Title: Pegasus Hover Tank- Mislabeled Equipment?
Post by: Porshadoxus on 13 March 2019, 06:00:39

I've been playing BT since 1987, mostly the 3025-3065 era. I've perused the Tech Readouts uncountable times, so I'm surprised that I missed this for so long.

I've recently been using some vehicles for scenarios, and I came across what I think are mis-labeled equipment in the vehicle descriptions.
Reference TR 3026 pp 30-31
Reference TR 3039 pp 44-45

For both of these references, the Communications System is listed as the Exeter LongScan w/ ReconLock, while the Targeting and Tracking System is listed as the Salamander Systems CommPhase Unit. Shouldn't they be reversed?
Seems to me that a system with Scan and Lock labels should be for shooting, while a system with a Comm label should be for Communication.

Thoughts?

Yes, they should be reversed.
