Potentially silly question...

Why not just use Starmada, and build your campaign system around it?

Sent you a PM...

Didn't we create a separate section of the forum for this sort of thing?

Various niggling problems. After I wrote the original post I came up with a different way to construct weapons--actually letting people design the base weapons instead of having listed weapons.

I'll write the rules down as I can and list what my problems are:

Turn sequence

1) Movement Orders: Write down the movement orders for the vessels under your command. Also write down missile/rocket fire, determine fighter initiative (d10, highest roll wins and may choose which side goes first) and place any weapons in Anti-Fighter Mode

2) Movement: After movement orders, show the movement orders and then alter the vector of the vessels under your command.

3) Fighter Movement/Combat: After the ships have completed their movement, fighters may move according to initiative and size (heavy--medium--light). Fighters that end up able to attack will do so. If the target is a fighter flight both sides roll on the Dogfight Table. If the target is a ship the fighter flight fires their anti-ship weapons (if any) and the ship may respond with any weapons it has placed in Anti-Fighter mode or any AFB. Resolve any damage from this round immediately

4) Ship Combat: Ships may now initiate combat. Missiles and rockets are launched now and travel their move

To-Hit: Roll a d10 and add modifiers. If the modified roll is equal to or more than the TH value of the weapon it hits.

Penetration: Roll a d10 and add the Penetration value of the weapon. The target also rolls a d10 and adds it to the armour value of the target. If the Penetration roll is more than the Armour roll, the shot penetrates.

All shots are resolved at the end of this turn

5) Damage Resolve Phase: All damage is resolved now. Roll a d10 for each damage point. Any odd numbers indicate a hull hit. In addition, on a 1-3 the armour is reduced by 1, a 4-5 sees the engines hit, a 6-8 sees the weapons hit (choose which one) and a 9-10 hits any special devices the ship has (again, choose)

This phase is one of the problems. Its an easy way to resolve damage, but is it too easy?

Is it still raining?
