Mini beams

[spellscape]

Hi all

In rules - .... just like Beam but does not gain ability to score multiple hits with every AD... (page 18 Rules)

I can't understand what exactly does this mean.

It means that treat is as a beam for all special rules with the exception that you don't get to continue rolling to hit once you score a successful hit.

Beam Example 1, Ship A has a 1AD Beam , fires on Ship B who has hull 4.
Dice roll= 4. So it hits.
Then you roll again, Ship A 1AD Beam, fires on Ship B, BUT this time needs a 5 to hit.
If you roll a 5, you reroll again but this time needing a 6.

Mini-Beams Example:
Ship A has a 1AD Mini-Beam, fires on Ship B who has a hull 4.
Dice Roll=4. So its a hit.
Firing Over. Mini-Beams Do Not reroll like Beams (Example 1).

lets make it simple.
It has the traits listed, ie AP, roll the dice using the traits listed, it can't be intercepted. Thats really the key difference between it and other weapons

Plus it gains the anti-fighter trait when firing on aux craft within 4". Note this does not count as anti-fighter against ships, so White Stars etc still get their dodge.

The same, and by definition it's always "this year" so i technically have an infinite time to do them. Just like Zathras, now if only I could find the right tool :lol:
