Can you target a system during ship to ship combat or are all damage locations always random?
Hi there!
You actually can, sort of.
I believe there are rules for this in High Guard I think... Or maybe Scoundrel.
I remember taking a voluntary -4 on to hit, and declaring what you are aiming for.
Then, if you hit, and roll for hit location, your Die result is adjusted 1 point towards your target.
So for example you want to hit the enemy's M drive to keep them from running, you'd take the -4 and declare your target. Then after you hit, roll for hit location.
You rolled a 5, but needed a 4? Your result is adjusted 1 point down so it becomes 4.
Would you have needed a 6 it would have adjusted upwards.
But if the difference is more than 1 it wouldn't have mattered, you would hit close but not close enough.
Hope this helps.
