Ooh, I've got that book but I never noticed that. Thanks so much. It's p. 31:
- Aggressive Maneuvering
- Ambush Maneuver
- Escape Maneuver
- Evasive Maneuvering
- Reversal Maneuver
Hmmm... These are all just specific maneuvers from the space combat system in Spaceships 1. This is the kind of rule I was looking for, but I find these techniques lack panache.
My particular player is much more interested in having cool-sounding things on his character sheet (and in getting to say them out loud) than he is interested in actually winning a fight with the Spaceships 1 combat rules. Or actually ever learning the Spaceships 1 combat rules. Or actually ever reading Spaceships 1. That may be why I find these techniques less than exciting. He'd prefer a
Pylon Turn any day. Or a
Nap of Earth: Death Star. Thanks for the heads-up though.
