Re: looking for Modular Fighters?

Hi DOC Agren from a fellow Digest lurker.

Thomas had replied with the link to Jared Noble's page with his Modular 
Fighter Rules. I was just going to note that they are pre-fleetbook.

We started with the info on this link and made a few adjustments for 
fleetbook fighters.

In the Propulsion section we lowered the cost for Fast and Long-Range 
Modules from 3 to 2. FB Fast and LR fighters are cheaper than in FT2.
We also lowered the cost for Fast/LR from 6 to 5.

In the Anti-Ship section we increased the cost of Attack and Torpedo by 
1 each. His cost for them is low on this link page. These fighters cost 
did not change for the fleetbooks.

The only change to the Efficiency ratings was for Limited Anti-Fighter. 
We gave it an Eff = 1, and made "None" AF an Eff = 0, Cost = 0. This was

to conform to our house rule of Fighter Eff more that 5 to be invalid, 
but no one built fighters that could not defend themselves.

We allow Fast/LR fighters which we refer to as Recon/Patrol. They use 
Standard frame, Fast/LR engines, "None" Anti-ship, and Standard 
Anti-fighter; these are "legal" for us Costing 6 per with Eff of 5.

The last addition we made was to add a Medium frame with Cost 1 and Eff 
1. With the Heavy Frame having a defence against beams equal to level-2 
screens in the Beta fighter rules; we made the Medium frame to be as 
level-1 screens against beams. This will only come in effect if the die 
is not DRM'd by a minus, as this makes the 4 a no hit already. But if 
the beam die is unmodified or plus DRM'd then the extra cost (4 each 
fighter) is a little protection. This modify is for BD's only, we do not

modify Scatterguns Anti-fighter, if you want to protect from them then 
you must pay the full price for Heavy fighters.
