RE: [GZG] Threshold checks - how I do them

If it's to be 'crits' in the damage track, then I prefer a system to
randomize the ship's systems hit rather than either player choosing.

Maybe 6 or 12 C's and all systems have to be placed somewhere in a table
of 6-12 entries.  (No, the table of twelve wouldn't be 2D6, though a 2D6
system would let you put core systems at 2,3,11 and 12)
