starship troopers playtest questions.

Hello.
I have a question regarding the arachnid list.
The tanker bug acid spray (FxF) what does the FxF mean? is it the same as FaF in BEWAW

How many bugs can exit a tunnel?
From what I read it's all within a certain distance in inches from the tunnel. But i'm not sure.

If nothing has changed since SST, then the Tanker's fire arc is the full 180 degrees to the front.

The stats for the Arachnid tunnels seem incomplete. In SST it was 10 size points per action (as per model size, e.g. 2 pts per warrior)for normal or camouflaged entrances, 15 for nests and 20 for Bug Central. Model placement is as the tunneling rules.

Also, in SST there was a 15-bug limit on swarms that seems to have been missed from the description, unless that's been changed now (a swarm of 50 warriors would be pretty damn scary with the new reaction limits !)
