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

Ship to Ship Combat

Ships

Guided Missiles: Unlimited range, limited ammo (most imperial ships carry three reloads)
Anti-Ship Lasers: Primary anti-ship weapon. Unlimited ammo, range 7, these are bendy beams.
Anti-Air: Shoots down fighters/bombers/AWACs, Missiles
Antimatter Cannon: Fires bolts of suspended Anti-Matter, range 1-3, destroys both armor and hp on the same damage roll on unshielded hulls
Lancers: High power lasers that have range 0-1, ignores shields, murderously effective in destroying armor.
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

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.
GM attack is Attack Value(AV)-(AA value)
Lasers attack AV-(ECM)
Each hit reduces the shield by one
Requires 2 success to destroy a single piece of armor

ECM degradation

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

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 the shields: Restore shield power fully, half restored right away, and full start of next turn (minus any new damage on it while its being rebubbled)
Rabbit out engage warp drive to escape on next turn (free action)
