 |
|
What exactly does fire control do? Do you add it to your "to hit" dice when firing a weapon with fire control dice?

Yes you do. Take wedge. His starfighter gunnery is 7d and he's using his snow speeder, which has a +1d+2 fire control. So when he shoots, he's rolling 7d+2 to hit, since he has to at least a move action (so has one MAP)..

Unless he's flying at cautious speed, right? Half speed, which is a free action?
In that case, it's a crazy 8d+2! |

True. If he's doing a non-action move, he doesn't get that MAP for worrying about moving..

Or, if someone is just a gunner in a turret, and they perform no other actions, then it's just fire control + skill.

Though one thing i really wish was addressed in the RAW.. WOULD someone being the gunner in a ship doing a FULL dodge itself, be penalized in shooting OUT at someone else?? You would think with the ship duking, doging and otherwise rolling all over the place, NOT only would it be harder to HIT the ship, but it would be harder for those IN The ship firing out, to hit something else..

In theory, yes, I agree. However, for me, it falls into the "Too much to keep track of" category.
If I really wanted to use that, I might say FC dice would be limited by the Maneuverability Dice of the ship, in the case of a full dodge.... a more agile ship would allow more fire control dice to be used.

I have to agree with Nexx here: it would be more realistic but it would also be too much to keep track of for the GM.
And this actually came up in Rebels once or twice. I don't remember which episode it was, but sometime in the first season Chopper was damaged while manning the Ghost's rear turret and Hera told Zeb to get in there because she was about to roll the ship. I remember Zeb getting to the rear turret and saying "I've got you covered, Hera! Roll away!"
So this issue has come up in Star Wars media, if only briefly and subtly.

Technically it also came up in TFA when Ray was fleeing those 2 Ties, with Finn in the gunner seat, and she was dodging all over the place and he was having issues hitting them...

Also true.

That's when you pay extra for a stabilized turret that tracks against the movements of the ship...
Maybe it'd be a simpler fix to just add a flat increase to the difficulty of turret gunners to hit a target when the ship they are on is maneuvering, say a +5 for a regular dodge, and a +15 for a full dodge?

True.. A flat mod would work well...
But "Auto stabilizers" for turrets". Is that a new fan made thing?

Sarcasm does not become you, sir.
Oh, who am I kidding. Yes, it does!

See, I'd chalk the auto-stabilizers as being part of the Fire Control dice, already.
