I like it, but I chose to use the missile-style broadside for a couple of reasons. #1) range doesn't really mean much in space aside from (missile) fuel capacity -for manuevering- and (energy) beam attenuation. I put a range limit on my missile tokens because that's the distance through which they can be steered to target. Been thinking about using a 'free flight' rule after the control range. That is to say, after the bside reaches range it goes straight-line ballistic off the map edge. However, that would entail some other minor rules that I haven't worked out. #2) missile tokens are extra pieces to build (
) but allow for something (let's say nearby fighters) to have a chance of shooting them down. don't have a rule for that yet, either, but I like the idea. **Although... the beam broadside / attenuation idea is interesting... mebbe a light 'shotgun' effect on fighters outside of bside range? Hmmm... Darn you for giving me ideas
