Angle Deflector Shields [attack pattern]
Starships of the Galaxy, page 25.
This attack pattern focues deflector shields in a particular direction, making it easier to absorb incoming attacks coming from a certain angle.
Time: Swift action.
Target: You (and special; see text).
Make a Pilot check: If you succeed on a DC 15 Pilot check, you successfully activate this maneuver. While you are engaged in combat, choose a single other vehicle or space station as the target of angle deflector shields. Your SR is considered doubled for the prupose of absorbing attacks originating from that particular target. However, your SR is considered halved (round down) for the purpose of absorbing attacks from all other opponents.
You may change the target of this attack pattern as a swift action.
Special: You must be piloting a vehicl that has SR 5 or more to use angle deflector shields.
You may choose to deactivate this attack pattern with a swift action. The maneuver remains spent if you do so.
