-Do the ER missiles (as used by minne) mass any greater than normal
loads?
Y/N
3-For the pod system, is a firecon required for each pod launcher, even
if
fired at the same target? Y/N (is one disadvantage I could see to pods).
4-Do the deployed pods have to be fired on the turn of deployment, or
can
several turns of deployed pods be set to delayed fire, making a massive
salvo to overwhelm the targets PDS posible (within the FCon limits
question
set above)? Y/N
5-What about decoys (or did I miss them)? Y/N

I am asking these questions because the answer would lead to being able
to
design a harrington class SDP, consisting of a pod laying system (6x
salvo
12 ER pods), a minimum broadside weapons, and a lot of
countermissiles/ecm
and ADFCons to represent the goast rider systems.

Just some questions, not critisisms.
