Title: (Answered) EM Interference Quirk and TAGs
Post by: Jellico on 19 May 2011, 15:27:11

This quirk is applied to Energy Weapons.

For the purposes of this quirk, is a TAG an Energy Weapon (and a possible cause of EM) or is it a piece of "Electronic Warfare Equipment".

Strat Ops, P198.

A TAG does not require a fusion reactor to operate so technically not an energy weapon.

However, for the purposes of this quirk, it should be considered an energy weapon. The purpose of the quirk is to interfere with beam energy and a TAG is a low power laser.
