LOE Ship Weapons Test

Tags

P# - Pierce; reduces the enemy armor value by the P value. Reduced by 1 for every negative relative milieu level.
B# - Break; reduces the enemy shield value by the B value. Reduced by 1 for every negative relative milieu level.
S# - Smash; increases soak difficulty by S value. Reduced by 1 for every negative relative milieu level.
AA# - Anti-Air; adds a bonus equal to the AA value to the weapon when used for anti-air attacks.
Flak# - Flak; adds a bonus equal to the Flak value to the weapon when used for anti-air attacks. Also increases enemy MDP-scale defensive saves by the Flak value, as they are ill-suited to penetrating heavy shields/armor
PD - Point Defense; can be used in the point-defense role.
Slow - Target may evade with speed roll.
Alpha# - Weapon has an integral capacitor, allowing it a number of extra shots equal to the Alpha value once per battle.
Guided# - Weapon can perform target re-aquisition, allowing it a number of re-rolls equal to the Guided value.
Single Shot - Weapon has one shot per battle.
Air - Weapon fires an 'air' attack (normally a large missile) that can be shot down.
Energy - Weapon is an energy attack and may be vulnerable to specific countermeasures.
Hybrid - Weapon has properties of both energy and projectile and uses whichever is optimal for penetrating defenses.
Power Hungry - No other weapons can be fired that turn.
