Second Heavy Combat Test: KCA IKS Etlh (A) vs FCA USS Constitution (B) + Dev Notes

Another lesson learned in heavy combat, another bad day for the Klingon :(


Dev notes at the end, including revised photon, plasma and phaser rules, and adding rules for micro-torps.

Klingon CA IKS Etlh disabled. Federation CA USS Constitution disengages



Obviously the weapon power needs to be dialled down. Here are revisions to the photon and phaser rules that may help:



Beam Disruptor/Phaser Rules:

Phasers and Beam Disruptors are omnidirectional.

Max range is 10 (X.25)

Range 9 (X.5)

Range 8 (X.75)

Range 7 (X1)

Range 6 (X2)

Med range is 5 (X3)

Range 4 (X4)

Range 3 (X5)

Range 2 (X6)

Close range is 1 (X7)



Defensive Phaser Rules:

Phasers are omnidirectional.

Max range is 5 (X.25)

Range 4 (X.5)

Range 3 (X.75)

Range 2 (X1)

Close range is 1 (X2)



Photon Rules:

One pt required to fire photons. In all photon equipped ships, if a ship has at least two launchers, one will cover all forward arcs while the other will cover aft arcs. All photons can track to ventral or dorsal arcs. Photon Torpedoes can be launched every other turn. Separate roll for photons. Roll once for 'to hit' (at range 8-10). Roll again for damage. CA has a max of 20 torpedoes.

Range 1-3= X6 multiplier (Range 1=additional 1/4 damage to attacking ship). Always hits.

Range 4-7= X4 multiplier. Always hits.

Range 8-10= X2 multiplier. Needs 3-6 to hit.

Micro-Photon Rules:


One pt required to fire micro-photons. All photons can track to ventral or dorsal arcs. Photon Torpedoes can be launched every other turn. Separate roll for photons. Roll once for 'to hit' (at range 8-10). Roll again for damage.

Range 1-3= X3 multiplier (Range 1=additional 1/4 damage to attacking ship). Always hits.

Range 4-7= X2 multiplier. Always hits.

Range 8-10= X1 multiplier. Needs 3-6 to hit.
Packet (Klingon) Disruptor Rules:

One point required to fire disruptors. Klingon disruptors fire forward only, but can track to dorsal and ventral arcs. Disruptor Bolts can be launched every third turn. Separate roll for disruptors. Roll once for 'to hit' (at range 8-10). Roll again for damage.

Range 1-3= X6 multiplier. Always hits.

Range 4-7= X4 multiplier. Always hits.

Range 8-10= X2 multiplier. Needs 3-6 to hit.



Plasma Torpedo Rules:

Four points required to fire plasma torpedo, and 1 point per turn to maintain charge. (1 point per turn over four turns). Plasmas can track to all arcs. Plasmas always hit. Damage (based on roll at firing) according to range chart. Plasma torpedo tracks to original target, moving three spaces per turn. Every space that torpedo travels removes 1 point from initial multiplier.

Damage Multiplier:

Range 1-3= x10 (Range 1=additional 5pts damage to attacking ship).

Range 4-7= x7

Range 8-10= x5

(Note on Plasma defense: Batteries provide emergency warp power for burst of speed. Two spaces per turn. During use of emergency warp, no other actions possible. Each use of emergency warp depletes one battery.) At Range 5+, plasma's can be destroyed with ten pts damage from any weapon.



I'll run through it again because I'll need it up and running for "Fifty Points"
