My prefered solution, which I've played with in the past, is a uniform ranging system based on the narrative. For example, if a ship were in Low Orbit, it would have a flat Difficulty to hit a target ...

Remember that weapons like turbolasers don't just evaporate at their max listed ranges they would slowly deteriorate (lower their D code) until they are gone over a large distance.
Agreed, however, w ...

I'm not quite sure how I want to use this, but WEG included this chart in the 1E Rules Companion, listing ranges in meters and kilometers for Starfighter and Cap Ship Scale weaponry. Apparently, unde ...

Nop. It was if I Minded taking my hat off. Laughing

, I can see it now, "Would you mind taking your hat off?", "Yes I would, why do you ask?", "Young man, please see me in my off ...

That's probably my fauilt. I have a very strong tendancy to take things extremely literally when I'm thinking in "technical mode". It nearly got me kicked out of college when I answered the ...

I'm not trying to be a buzz kill, I enjoy a lively debate as much as anyone. I do appreciate the brevity, though.No worries, unfortunately the things we were discussing are not easily conveyed in bre ...

Edward Teller: Edward Teller is the father of the hydrogen bomb, and knew more about any of this stuff in the '30s and '40s than either of us do now. He originally wanted to skip over the fission bomb ...

Seems to me this thread has become absolutely derailed. Can we get it back on track? Maybe this laser cannon/fission/fusion discussion can be it's own thread?

Laser Cannons:We see things differently, isn't that surprising Wink

, I see them as Lasers that are made from Plot-devicium, they don't need to conform to our Laws of Physics to work, because lets be hon ...

Yup, that is how it looks to me too. Modding in the RAW seems to be doing things like tweaking your engine to squeeze a few more horsepower out of the things, tossing on better types, installing a spo ...

A metric ton of water vapor at 1000 degrees has more energy than a gram of water at the same temperature. Mass is relevant.From your example of mass I think I now understand where your going wrong, yo ...

I assume the temperature is roughly the same, and laser cannons fire a larger bolt. I referred to the laser cannon because we don't have stats on a holdout blaster's yield.Heat is a form of energy, it ...

Actually it seems like you are saying that you sometimes do need to have engineering skills to succeed and almost always need enginerring skills to succeed without problems.Well since the RPG requires ...

Thanks for clarifying. Unsurprisingly we are in agreement as to actual practice.

In theory it makes sense to allow the creation of customized templates and to allow breaking down all skills on a pe ...
