I have today received the hardback ACTA - SF Manual and I have some questions:
1. Page 7, Attacking - It states "Each weapon system may only fire at one target at a time - you may not split Attack Dice up between different targets". However, on 18, Splitting Fire it states "If a weapon other than a plasma torpedo has more than one Attack Die, a player may choose to split his fire, allocating different Attack Dice to different targets that are within range and fire arc". Which of these statements is correct?
2. Page 8, Critical Hits - Reading the example given with a Federation Heavy Cruiser it says "So, for example, a Federation Heavy Cruiser receives a critical hit to its impulse drive from a phaser. It gains a critical score of 1 on the impulse drive, causing and extra point of damage and is reduced to a maximum speed of 10". However, when you look at the table for the impulse drive, under Critical Score 1 it shows extra damage of 0. Later in the same paragraph it states that a Critical Score of 2 on the Dilithium Chamber table gives 4 extra points of damage, whereas the table states only 1 point of damage. Which is correct.
I am pretty sure there are more examples, which I will attempt to post when I come across them. So far though, it's looking good, nice one guys!
