A question for Steve on torpedoes

[Karg]

Hi Steve, I Started to run my 1st combat with spacedock rules last nite and i have a question.

If you fire a single Torpedo Launcher with a spread of any number of torpedoes, is it automaticaly a Multifire attack?

And if not, how do you determine the # of torps in the spread that hit and is damage then full damage per torp that hits

Thanks

How you adjudicate multiple torpedoes depends on how you choose to fire them.

Typically, firing multiple torps would be a Multifire attack.

However, if a character were willing to accept the Multiple Action Penalty, he could fire each one individually. It might look like a rapid burst of torpedo fire, but in game terms it's a bunch of separate actions. (In short, it's a "special effect," in HERO System terms ).

Does that answer your question? If not, post a follow-up and I'll see if I can clarify.

Yep that did steve, I had handeled it as a single action for the tube fired spread with a spread of 10. Wanted to make sure i handled the rules right

Thanks
