You know what would be a good invention for Navies?
A Naval Scale LBX, or at least some sort of cluster rounds for Naval Autocannons.
Rules:
The Naval Flechette (NF) round has the same tonnage as standard Naval Autocannon Rounds. However there are a number of differences between the NF and a standard round. Unlike standard NAC rounds, the NF does not receive any penalty when firing at targets weighing less then 500 tons. Instead When fired at a target there is a -1 modifier to the attack role.
If the attack is successful damage is then applied to the target. If the target is an aerospace fighter squadron or small craft, each unit receives damage equal to 1/3 the value of the round, rounding down. For example a NAC 40 inflicts 13 points of capital scale damage. To represent that this damage is spread across numerous targets, the damage is applied in 2 point groups. For every 2 points of damage roll a d6 and apply the damage to the approriate fighter. Note that according to Strategic Ops, this will result in a critical hit almost every time. This is intentional as the NF is intended to penetrate through armor and destroy internal systems.
Against dropships, the NF round inflicts 1/4 of its damage rating, rounded down. For example a NAC25 inflicts 6 points of capital scale damage. Against warships the round inflicts 1/5 of its damage rating. For example an NAC40 inflicts 8 points of Capital Scale damage.
While a NF round has the same mass and size as a standard round, the rounds cost 3 times as much due to the added complexity.
