Is there a reason you couldn't just use "tough" fighters to simulate gunboats?

Its the weapon range that is the problem.  Tough is good for a very sturdy fighter (or maybe one with shields) or perhaps a very agile fighter.

I realize we are throwing a lot of stuff at you, in what is essentially a finished product that just needs a few i's dotted and t's crossed.  That's fair enough - but perhaps you can take all of this stuff as inspiration for Nova's first supplement?

I have the feeling that Starmada since its inception has never been, and will going forward, never be a finished product. Every so often Dan just provides us with the most updated version, and promptly starts the next generation.  wink

What do you expect, with a steady stream of "I Want", "If I had" and "I need". smile
Maybe if Dan said no more often there might be a breathing space. House rules abound but people will always want the rules to say that it is ok for their super destroying - ultra range - death dealing - ship melting - borg eating - stupidly large dice throwing - uber what-not to be "rules legal".
Try saying that three times in a row!

Is that Stupidly Large Dice Throwing in terms of the number of the dice, or the scale?  smile   It had never occurred to me to make a d6 out of a washing machine box until tonight...
Somehow I always feel like Dan does exactly what he always intended to do, he just bounces stuff of of the forum to make us all feel like we are part of the process  wink  Either that or he is like Dr House and he needs a "team" to get his brain in gear!

lol I meant large number for the throwing of. But I have seen BIG dice, the fluffy type would come in handy to take a rest on after throwing 50 odd of them!
