(Answered) IO - Hyper laser critical hit
« on: 31 July 2024, 22:23:37 »
In Interstellar Ops, the entry for RISC Hyper Laser lacks the "like an ammo explosion" text that most weapons that explode when hit have. Should RISC hyper laser have that text, or is it not meant to inflict two pilot hits when it explodes?

B-Pods similarly lacks the "like an ammo explosion" text for its 2 damage explosion when hit. Is that intentional as well?

BT has often been quite sloppy when it comes to ammo explosion terminology.  Assume any explosion resulting from an item taking a critical hit is a standard ammunition explosion with all the usual effects thereof, unless specifically stated that it is not.

With B-Pods being an external weapon meant to explode, and one-shot to boot, that's honestly kind of silly and something I'll mark to fix in the future, but RAW that's how it works at this moment in time, unless there's an older answer out there that search didn't turn up.  I'll mark it for errata.
