Intimidating

An intimidating weapon strikes fear in the crew of any starships hit. After a starship hits another starship with an intimidating weapon, its captain gains one of the following benefits during the following round: the captain can perform the taunt action against a starship that has already been taunted once during that combat, the captain can choose two phases of combat to affect when using the taunt action against that starship, or the captain gains a +2 circumstance bonus to the Intimidate check to taunt the attacked ship.

Line

A weapon with this special property fires a beam in a straight line that can pierce through multiple targets. The gunner attempts a single gunnery check and compares the result to the AC of all ships in a line originating from her starship and extending to the weapon’s range increment. Roll the weapon’s damage once and apply it to each target with an AC equal to or lower than the gunner’s result, starting with the closest. If any of that damage is negated due to a ship’s Damage Threshold, the beam is stopped and the attack doesn’t deal damage to targets farther away.

Mystical

When attempting a gunnery check with a mystical weapon, which is a hybrid device, a gunner can use their ranks in Mysticism in place of either their base attack bonus or ranks in Piloting, and their Wisdom modifier in place of their Dexterity modifier.
