New bunch of maneuvers

I think it's not really possible with the base Target System - or I may have misunderstood the description...

Okay. Yeah, the wording was a little imprecise. Not sure how to rectify it, though... Hmmm.

Adding a simple example at the end might do the trick Like:

An Intrepid class ship Locks On the propulsion system of D'deridex warbird, then Multiweapons.

Overall penetration at range 2: 5+5=10.
Minus the threshold (4), makes 6: the propulsion system takes 2 criticals.

Or add a line like: "This maneuver allows a ship to target a specific system even with attacks involving missile weapons, e.g. a torpedoe attack or a Multiweapon maneuver involving a missile weapon system."

(AFAIR - while it's not in the NG - targeting specific systems isn't normaly possible with torpedoes. IIRC Don or Doug stated that somewhere.)

Thanks Lancer - that would be clearer

As for torpedoes targeting systems... IIRC, in ST Generations, against the Duras sisters, Riker orders Worf to "target their warp core", and then they are using torps.

OK, I know everything doesn't have to be modelled in game terms, the shields were down, and my memory may fail.

Doesn't Tuvok target weapons array repeatedly in Voy using torps as well?

...Just a thought. I will dig more
