Shield Hit [gunner]
Starships of the Galaxy, page 28.
This maneuver allows you to target an opponent’s shield generators, reducing their effectiveness with a successful hit.
Time: Standard action.
Target: A single vehicle within weapons range.
Make a Pilot check: If your attack roll exceeds the target’s Reflex Defense, in addition to dealing normal damage to the target (reduced by DR and SR, the tqarget also has its shields reduced in power by the attack. The amount by which the target’s SR is reduced depends on by how much the attack roll exceeds the target’s Reflex Defense:
0-4: Target’s SR is reduced by 5. An engineer aboard the target ship may use the recharge shields action to restore the loss to shield rating as normal.
5-9: As above result, except the ship’s SR is reduced by 10.
10 or more: As above result, except the ship’s SR is reduced by 15.
Special: The damage from your attack is reduced normally by the target’s DR and SR; apply the effect of shield hit asfter resolving damage. If you damage exceeds the SR fro the target’s shields, its SR is reduced by 5 in addition to any effect from this maneuver.
