RE: [DS] No Capacity was: Points system (fresh)

G'day,

Why? If you're trying to hide a soddingly huge tank with some device
(that
may well go belly up mid battle if hit with an exceptional shot) why
shouldn't that be part of the design system?

The current damage system does a good job of representing it, though I
do
think the frequency could be dropped a bit and the backup systems
procedure
tweaked a bit.

Assuming you have to go to that level of detail and its not just covered
in
a more abstract way by "systems down" etc effects.

I like the idea that sometimes tech will unintentionally work against
you
(e.g. the odd systems down). On the other hand when commanding that many
tanks/men etc I don't want to have to worry about whether it was the
left or
right rear blinker that just fell off the 23rd tank from the rear on the
left flank ;)
