|
|
Another question we had come up tonight.
if you get hit in the same shield during the same impulse by 2 or more seeking weapons (be it drones, plasma whatever) does it count as one salvo for battery reinforcement or a seperate salvo for each individual seeking weapon? |

I think only direct fire weapons can be grouped. |

(3A4) says (in part), "A volley consists of all of the damage resulting from either: (1) all of the Seeking Weapons which strike a single shield during a single Impulse or (2) all of the Direct-Fire Weapons fired by a single ship..."
This indicates that, for seeking weapons, a volley consists of every seeking weapon that strikes a single shield during an Impulse. So, even seeking weapons from different launching ships, if they strike a common target through the same shield in the same Impulse, would be treated as one volley. |

Though, you'd hope you have destroyed enough of the seeking weapons so you could ingnore that rule. |
