Re: New Full Thrust point defence rules

If you wanted to make the configuration of ships in the FT universe
fleet books make sense, you could simply allow PDS to attack each
incoming ordnance attack. Maybe without the exploding dice mechanic. 

Otherwise the fleet book ships don't make much sense unless the use of
missiles and fighters is very limited.

 My first
 reaction is that it's introduced a whole load of
 tables
 into a game that hasn't needed
 them. So regardless of whether the
 mechanics
 have the desired effect, I'm not sure I'm sold on
 the
 implementation.
