2 things based on the new beta rules for the space vikings:
1) If I'm playing with them in a campaign and I get an 8 on the refitting chart, does the ship actually gain 1 shield? Adding a point of armor instead is clearly too strong, and there's no real reason their hulls couldn't have shield generators - they just don't usually have the tech or inclination to mount them.
2) Can we a confirmation, do Weak weapons (eg fighter point slug guns) work against armor or not? It's readily apparent how they work if they do work (ie very badly) but the actual new text on armor doesn't say for sure. If armored ships are still supposed to be immune, the text needs to be updated before Fleets of the Fading Suns goes to press.
