Danger Space

I must confess I didn't really miss the full extent of the danger zone, as much as just ignoring all the implications.

Maybe there is something fishy about how they work, and apparantly my stray thought on how that might be checked don't work very well. I'm not totally surprised.

Well, it doesn't really matter in the long run how you figure it - it's just my programmer's brain took exception to the fact that things were different at different scales...

cheers,

I autohit, kind of. With Area Effect Weapons, at least, as opposed to autofire.

For grenades and such, the to-hit determines scatter; any hit by 1+ is a contact hit; a hit by 0 (exact needed) is simply

The Effective Hit Level is 1d6-range bands from Center for non-filling (shrapnel). For area filling (Lasers, plasmas, concussive explosives), I use a x1 for level of hit.

For Autofire, each secondary target is rolled for at +1 DiffMod (non-cumulative) linearly until either hits = bullets or out of danger space or out of Autofire Targets, noting that each roll on a target is an autofire target.
(imagine these on a 1.5m per line grid)
A
B
C
D . . . . . . . . . . . . . .X
E
F
G

X fires at D, with a 1.5m AF3rd DS.
Rolls say, difficult for D. He can either sweep left 1.5m or right 1.5m, or hold on D.
Secondary targets are at formmidable (show by a +)
If he hits with first one, he then declares direction and rolls per target. At 1, he rolls D, E+ or D C+
At two, he rolls: D D+ E+ E+ or D D+ C+ C+
At three, he rolls D, D+ D+, and either E+E+E+ or C+C+C+
In any case, he rolls until out of targets or rounds. Now, if he declared, D, 1, and used a 3m DS... He'd roll sequentially on D, E+ F+ or D C+ B+.
