Evening Evyn,

My take is that the weapons listed in LBB 2 where what was available to all ships. LBB 5 is geared for building up warships and the LBB 2 covered what most civilian and non-3I navies could legally have. I don't know about you but I'd rather have my naval asset out-gunning civilians and mercenaries. It would be nice if I'd out gun pirates and other bad guys.

The other item is that the combat systems are different between LBB 2 and LBB 5, which is probably why I never thought of trying to bring in the additional systems from LBB 5.

When you figure out the numbers I would like to get a copy please.

Well that's no fun.....

Remember Special Supplement 3 Missiles has the radiation damage chart
for Book 2, so we are partially there for PAs....
