Would it be related either to the size of the weapons (a la FireCon/LRS) or be based on the shield factor, or even be a straight-up SU cost (say, 100SUs)? The more natural thing is to go with a percentage of the weapons SUs--similar to the FireCon SU/ORat cost. It would affect non-Defensive weapons ...

An idea I had for a potential SUE Escort trait, which would make it into more of a tactical escort, and combining it with the Defensive weapon trait which, at the moment, is useful only for defending the ship itself (based upon my reading of the rules, which could be in error) Any ship equipped with...

Okay, thanks. I think I had the older rules stuck in my head--again--because I've been making sure my Dfn weapons have a decent shot of hitting by giving them 2+ ACC, Dfn and Pnp, thinking that gave a 66% chance instead of a 83% chance.

So, just to be clear:

A R-3, ACC 3+, 1/1/1 weapon with Dfn and Pnp, defensively firing at a fighter flight, would hit on a 3+, not 4+?

Version 1.02.

Re-fixed the defence satellites' CRats (or un-fixed it--the Drydock was correct and I was wrong)

Good news: after testing it, the drydock seems okay (although I only gave it a couple ships to work through). Bad news: I realised that I'm really bad at using Directional Shielding. After first miscalculating the SU requirement (by not following all the steps listed) I then, for the re-design of th...

Just checked and, although it is saying v1.02, the current Drydock is v1.03. I'll enter some of my ships through it and make sure they match my p+p designs

Thanks for the help bekosh, I'd have no idea how to 'fix' it myself...

Would you mind indicating the sheet, row/column and how you fixed these? I would like to update my Excel and OpenOffice versions, and I am concerned that I would miss an item or two while attempting to find the problems you noted. Thank you in advance!

My first supplement, done with pen+paper and then entered into the Drydock. After years of creating various titles, my imagination in that way at least has been exhausted. I had been toying with naming various VBAM campaigns I'd run after singles I have, over the years, had on my MP3 player, but I d...

Right, as I was preparing my first SUE supplement, I discovered a few problems with the Drydock. I'm sorry I didn't find these earlier: --Screens don't get the Shield tech modifier applied to them --Dual-Mode weapons: Smaller figure is being divided by 3, not 2 (was able to fix this myself) --DRat d...
