Tracking Weapons

Tracking weapons’ projectiles are slower and must home in using a target’s TL. A tracking weapon’s projectile has a listed speed; once fired, it moves that number of hexes toward its target. Each subsequent round during the gunnery phase, it must succeed at a gunnery check against the target’s TL to continue to move its speed toward its target. On a failure, the projectile is lost. If the projectile reaches the target’s hex, it deals the listed damage.


Limited Fire

A weapon with this special property can fire only the listed number of times in a starship combat encounter before it requires a brief period of time (10 minutes outside of starship combat) to recharge and rebuild the weapon’s inherent ammunition. A weapon with this special property is often a tracking weapon.

Smoldering

Weapons with this property contain chemical agents that burn for longer than normal. At the end of the next round after a successful hit by a smoldering weapon, the arc takes additional damage as indicated by the value shown in parentheses. Typical smoldering damage is half the damage done on the initial attack.
