Are these 3 KT ships? It would take piles of them just to kill a fighter, never mind a capital ship! And you also would not be able to fit enough of them into the combat map to hurt anything!

I hope you meant "vehicles", and "troops" in particular.

Boarding attack and defense stack completely. Any component with the ability will only add to the total ability. (Ooh, what about negative attack or defense built into the hull...)

Note: Components with the attack ability are all destroyed when a boardig attempt is made: I have no idea what would happen to a ship hull with the ability; probably nothing, but maybe the ship will be destroyed outright.

---------------
As for those antimatter ships, you could try making them take extra damage from weapons by giving them a negative cyrstalline armor ability!
If it works, the first hit will make their shields become -50/0 or something, and the second shot will do the extra 50 damage!

Be sure to test this first.

About the Infantry vs Cyborgs & stuff.
Are you planning to include an item in the description such as:

Cyborg Troops: A squad of two hundred cyborgs. (10 tons of equipment each)
Infantry: A 10,000 member squad of regular ground troopers. (300 pounds each)

Every troop has to be multiple individuals, but I was wondering about the scale you were looking at: Big Bad "Terminator" cyborgs vs the puny humans or what?

quote:

Sure. Give it shields and give it crystalline ability equal to or greater than the laser's damage.

To prevent this from ruining weapons other than the laser, you can divide the laser components so that they are 5KT in size, but have the same DMG/KT/turn as normal.

quote:

Going the other way: What about a spherical repulsor field to keep all that nasty atmosphere and stuff out of your hair? It would act as a powerful shield or armor.
