http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l1. As to MT
missles dying 50% to Anti-air defences is like sayin lets use a 50
caliber machine gun to kill a inbound Scud. Ain't a real set of odds.
The MT missles were smart and bigger than a fiter.
2. They use fighter kill rolls on salvo verses whats in the book.

They wouldn't have been quite so much so if you had used the actual FB1
rules for them instead of the MT rules...

You're using pre-FB1 systems again. The FT2 PDAF could not damage ships;
the FB1 PDS OTOH *can* do so. Not as well as a beam battery, but
still...

Using house rules is fine, of course - but please be aware that you
*are* using house rules. Stating things like "the reality is that system
X works like THIS" when you are in fact talking about your group's house
rules easily leads to misunderstandings, since that "reality" doesn't
apply to anyone using other rules (like eg. the published ones).

That's interesting, for the only SM modification I've seen described by
more than one group is to allow PD overkills to count against the next
incoming salvo instead of being wasted - but that makes the SMs
*weaker*, not stronger... What modification are you thinking of here,
that makes the *SMs* stronger?
