Heh - 1st reply is a topic hijack (with only about 4 posts even on topic).

I think that's a record, Andrew.

Oh, and I would round up, or use some handwavium to come up with a good reason to round down (some mx innovation, etc.).

Well I did answer the question as well! It just amazes me that people still want to use Bk2...it's like choosing to use Windows 3.1, or a B&W TV, or a VCR, when they have access to far superior alternatives.

Well, since the OTU includes ships larger than 5kt, the answer isn't Bk2.

The OTU also includes:

ships with particle accelerator bays and spinal mount

ships of 2000t displacemant with spinal mounts

ships with multiple spinal mounts in parallel configuration

etc. etc.

High Guard doesn't model those very well - but then, neither does Book 2

But I do use a B&W TV (or adjust the colors to B&W) when watching "classics" that have been colorized <spittooeee>

Tech, like rules, should be bent to work to please us, not the other way around
