Editing SWADE the Last Parsec Setting

:'''Reaction Fire''': Anti-missile and torpode weapons. The basic AI of a system grants it a d10 ''Shooting'' skill (it is also an Exra). These attacks have one chance to destory missiles and torpedoes before they hit the ship or the shields. If successful the missile or torpedo is destroyed before striking the vehicle. If still within AOE it deals half damage (and if the vessel has active Shields it halves the damage again)

Auto-cannons (also called chain guns) are powered weapons that fire bursts of chemically propelled metal slugs at the target. They are primarily used by light military vehicles and aircraft to destroy ground targets or as point-defense weapons for starships. Ammo costs are for a full load drum of shots. All Auto-Cannons are considered Heavy Weapons.</br>

Dropping bombs uses ''Battle'' rather than ''Shooting''. Craft must be in atmosphere to drop bombs. Night, cloud cover, rain, very high altitude attacks (GM’s call) or other factors that might interfere with the bomb’s targeting systems inflicts a –2 penalty. All bombs listed below are Heavy Weapons</br>

Cannons fire large, chemically-propelled, explosive shells. The shells listed below are the most common. High explosive versions reduce the damage die type to d8 and halve AP but increase the Burst Template to Large, or to 10” radius if already Large. Ammo costs are per full load. All Cannons are Heavy Weapons.</br>

A cannon that is used an an Artillery Piece is also available. The cost and damage/AP is the same but range is doubled and the number of shot is 1. With a crew equal to the Mods of the cannon the weaon can be fired every other Round (i.e. Small Cannon has 2 mods so needs 2 crew memeber. Artillery pieces are movable but they cannot fire when doing so as not not generally mounted onto vehicles.</br>

Flamethrowers use liquid or vapor fuel to burn targets. They’re often used to dig opponents out of caves or other tight places. The ones listed here are more powerful, lighter, and carry more propellant than older versions (such as those found in Savage Worlds). The firer can use the Blast Template or fire out to a range of 18" (36 yds) for a Medium or Large Burst template depending on the size of the weapon</br>

For direct fire against a target, Attackers make a ''Electronics'' or ''Shooting'' opossed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking skill''. Success by the attacker means that the ship has a weapons-locked the target. On the following round as an Action a successful ''Shooting'' check strike the target. Without weapons-lock the attack roll is at an additional -4 in addition to any other penalties. Targets can try to break weapons-lock each round after but as an opposed roll where they suffer a -2 penalty to their ''Electronics'' or ''Hacking'' check (until the weapon's lock is broken when the checks suffer no penalties).</br>

For proximity or AOE fire at a target, the Attackers make a ''Shooting'' check opposed by the target's ''Electronics'' or ''Piloting'' check. A win by the attacker means the weapon detenated nearby and the target veessel suffers Half damage. The target could attempt a seperate ''Piloting'' check at -4 to 'dive out of the way' and suffer no damage.</br>
