So let me add something here.

In a game I ran last week, a Z95 pilot fired a concussion missile (using standard RAW) at a capital ship. The cap ship had 4D hull and 3D shields.

Are there any RAW rules for common missile countermeasures like flares, chaff, etc?

So, I am running D6 Star Wars again after a number of years of Pathfinder, and I came up against a situation that has bugged me about Pathfinder too.

Hey guys,

Right now I'm running a D&D 3.5 game, but I figured some of the best game masters I know hang out here, and my question is pretty universal, applying to all RPGs, so why not ask you ...

I never really understood why this ship was supposed to break the mold so much... one would think there's a minimum size for the power plants needed to run all those weapons, and that it would be bigg ...

If they're all imprinted with nanochips, aren't they traceable? Maybe I'm not understanding you. I suppose they're less traceable than the electronic accounts but I'd think that's still too much evide ...
