Pz8 Space Fighter Dog Fight Rules

Athos3
I've been messing with the WWII / WWI aircraft rules to see if they could be modded to recreate the dog fights in Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers and such.  

If a fighter has shields is has an S in the bottom right corner.  If it has FTL or hyper-drive it has an H in that bottom right corner.  

These are rough and have not been thoroughly play tested.  If anyone does play test them feed back is appreciated.
 
Thanks
Pete

I haven't play tested them but I have some basic feed back.

First, very important! Change this paragraph to reflect that these are an off-shoot of panzer8's rules created by you and the proper date.

These ultra-simple rules are intended for a very quick game or a campaign between fighters,
fighter bombers and dive bombers squadrons.

As for the rules, where are your example star ships? They seem to be missing from the "Sample Data" section.

I recommend taking a second look at anything to do with "altitude" while fighters are in space. I like the idea of a "galactic plane", but it gets confusing when "ground attacking space-born objects".

Star Frontiers actually did away with altitude and used a 2D hex map to abstract movement. It worked quite well.

Hope you find this feedback constructive. Keep up the good work!
