Master Weapons Tables

This is Steven Petrick Posting.

I have a draft of the Master Weapons Chart, it is four pages currently. I have put a copy on SVC's desk so that we can discuss it on the morrow.

Right now, it includes all of the weapons from Basic Set (Phasers, Disruptors, Photons, ADDs, Plasma Torpedoes R, S, G, and F, and . . . requested for reasons I cannot fathom, MCIDS), Advanced Missions (Maulers, Plasma Ds), Module C1 (Fusions, Hellbores, ESGs), Module C2 (Tractor-Repulsors, PPDs, Web Casters, Web Fists, Displacement Devices), Module C3 (Particle Cannons, Shield Crackers, Web Breakers), Module C4 (Axion Torpedoes, Kinetic Cannons, and Plasma-As, Wire-Guided plasmas are not conducive to having a table), Module F1 (Warp-Augmented Rail Guns, Prospecting Charges), Module F2 (Ion Torpedoes, Ion Storm Generators, no table for Ion Pulse Generators), Module J1 (RALADS), Module J2 (Plasma-K Torpedoes), Module R1o (Plasma Carronades . . . Plasma Sabots are not conducive to being made into a table), Module X1 (Advanced Photons, Advanced ESGs, Advanced Web Casters, Advanced Web Fists, Plasma-M Torpedoes, Plasma-L Torpedoes), Module Y1 (Quantum Cannons, Quantum Wave Torpedoes, Nova Cannons, Warp-Targetted Lasers, Disruptor Cannons, and Heel Nippers), Module Y2 (Plasma Blasters, Plasma Vortex Launchers, Plasma Cannons, Plasma-V Torpedoes, Hellguns), and Module P6 (Proton Torpedoes used by the Hispaniolans). I have included notes about the ranges and overload status of some weapons (Fed Fighters that have them can fire Photons to 12 hexes range, and can have them fitted with proximity fuzes, but cannot overload them or rearm them outside of a carrier, Fed Conjectural PFs can use them as ships, but cannot fire them beyond 12 hexes range. No Fighter, PF, or Interceptor can fire a phaser further than 15 hexes range. And so on).

I made a ground combat (D7.0)/(D15.0) table, and a Transporter Artillery Table, but there is not room for them. If we went to a fifth page, I could add them, but there would not be much else on the page, unless we made all of the hit-and-run raid tables against both ships, and versus various shuttles. Sounds easy, but it would be tedious, and would only fill half the page.

I will see what SVC's thoughts are.
