Battle Cry

If this system prove to be fatally flawed I reserve the right to change it.

Ship to Ship Combat

Ship Formation

Determines bonus to passive defenses if your on the same tile.

For every enemy ship that fire has to pass through, the diff is raised up to TN 10

For every two friendly ships that fire has to pass through diff is raised up to 9

Combat Rules

Ship captains roll their Command Values plus ship Init value (command cruisers give bonus to all ships in the fleet)

Init is rolled again every 5 turns, if ship enters range a reaction shot of who shoots first is rolled via command

Ships move and fire or fire and move, if you want to move fire and then move again, requires a command roll.

Guided Missile attack is Attack Value(AV)-(AA value)

AA Fire you can switch your main battery of lasers to help with AA fire for your ship and adjacent ones, roll, for each roll that succeeds TN 8 it adds to your AA pool

Lasers attack AV-(ECM)

Each hit reduces the shield by one

Requires 2 success to destroy a single piece of armor

Rule Patch 1: Each time a ship is hit, the DV for hitting it with another ship increases by 1 up to a maximum of 9 (IC explanation bendy beam interfere with each other)

Rules Patch 2: For each enemy ship a weapon bolt/laser/missile has to pass through to get to its target it raises the difficulty by 1 to hit to a max of ten.

ECM degradation

ECM Takes penalty of -1@5 -2@4 -3@3 -4@2 -5@1

Stances

Ship commander can order a ship stance for single turn

Full attack: double weapons but half shield

Fire spinal cannon:

Full defense: double shields but half weapons

Rebubble: Restore shield power. Half restored right away, and the full value start of next turn (minus any new damage on it while its being rebubbled)

Stats

Guided Missiles: 15 Hex Range (can be fired unlimited if there is a ship spotting within 5 hexes of the target), limited ammo (most imperial ships carry three reloads)

Anti-Ship Lasers: Primary anti-ship weapon. Unlimited ammo, range 10, these are bendy beams.

Anti-Air: Shoots down fighters/bombers/AWACs, Missiles

Antimatter Cannon: Fires bolts of suspended Anti-Matter, range 1-5, destroys both armor and hp on the same damage roll on unshielded hulls

Fort/Heavy Cannon: Massive beam emplacements far too powerful to use beam vectoring and thus relying on mechanical aiming systems. This makes them slow to track and consequently their base to-hit number is 6 plus the target's Initiative value (to a maximum of 10). In compensation they have a range of 12 hexes, and act like lasers in all other respects.

Lances: High power lasers that have range 0-3, murderously effective in destroying armor, however base-to-hit is 8. Each unit of speed a ship moves in a turn brings the target number to hit down by one.

ECM: Electronics warfare makes it harder to hit you

Siege/Spinal cannon: 5 accuracy, 30 damage to armor/shields if hit. (Recharge 8 turns) Single shot weapon seen specialized anti-fortress ships and occasionally battleships (TN6 Dreadnoughts, 7 Battleships, 8 Cruisers)

Shields:

Armor:

HP: At 1/2 HP, you halved in efficiency in everything, similar affect at 1/4
