Here is a copy of my revised ship damage table.  I have playtested it now
and I liked the results I would be interested in hearing other people's
opinions.

Revised Damage System
0-6 1-3 Shield -1D 4-6 Hull -1D
6-12 Light Damaged
13-20 Medium Damaged
21-24 Heavy Damaged
25-30 Severely Damaged
31 Destroyed
Light Damage
1-2 Shield -1D
3-4 Weapon Emplacement(Damage-Shield+Hull at next lower level)
5-6 Hull -1D
Medium Damage
1 Shield -2D
2 Weapon (1D Number Damaged)
3 Hyperdrive
4 Hull -2D
5 Move -1 Man -1D
6 Computer Damage -1D to any action
Heavy Damage
1 Shield -3D
2 Weapon (2D Number Damaged)
3 1-3 Hyperdrive (x2 Damage) 4-6 Powerplant Damage (3D rounds till shutdown)
4 Hull -3D
5 Move -2 Man -2D
6 Computer Damage -2D to Any Action
Severely Damaged
1 Shield -4D
2 Weapon (3D Number Damaged)
3 1-3Hyperdrive (x2 Damage) 4-6 Powerplant Damage (1D rounds till shutdown)
4 Hull -4D
5 Move -3 Man -3D
6 Computer Damage -3D to any action

Notes:
Thought about adding sensors under this but have never really used the
sensors all that much so figured if I grouped it under Computer Damage that
would solve the problem.

For Powerplant Damage when first hit it is a Moderate to Repair, Easy to
Shutdown each time hit difficulty goes up one If Powerplant is not shut
down the vessel causes the amount of space speed in D damage in its scale.
Same goes for computer each D raises the difficulty for repair by one
level.

When Hull reaches 0D the crew has 2D rounds tell Structural Failure also
Powerplant needs to be shut down or the ship well explode upon structural
failure.

A vessel may aim to do a certain damage such as lowering it shields or
destroying a weapon.  Increase the diff. by 20 for capital and 30 for
starfighter scale +10 for each scale lower than that.

Thanks,
