(Answered) Aerospace Failed Landing Damage
« on: 30 July 2023, 15:26:27 »
Per p. 87, aerospace units that fail their landing roll take 10*MoF damage to their nose or aft for aerodynes and spheroids respectively. Should these instead indicate that players should roll on the nose or aft table, or is it intended to be fixed, single-location damage? If it is a fixed location, what should the critical effect be in the event that landing damage causes a critical hit?

Followup question, is this damage in one or multiple lots?

Pretty much none of the various aerospace disaster damages has this explained, I see.  I'd apply it as 5-point damage value groupings.
