In-line with some of the other special abilities, I'm a little unsure what unit gets this. ASC pg. 130 simply states:
To receive this special ability, a unit must be able to deliver a combined damage value of 1 point or more at Medium range with just its re-engineered laser weapons
That makes me think it's just a straight-up add all forward or turret mounted REL damage values, no heat modification, no rounding. If that value is >= 1, it gets the REL. But in trying to determine if that logic made sense, I found the following two units:
Spider SDR-10KThis has one Large Re-engineered Laser with a medium range damage value of 0.945, and
receives the REL ability. This leads me to believe it is after rounding.
Templar III TLR2-OCThis has one Large Re-engineered Laser with a medium range damage value of 0.945 (even if you did heat-modification it would still be 0.847), and
does not recieve the REL ability. This leads me to believe it is before rounding.
So, figured I'd just ask (don't worry, I'm almost done with Special Abilities now). Does the REL ability take into consideration heat-modification and/or rounding; either before or after final damage values?
