Playing and shot down a fighter and something weird happened.
Weapons fire for Faith's Anchor ANK-004 (Blake's Hammer)
ER PPC at Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)); needs 7, rolls 8 : hits (using Left Side table) LWG
Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) takes 10 damage to LWG.
0 Armor remaining.
Possible critical hit (Damage threshold exceeded); needs 8, rolls 5 : no effect.
ER PPC at Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)); needs 7, rolls 7 : - Glancing Blow - hits (using Left Side table) LWG
Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) takes 5 damage to LWG.
2 damage transfers to the SI. 3 SI remaining.
Possible critical hit (Damage threshold exceeded); needs 8, rolls (6-2) = 4 : no effect.
Possible critical hit (SI damaged); needs 8, rolls (7-2) = 5 : no effect.
Gauss Rifle at Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)); needs 7, rolls 10 : hits (using Left Side table) AFT
Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) takes 15 damage to AFT.
Armor destroyed.
3 damage transfers to the SI. 0 SI remaining.
>Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) suffers catastrophic damage, but the autoeject system was engaged.
Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) must make a piloting skill check (automatic ejection).
Needs 3 [2 (ejecting) + 1 (automatic ejection)], rolls 7 : succeeds.
The pilot ejects safely!
*** Heavy Strike Fighter Meteor-U (Federated Suns (Air Support)) DESTROYED by ejection! ***
Possible critical hit (Damage threshold exceeded); needs 8, rolls 8 : Possibly out of control!
Possible critical hit (SI damaged); needs 8, rolls 4 : no effect.
So it seems like it is new behavior that pilots eject from fighters when the SI is destroyed. Is this expected behavior?
