I agree. The problem is what form an in-game rule should take to represent that.

| I did do an ion damage variant based on somebody's brawling damage variant that made very high damaging hits do damage instead on temporary ionization. And that sounds like it ie exactly what we are talking about here. |

What kind of numbers are we talking about here?

Anything up to the sum of Maneuverbilty+HUll was temporary damage (controls Ioonied) results. Damage inflicted past that point is considered real damage, and is treated as such, except that ion damage won't destroy a ship, it will just render it dead in space.
Note that the ship must be suffering from all these Control Ionized results to get the overflow. Results that have worn off already, don't count. So it takes one ig hit, or several lesser hit withiin a short time frame to overload the ship's systems.
For instance, an X-Wing (with 3D Maneuverbilty and 4D Hull) could suffer as much as 7D ofcontrols ions results at one time, , before it would risk permanent damage. On the other hand, a TIE fighter (2D Maneuverabilty and 2D Hull) would start to fry after only 4D controls ionized results. |

Hence i went with a DOUBLE dead or more result being perm damage.. Much more likely from getting hit by a cap ship shot.

I like the idea of figuring the Hull in there somewhere. It means that it won't be easier to permanently damage a stock YT-1300 with MAN: 0D and Hull: 4D than it is to permanently damage a TIE/in MAN: 2D and Hull: 2D. |

Yup. Anmd that is precisely how Hull got into the mix. Tough but clumsy ships are a bit too vunerable to ion guns, IMO. |
