Topic: Just a quick playaround...

Given that one of the possibilities that suggested itself to me with the introduction of customised range bands was plasma torch-style weaponry, I fired up the Drydock. A few designs later, you have the Brimlithians. Suggestions they're in any way similar to another plasma-utilising faction I designed in 2018 is completely untrue...:D

Re: Just a quick playaround...

An idea that popped into my head. This is just one aspect of what might be my first supplement. These ships are seeker-heavy with no LR anti-ship batteries. The primary concept I was addressing is using seekers as drones with four shots for each mount. The actual supplement idea (in the very early stages) will have these sorts of batteries as augments for a ship's direct-fire capabilities.

One thing: for the time being, I love the customised range bands. Instead of having to add Guided and, if necessary, Carronade, I just give the range I want for the weapon.
