Re: All this talk of p-torps n stuff...(IJN tweaks)

You want long range hitting power? Want it heavy damage or force
threshold checks? Try Uncle Abibe's MT MIssles. Launch at 60 MUs and hit
at 36 MUs. Seven hull hits with explosive war head and needle beam
options availible too.	 ;-)

all the IJN stats I have (using the PDF i got last
year or the year previous taht got onto
star-ranger.com (IIRC). 

Looking at the stats (And having played the IJN _many
times_ against mixed fleets, but my nemesis being the
NSL), I've decided that having close in weapons is
useless: the hulls are all so relatively weak that by
the time battle is engaged in earnest I cannot sustain
fire nor damage.

Of course, I haven't been using fighters wisely,
either, but thats another story. I should note that
once the threat of fighters was raised, my main
opponent modded some strikeboats into PDS/AFDC
platforms _just_ to mitigate that threat. :-/

so: given that the hulls are light, the drives are
biggish and the weapons many, i stripped all SMs,
submunitions packs and replaced them with available
PTs, filling in on odd #s with the occasional 1-beam
or trading an existing 1-beam into a 2-beam with the
change i had left. Only one ship had a hull block
added to keep the numbers straight, IIRC.

If anyone has any interest, I'll post the designs as
set. 

if any of the playetesters from that neck of the woods
has any interest in comment or feedback, I'd really
love to hear it.
