Movement

Turning Availble: Double thrust minus thrust plotted

Rolling Wedge: d6 roll: 1-5 No Damage, 6 Wedge acts as another layer of screens

Full Military Power: 3 on 3d6 means you're Jam. Add one to thrust values, plus two for escort class vessels.

Weapons

Basic To-Hit Roll: d6 (d6 div 2, round down)

1 : Miss
2,3 : One Hit
4,5 : Two Hits
6: Three Hits

MAGAZINES FOR MISSILES: MISSILE BATTERIES:

Type: A-Large Salvoes: 16 Type: A Large Range: 44" Dam. Bonus: +2
Type: A-Small Salvoes: 8 Type: A Small Range: 44" Dam. Bonus: +2
Type: B-Large Salvoes: 16 Type: B Large Range: 40" Dam. Bonus: +1
Type: B-Small Salvoes: 8 Type: B Small Range: 40" Dam. Bonus: +1
Type: C-Large Salvoes: 16 Type: C Range: 36" Dam. Bonus: 0
Type: C-Small Salvoes: 8 Each hit does 1d6 damage
Large battery uses one salvo every time fired. Small battery uses half salvo every time fired. When in rapid fire, double usage rates.
GRASER BATTERIES LASER BATTERIES
Type: A Range: 12" Bonus: +7 Type: A Range: 8" Bonus: +3
Type: B Range: 10" Bonus: +5 Type: B Range: 6" Bonus: +2
Type: C Range: 8" Bonus: +3 Type: C Range: 4" Bonus: +1
Each hit does 1d6+1 minus range Each hit does 1d6/2+1 minus (range / 2 )
Missiles and Laser/Graser Batteries use the 'Penetrating Armor' rule: on a damage roll of six, another die roll is made, and the appropriate damage bonus added. This second hit, halved (round down) applies to interal systems.
Disregard if no armour left.
