Everyone involved (myself included) were slowly pulled away for "real life" during the year or two before that. I myself have been (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

| Very well. I think five days is adequate time to wait for replies before replying to my own post. Evidently, this group isn't currently active. With that in mind, I'd like to post a notification here, to all interested parties, advising that I am (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

I think it's a fascinating, well-thought-out concept that caters (...) (17 years ago, 22-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

| (...) I'm not a numbers guy, so I can't really help with the mathematics, but from a purely physical point of view, I've always loved the idea of rolling more dice. It's fun to see an opponent's face when you starting picking up d6's, and they say (...) (17 years ago, 8-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

| (...) Wow. I opened this thread expecting to defend the 1d6+A option, but Dave presents a convincing argument for the Ad6. Even with an opposing defense roll (with a defense value also 1-4), a ship with defense 1 would (with a 1-6 range) dodge once (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jan-08, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

| (...) Another difference is that there's a large variance in Ad6, and very little variance in 1d6+A. With A=4 (for instance) you get Ad6 resulting between 4 and 24, which is a huge range. With 1d6+A, you get between 5 and 10. For that reason, I'd (...) (17 years ago, 19-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
