Directed Targeting p28
Once you have decided to use directed targeting, you
must decide whether to target engines or weapons. Either
choice will have its advantages and disadvantages. Targeting
power means you always use the #1 row of the Damage
Allocation Chart; targeting weapons means always
using the #6 row. (Normal targeting uses a die roll to pick
the row for each group of 10 damage points.)
Unless there is a rule change I missed this is wrong.
Directed targeting gives you a 50% chance of hitting the chosen row instead of a 16% chance. If targeting weapons any rolls of 1/2 become 6 when rolling for which DAC row. If targeting engines and roll of 5/6 becomes a 1.
I couldn't see any other part of that section referring to the way the dice roll works (yet anyway).
[edit] Aha - right at the end of that section,
In reality you only have a 50-50 chance of
hitting the desired system with each 10-point block of damage.
probably a bit of bad ordering, given what was said in the first bit above that last bit is a little confusing. If you are familiar with the rules then the first part makes you wonder whether the author knew the rules, if you are not so hot on the rules then it is a bit misleading, and then at the end confusing.
