The ASIF works as the following...the listed systems are able to take double the 
damage ( that is they take two points of damage each ) to destroty each box...if 
the last point of damage strikes a box, it will destroy that box either in 
conjunction with a preivous points of damage or on it's own. The SSD should have 
a table on it (in four parts, low power, full power and the SSD box types of 
each . They are Low Power:- Hull, Excess Damage, Armour.Full OPower, Cargo,
Baracks, Control, Lab, Shuttle bay.
 ASIF works, as the listed systems take two points of damage to destroy if the 
ASIF is running in a powered mode. Low Power:- Hull, Excess Damage, Armor.Full 
Power:- Cargo Barracks, Control, Shuttle Bay, Lab. The last point of damage must 
destroy a box reguardless of whether that is in conjunction with the penultimate point of damage or by it'self. The A.S.I.F. 
has a decreaing return, it cost the same ammount of power to
 run reguardless of how many SDD boxes of a particularly type are running. The 
ASIF increases to the protected level of the protected system 4 impulses  
after power was applied to it, and looses the protective effect the instant 
power is takenm away from it...at WS-III an X2 ship may be considered to  
have been opperating it's ASIF on the previous turn.
