Default Re: Idea for boarding modification

quote:
I guess it'd make sense to have two flavors of SDD - ordinary and then Versions equipped with bomb defUsers. Does it need to be in an SDD to work, or can it be in a special boarding party that damages SDD's? (I don't understand the logic/explanation behind an SDD that destroys other SDD's).
You have a weapon, "Boarding Cannon" with a damage type of "only Security stations". By giving the self destruct boarding defense, it counts as a security station, and can be destroyed by the cannon.

As a tweak for that, you could make the boarding cannon do 9 damage. Make the SDD have 9 hp, and the security stations have 10HP.

Then the cannon can only destroy the SDD, and there is a chance that the cannon will fail (when it hits a security station, rather than the SDD).

Not that that's a big problem - I despise "rock-paper-scissors" anyway
Just curious: What do you prefer instead?
An uberweapon at the top tech level?
