Go ahead!

One simple variation:
- Use 1d10 for the to-hit rolls. This reduces the effect of ECM/CS and hull bonuses.
Or, 2d6... which gives a different curve, in which small modifiers help more than in the 1d10 case.

EDIT:
I've attached a dice grapher program. Set the number of dice, and the number of sides with the scrollbars, and it generates a nice colourful bar graph showing you what chance you have to beat the other player or tie.
