To hit a target with ship's weapons: Routine. Gunnery +/- the ship's Targetting Computer modifier +/- the weapon's modifier (+1 for double mounts) +/- the appropriate Target Profile Modifier (-2 at one hex-range). Instant. Referee: Double-mount weapons do only normal damage.
To selectively target an enemy Ship's Hanger Deck, Hull, Missile Bay, Power Plant, or Surface Fixture: Formidable. Gunnery +/- the ship's Targetting Computer modifier +/- the weapon's modifier (+1 for double mounts) +/- the appropriate Target Profile modifier (-2 at one hex range). Instant. Referee: This task may be used to hull an enemy ship; destroy its Hanger Deck, Missile Bay, or Power Plant without causing any other damage; remove a Gun-tower or other Weapon Mount; or to knock out Communicators, Sensors, Screen Generators, or TTAs. In order to attack Bridge, Drive, Life Support, or TAC sections, increase the difficulty by one level (to Impossible). The Computer, Damage Control Parties, and UTES may not be targetted at all, nor may Continuing Damage be intentionally caused. On a failure, if the total is six or more, the shot still hits, but is resolved as a normal attack. Any Success results in the specified Surface Fixture or area being hit, will not cause Continuous damage, and the ship receives normal battle damage for the weapon used.
To react to a missile prior to its detonation: Difficult. Gunnery. Instant. Referee: Success allows the gunner to fire normally, and such attacks are not counted against the nimber normally allowed in a round.
To hit a target with a remotely controlled weapon: Routine. The Lower of (Gunnery OR Remote Piloting) +/- the remote object's Targetting Computer modifier +/- the weapon's modifier (+1 for double mounts) +/- the appropriate Target Profile modifier (-2 at one hex range). Instant. Referee: Double mount weapons do only normal damage. Note that this task is substantially different from the old method, and that it requires improvement in Remote Piloting in order to gain better control.
To selectively target an enemy Ship's Hanger Deck, Hull, Missile Bay, Power Plant, or any Surface Fixture with fire from a remotely piloted weapon: Formidable. The Lower of (Gunnery OR Remote Piloting) +/- the missile's Targetting Computer modifier +/- the weapon's modifier (+1 for double mounts) +/- the appropriate Target Profile modifier (-2 at one hex range). Instant. Referee: Bridge, Drive, Life Support, and TAC attacks are Impossible, and Computers, Damage Control Parties, and UTES may not be targetted in this manner, nor will a successful selective hit cause Continuous Damage. Success does the normal weapons damage to the selected target, and Failures which are greater than six are treated as normal attacks, (roll the location hit).
