Hellbores
 by John Hanna "Gnaarl"

ESGs and Hellbores.

Advantage ESG:
Each ESG starts with 5 power at WSIII.
Each ESG capacitor can hold 7 points of power.
Hellbores require constant power (3 each turn, 3 more to overload).
ESGs can be used offensively.
The threat to use ESGs offensively can draw Hellbore fire.
ESGs stop Hellbore damage.
Overloaded Hellbores have to be fired.


Advantage Hellbore:
Rearming ESGs is a heavy drain on power (5 points each for full power).
Hellbores automatically hit ESGs.
Hellbores can be used defensively to stop ESG impact.
Hellbore range is calculated from Hellbore ship to ESG, not ESG ship.
Hellbores do not have to fire at ESGs.
Hellbores can wait to fire until ESGs are lowered.
