Re: [Spaceships] Missile shield vs. ramming: two questions
It requires a lot of extra power but here are examples of beams slocing through ships.

Assuming the salvo has enough RoF, a hit by 10, instead of meaning you roll damage 10 times, lets you roll damage once and shift wounding by 10 columns (from /30 to x1.5). |
