 3 vents x 2 systems = 6 vents, which means you don't have to worry very
much about missing your roll.  Don't know about you, but most battles
I'm in only last a few turns.

proposed method too complex

[Charles] One obvious potential abuse would be Generation Bolt 'torpedo
boats' small ships just carrying drives, firecon, and a single Gen-Bolt.

an ash-Shaulah strike boat would be about perfect.  If you hit one, it
goes *pop* anyway, so who cares if the Gbolt makes it a slightly more
spectacular explosion?
