I have been reading the Reference Rulebook and have a few questions on some weapons.
1. The PC can fire once every 3 impulse. But the overload shot can be fired only once a turn? Say I fire a overload shot in impulse 6, next impulse 1 can I fire and overload shot then in impulse 3 fire a regular shot?
2. A Web Breaker fired in Shield Cracker form can only damage shields, but can it still do shield burn through even if it was the only weapons fired that volley? |

1. Yes, twice per turn, but only one overload shot. Fire overload impulse 1, then regular shot on impulse 4.
2. Shield crackers never do any internal damage. No burn-through. If it does 10 or more damage to shields, all of that is applied to the shield and none goes through. _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

1) You can overload on 6 and again on impulse 1, but after firing on impulse 1 you would have to wait until impulse 4 before befire firing again.
Note PC have had the 3 impulse delay across turn breaks removed recently, so you can overload on 8 and 1.
2) A web breaker is always the only weapon in a volley, if you fire that and something else then they are both resolved as seperate volleys. Shield crackers can't do burthrough - they only affect shields.
