Best Dogfighting Rules

[Jack of Shadows]

Hey Guys,

Can someone point me to some really good dogfighting rules? Any system is fine. I've been watching the new Macross Frontier episodes and I'm really jonesing to homebrew something up for it. Thanks in advance.

SW Saga base rules treat a dogfight as a type of grapple.

I think there's a maneuver-like system in the Starships expansion, but I don't have that yet.

IMHO any decent chase rules could be well adapted to dogfighting... but I've never seen decent chase rules. :\

Cheers, -- N

Probably the best chase/dogfight rules for d20 come from Spycraft. Moving outside d20, if I was going to run another Macross game (I ran a game set contemporaneously with Macross 7, but on a different colony fleet) I'd probably do what I did then and use a Fuzioned up Mekton Z.

My personal favorite chase rules are the ones from Adamant Entertainment's Hot Pursuit line. I liked them so much that I adapted them for my personal star wars campaigns (see here).

Good luck and I hope that helped some.
