This section encompasses all the conversations between myself and Lindharin
(a fellow Games Master). The main point of the discussions is to
convert
the MDC system to a SDC system.
The reason that the SDC system was looked at as a substitute for the MDC
system, was due to the fact that burst weapons were too powerful and heavy
weapons were too weak. By converting everything into SDC and putting all
weapons into power categories, this issue was nicely addressed.
Under the new SDC rules, the common infantry rifle (even with its x7 damage
multiplier for a full burst) would not be as effective against vehicle armour.
Also, heavy weapons were now more effective against normal body armour.
To fully detail this system would take too long to describe, but you can
get the just of it by looking at the letters and visiting this
gm's website.
It was eventually decided not to use this system, because it was
too much
of a radical departure from the norm.
