Well, the simple way to do it is "2xThrust= die type" but that
shortchanges the KV's advanced drive, so I had to split turning from
total thrust.  I made it 1/2 thrust because turn-1 is more important
(IMHO) than thrust-1

Ah, good idea.

that last one is a 12" instead of the 6" of all the others.  I'd be
happier with 30-36 = d12+1 (or d14, if you're afflicted with a mania
for bizarre dice) .

screen really should be an upshift to range, though, shouldn't it?  Or
better, a downshift to the Beam impact roll.

And this way you don't have to go through the add, subtract, divide to
determine damage, which is good.  Good input.
