Hi to all, here's my question.
In the TNG Core rule book, when talking abt. starship shields it is said that any starship has two shields.
It is said too that for the shields have a basic cost of 1 power point for every 1 shield damage point.
If you want to extened the damage that can be absorbed by the shield you have to pay 3 power point for every 1 shield damage point.
If you take a look to Klingon B'Rel class war bird you find this:
Total Power 150
Shield Cost 54 [75]
where [75] is the cost for the very maximum 125% damage points that ONE shield can reach.
So to reach that power a capt. should shut down every single system aboard. We know Klingons are tough, but IMO they still have the need for something funny as the computers.Thus the cost above is to be considered necessary to power both the shields or to power only one shield?
I mean with shield up to 100% of their power I have to spend 54 points or 108 points in the case above?
I'd prefer to continue using the basic combat system, since my players need to become more expert.
I hope not to have bored you more then necessary.
