Hi folks,

I'm new to Starmada, and it is a real breath of fresh air after SFB (especially the construction system)!

I've noticed a lot of useful house rule discussion on this forum and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to modify the interaction between IMP and DAM?

As I understand the rules you can inflict damage for every successful IMP die. Does this mean that a weapon with IMP 3, DAM 1 will perform in a similar way to IMP 1, DAM 3 over a long enough period?

Is there a simple way of limiting a weapon to 1x DAM rating for damage but still varying the ability to penetrate shields with IMP?

At the moment I am just designing weapons with IMP 1 and piercing/non piercing to do this, but I would be grateful if anyone has any game mechanic suggestions or comments?
