Defensive Fire

Defensive Fire is an Advanced Function for crew members. To learn about other functions go the Space Ship Functions section of the Space Ships page.

Description

This allows the Weapon’s Officer to turn one of this d10s into a point defense system against Missiles and ships 4 sizes smaller or smaller. The Weapon’s Officer can choose to withhold fire unless the target ship fires. If it is Missiles the Weapons are used like a Point Defense system. If a ship 4 sizes smaller is within Medium or Small range and fires the Weapon’s Officer can attempt to use there weapon like it was 4 size categories smaller and fire on the ship. (for the sake of battle damage the weapon is considered the same size there are no bonuses for being bigger under this function)
