The original LUG system uses d6-based Tests to resolve chance, whereas this game primarily uses 1d100 rolls and specialty rolls. Any referenced bonuses of +1, +2, +3, and so on have not yet been converted to the system used here. For conversion purposes, ~~each LUG bonus point equals +5 in this system~~.

If any wing in the pack has a negative modifier to hit the target (for example, due to Size or an evasive maneuver the target performed), all of the wings suffer that modifier.

	Following determination of initiative and once all wings are sub-divided into pairs (or greater) and designated "attacker" and "target", the attacking wing adds any bonus from a successful fleet attack pattern and subtracts the modifier from the target's fleet evasive pattern (if any) from its own Fleet skill. The attacker then rolls against this modified Fleet skill; if it fails by 30 or less, divide its Offense by two (2) and subtract from the Target's Defense. If it fails by greater than 30, divide the attacker's Offense by three (3) and subtract from the Target's Defense. A successful roll indicates the full Offense is rolled. Any result greater than zero (0) indicates a successful volley.

Any result greater than zero (0) indicates a successful volley.

	If the ~~target~~ wing took evasive maneuvers (''i.e.'', with a fleet evasive pattern), it cannot strike back with a counter-volley until the damage from the attacking wing is registered against the ~~target~~ wing. This means the ~~target~~ wing may be firing back with a reduced Offense value. If the ~~target~~ wing did ''not'' take evasive maneuvers, then its counter-volley takes place before any attacking damage is registered. In any case, the ~~target~~ wing never gets to choose an attack pattern while it is the designated target.

	A wing’s numbers (''i.e.'', quantity of vessels) must be factored into its base Offense. That way, larger wings (by vessel numbers) do more damage than smaller ones. Compare the total number of ships in the attacking wing to the number in the ~~defending~~ wing. If the attacker has more ships, divide the difference by 20 (round up fractions of .5 or higher) and add it to the wing’s base Offense from weaponry. This allows a significantly larger wing to demolish a smaller one in short order with its superior firepower. if the attacking wing is smaller than the ~~defending~~ wing, just use the Offense calculated from its weapons.

			: '''Example:''' 1,250 Dominion and Cardassian ships go into battle against 612 Federation alliance ships. 1250 x .66 = 825. 825/100 = 8.25 (which rounds down to eight). Since the Dominion outnumbers the Federation alliance by about two to one, the Narrator rolls 1d3, gets a 2, and subtracts 2 from the final total. Thus, the battle lasts about six hours.

			Narrators who want to determine randomly how long a fleet

			# Determine which side has the largest number of ships in the battle.
			# Multiply that number by .66.
			# Divide the result of Step 2 by 100.
			# If the result of Step 3 is 1 or more, multiply it by 1 hour to determine the length of the battle in hours. If the result is less than one, multiply it by 60 minutes to determine the length of the battle (in minutes).
			# If either side outnumbers the other by two to one, subtract 1d3 hours (or 1d6 minutes for battles lasting less than one hour). However, the minimum time for any battle is one hour (or five minutes).
			# For every additional tactical advantage roughly equivalent to a two to one numerical superiority (such as the element of surprise, or each additional factor of numerical superiority [3:1, 4:1, and so forth]), subtract another 1d3 hours.
