RE: Fire Control lock-on (was: Re: [FT] squadron suggestions)

Throwing my 2 cents into the fray.

I would be very much for the extra rules and rolls to be able to model
ECM
and stealth in a nice gracefull manner.

I like the idea of making the rules optional to the point that 2 ships
in
range of their primary weapons would have a 100% chance of lock on with
each
other unless they do something specificly to avoid that.  2 heavy
cruisers
looking to tangle should have no problem finding each other.  But if one
of
those has a dedicated ECM frigate helping out and running evasive
manuevers
there would be some play.

This also lets you put in an easy mechanism to hide ship size, type,
bogies,
etc... without making it a special case rule.

IMHO it would be worth the effort to add a whole lot of options and
flexibility to the game play.
