Topic: New weapon trait request

With all of this talk about weapons this and armor that, I've got a request for a new weapon trait.
I'm not sure what to call it, but its effects would be as follows:

* One die is only ever rolled
* Hits on a 1+
* The weapon totally ignores everything, with the first damaging hit causing the target to explode into a bazillion pieces.

I think that covers it.  wink

I'm not sure what the multiplier or SU cost will be, but I'm guessing they will both be fairly large.

I was thinking x1.5, but I could probably live with x2.
Jeez...
The good stuff seems to always be a bit overpriced.

Yeah. Just wait until I tell you how much it will cost if you want to roll TWO dice instead of one. smile

How about CHUCK NORRIS! or is that already taken?

PS It would have to be spelled in all caps, bold, with the exclamation point.

I don't know. x2 is kind of pedestrian. Can we have it be something involving log (base pi) of the seventh root of the hull size or something?

I don't understand this talk. The best game ever allows each player to design fleets, deploy, then to roll one die. The higher roll win and that's all.

How about i^pi?
