Weapons

A Note on Combat Inside Ships

Most inner hulls of starships are sheilded against damage from energy blast, suffering from only half the effect. Ballistic, burst, or explosion damage have full effect. Breaching the inner hull will cause immediate loss of life support in that section of the ship or station for one round, before the shield kicks in to seal it. Breaching both the inner and outer hulls from inside causes immediate loss of life support in that section also jettisoning anything not bolted down into the vacuum of space for 1 round until the bulk head doors close to seal the section. Most combat inside starships and space stations take place either hand to hand or with melee and small arms weapons.

The toughness bonus of the various quadrants can be moved around for increased protection in a certain quadrant, never going over the maxium.

The crusier takes two blast to the bow, and since all shields are ablative, now only has a toughness bonus of 3 on the bow quadrant. On the engineer's (or pilot's) next turn, as a move action, he can move 2 toughness bonus points from the aft quadrant (taking it down to 3) to the bow quadrant, restoring the original bonus of 5.
