To do this it requires detailed deck plans and a damage control schematic. It also means that little bits of collateral damage can have significant effects. As a test for the system I develope a KHs style freighter of moderate size. Depending on responses I'll likely tackle bigger ships, both para military and military designs. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

A GM could always add to the chaos onboard off the cuff based on the roll on the KH damage table, but a quick 'HOLY C' detailed damage table would be awesome asset.

I plan to include a table for hit location ie which frame on the hull is hit then list systems and equipment that can be affected in that location. PC location can result in injury but in this system when a weapon strike the ship blast and hull fragments will fly through a compartment must like burst fire from an automatic weapon in the rules.
