Dear Folks –

For those who missed it, here’s the rules, extended, with sample missiles:

==> Tavonni Repair bays

==> House Rules

==> Mayday Missiles Modified

I wish. That really would be magic for a Sidewinder-sized missile. 6G is the max thrust. The trailing 6 is how many 1G burns are available. Thus 6G6 means the missile can accelerate to 6G, *once*.

Sucks, I know.

Try these instead:

"Sprint", Advanced Civilian turret missile, TL 13, 20G20 discretionary, contact/command detonation, radio receiver, TDX warhead, 50 kg, Cr26,460. [This can accelerate to 20Gs, once (discretionary, so it can accelerate at a lower rate if desired). It basically crosses an entire Mayday-scale table in one go, eliminating the need for those pesky missile counters!!]

"Bolt", Advanced naval bay missile, TL 15, 20G100 discretionary, contact/intel/command detonation, radio receiver, IR/mass/neutrino sensors, 50kT nuclear warhead, 100 kg, Cr557,050. [This one’s a serious Imperial Navy missile. Also discretionary, but it can accelerate at 20Gs, up to 5 times (100/20 = 5).]

Both available from trendi, your friendly vehicle and equipment supplier on Tavonni. (Mention this ad and get a 10% discount!!  ;-)
