QWT sabot proposal

[IKV Avenger]

Paravian Quantum Wave Torpedo: Do you think it should have the sabot refit like plasma torpedoes? Plasma was given the sabot after Y180 to keep up with enemy ships that had been continually refitted. Also to be able to keep pace with faster late era vessels. The QWT is a relatively recent empire but not a lot of refits have gone into the empire after Module C6.

The QWT is basically akin to a plasma disruptor. Although it can be fired every turn, it’s strength is that of a standard disruptor for a non-overload, slightly less than 3/4 the strength of a plasma F at OL strength but with less range.

After Y180 I propose a refit on par with the plasma F i.e. refit costs 2 points per tube and arming costs an additional point. Speed 40 just like the more powerful plasma torpedo.

I’d like to play test this with the group when we resume games.

Thoughts welcome.

I'm going to suggest that the sabot feature be available on X ships. I think it's going to be needed in order to keep pace with other X ships.
