Subtracting the scale difference is much simpler than a cap. Have you tried out this variant? |
Once or twice, I think. For obvious reasons I try not to have toomuch of a scale difference in the combats, but it has worked out well for starfighter vs. captail ships.
I also used the vital strike:-2D skill for +1D damage idea from the rules upgrade. It makes it impractical (but possible) to damage a big ship with a starfighter's lasers, and encourages fighters to use massed misile weapons against big ships.
So far, so good.
When you have the chance try a little T-47 vs. AT-AT fight with this variant. 6D body vs 3D damnage is much tougher than 8D vs. 5D. |

True it does.. and it also helps out making it easier to add up the dice.. less to worry about adding!
