Serenity Starship Energy Weapons
Revision as of 19:54, 3 January 2017 by Thedemonapostle (talk | contribs)
Energy Weapons
Due to their energy requirements, a ship can’t mount an energy weapon (or weapons) with a combined die rating that exceeds its Hull. For example, a ship with Hull 3D could have a 2D EMP cannon and a 1D plasma cutter, but no other energy weapons. All energy weapons have a Rate of Fire 1.
- EMP cannon: The electromagnetic pulse cannon does Ionization damage only. EMP cannons are limited to short range.
- Lasers: Spacecraft-Scale lasers are feasible, but not truly practical due to cost. Targets suffer a –2D when dodging, and the range penalty is reduced by one bracket (e.g., firing at long range only incurs penalties as if firing at medium range). Lasers do not need ammunition.
- Plasma Cutters: Used by boarding parties to quickly penetrate another ship’s hull or by scrappers to dismantle old hulks, plasma cutters are point-blank weapons. Plasma cutters ignore a ship’s Armor Rating. If a plasma cutter produces more than 4 damage, it has breached the ship.
- Plasma Packet: Plasma packet weapons have no need for ammunition, but are limited to medium range. Their projectiles are treated as armor piercing (ignore the first 1D of armor), but they suffer a –1D to their damage die.
