I want to have a couple minor alien species in my campaign. I'm planning to use Blue Planet's civilian and possibly Vishnan ships for this purpose. I have some specific ideas regarding weapons to give them a more unique feel -- primarily Gattlers for the civ ships (since they already have such a modern feel) and exclusively dumbfire missiles for the Vishnan craft. However, civ ships (the Scimitar, at least) seem to be incompatible with the Gattler. I can force them to use it with scramble/red alert, but then the Gattler just has no ammo and can't fire.
Any way to resolve this, or will I have to edit the tables?
