Hi all,
Gosh, I like writing maneuvers. Here are new ones. Feel free to comment!!
Tier 2
"Watch And Learn" (Tactical) (This one is taken from a VOY ep, I don't recall the title)
The tactical officer fires a warhead in the vicinity of enemy ships, then uses a beam weapon to detonate it, sending an EM shockwave to disrupt the systems.
PREREQUISITES: All targets must be in the same range increment. The acting ship must be equipped with a warhead launcher and a beam weapon.
DURATION: Instant.
TN: 5+sum of targets’ protections.
EFFECT: If the maneuver is successful, all targets suffer the penetration ratio of the warhead plus the beam weapon used. For every 3 points of damage suffered by the vessels, the operations system takes 1 point of damage.
Tier 3
Riker Maneuver (Command)
The ship releases the gas (or any other unstable substance) contained in its Bussard collectors (or cargo bay) in the vicinity of enemy ships, then ignites it by firing on it.
PREREQUISITES: Cannot be used after Evasive Attack (C), Fast Attack (C), Z-Axis (H), Open (H) or Evasion (H). All targets must be in the same range increment.
DURATION: Instant
TN: 20+3/ship targeted beyond the first
EFFECT: The TN of this maneuver is 20+3 for each ship targeted beyond the first. On a successful maneuver, all targeted ships suffer the penetration damage of the weapon used to ignite the gas.
By the way, does anybody know if there will be new maneuvers in the Starships book?
