Slosh the extra arming energy to a hold cost and you're good. :)

Don't know how you could write it, but I have a perfect scenario for these guys. In WWII, the Brits employed a group of their best little mini-subs (called X Crafts) to a Norwegian fjord in order to sink the Bismark sister ship Tirpitz. Two of the subs actually made it, and planted charges on the bottom of the ship. They were shot up and the crew captured, but the Tirpitz was seriously damaged, so much that it couldn't be moved. Now, how about a similar scenario with a group of these ships trying to get in x amount of damage on a powered-down B10, and then trying to escape? I'm no scenario writer, but it sounds pretty cool to me.

The problem with such a scenario is that you'd HAVE to use hidden movement for the scenario.

Which would be pretty cool.

I've consolidated the Midget stuff (PFs, Tender, Rules) into one page.

You can see them here.

Holy crap, those things are nasty! Eight points left for movement and weapons after cloaking and housekeeping? I don't know how the Axion Torpedes arm, but they could fly around every quickly while cloaked firing torpedoes at people. Seems a bit power heavy to me.

9 if you're not paying for AFC. Keep in mind that centurions and starhawks can do pretty much the same thing (speed 31 under cloak) if they want.

PFs always look overpowered with packs.

By Robert Snook (Verdick) on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 10:57 am: Edit

Yeah, but Centurions and Starhawks can't fire while cloaked either.

By Donovan A Willett (Ravenhull) on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 07:38 pm: Edit

Actually, that's part of the reason I didn't want packs on the original design. But, when we proposed that, everyone wanted packs on PFs.

Browsing through the existing older topics, I found this one. I remember being proud of these designs, so wanted to repost them.

Maybe my obsessive need to hold onto things is a curse AND a blessing?
