How to knock down shields?

[ZzaphodD]

Please note that I use extensive house rules.

1) If you look at any posts on these forum discussing sensor ranges youll see that my sensor ranges are much longer..

2) I only made shooting missiles a +5 difficulty in flight due to the fact that they arent really evading, meaning they wont get a scale bonus to evasion even if there was a scale difference. Even when 'in combat' they arent really evading, just turning rapidly to hit an (assumingly) evading target. Hence the flat +10/+15 to difficulty. Simplicity was also a factor as these missile rules already complicated missile combat.

Edit: One thing I had in mind designing these rules were the future addition of more advanced (or less) missiles/torps. This could be faster, better skill, or evading. Whatever you like really.

Slight correction for ya Z. You get scaling diff even when not dodging (such as when surprised)
