Topic: Stingers vs plasma
Plasma torpedoes can only be damaged by phasers or a Tholian Web Snare. Can they be damaged by Hydran Stingers? If Hydrans are fighting a plasma race, a good tactic would be to use their Stingers to "pare down" plasma torpedoes that are targeting their capital ships. A Stinger is armed with two fusion beams (useless against plasma) and a ph-g. Therefore, they should be able to damage plasma, but not with all of their potential attack strength.
I propose the following:
When attacking a plasma torpedo, a Stinger attacks with two dice instead of four. If using the optional rule where a Stinger takes two points of damage instead of using saving throws, a damaged Stinger attacks a plasma torpedo with one die instead of three.
Thoughts?
