Torpedoes

Then she records the number of decoys
the Dolphin has (1), plus the success spread
of its damage control system (1–6) and
point defenses (1–4), as well as the number
of point defense attacks the Dolphin can
make (2). And although it’s not shown on
the display on the next page, she removes
the pilot killed result on the ship’s critical
hit table.
The Damage Track
Now all Ann has to do is fill in the
Dolphin’s damage track. First, she marks
off all but the ship’s 30 hit boxes on the
damage track.
The Dolphin has a Drive of 16, so Ann
needs to try to put (16 ÷ 2 =) 8 Drive boxes
on its damage track. She adds 1 to that
number and divides the number of boxes
on her damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [8 +
1] =) 3.3, which rounds up to 4. She puts a
Drive box in the fourth box on her track
and then puts in another box every four
boxes. Using this spacing, the eighth box
won’t fit on the track. Ann realizes that’s
okay and just leaves it off.
After that, she fills in the boxes. She
writes 16 in the first Drive box, 14 in the
second, and so on, until she gets to the end
and writes 4 in the last box.
The Dolphin has a Damage Reduction of
2. Ann adds one to that number and divides
the number of boxes on her damage track
by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =) 10. She puts a
diamond in the tenth box on her track. The
other diamond should be in the twentieth
box, but that’s box already has a Drive symbol
in it, so she puts it in the twenty-first
box. Then she fills in the diamonds with
the values 2 and 1.
The Dolphin has a quad Splattergun
mount and a missile launcher, giving it two
weapon mounts. Ann adds 1 to that number
and divides the number of boxes on her
damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =)
10. She goes to put a w in the damage
track’s tenth box, but it’s got a Damage
Reduction symbol in it, so the w goes in
the eleventh box.
She tries to put the other w in the damage
track’s twentieth box , but it has a Drive
symbol in it. The twenty-first box has a
Damage Reduction symbol in it, so the w
goes into the twenty-second box. Ann then
changes the second w to a W. BPV: I.D.
The Dolphin masses 300 tons, giving it
2 crits. Ann adds 1 to that number and divides
the number of boxes on her damage
track by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =) 10. She
goes to place an asterisk in the tenth box,
but it’s filled, as are the eleventh and
twelfth, so it goes in the thirteenth. She
moves to place the next symbol in the twentieth
box, but it’s occupied, as are the next
two, so the symbol goes into the twentythird
box. Her damage track is complete.
