| - | The Cannon is a direct fire weapon and must have facing and line of sight to come to bear on the target. The Missile Bay is indirect so it just needs any external facing to let the missile out (see page 106). The Cannon configured to Fusion mode needs facing and line of sight to a target hex and then deals indirect damage to everything in range and line of sight of the explosion it generates. Although technically a Science-based module, the Teleporter can also deliver ordinance or boots on the deck to an enemy ship. Its use is covered in [[Teleporter|page 142]]. | + | The Cannon is a direct fire weapon and must have facing and line of sight to come to bear on the target.

| To make a hull check anybody rolls two dice. A Hull Stabilizer Cargo Bay item allows you to reroll one of the dice. Any character on board the ship may spend Luck to reroll a hull check die. You can keep rerolling as long as your Luck holds out. If the ship runs out of Luck and hasn't rolled high enough (or if it can't roll high enough) the ship explodes and all aboard suffer 10 dice of damage and become spacewalkers. | To make a hull check anybody rolls two dice.

This, a Size 5 ship would deal 5 dice in its hex, 4 dice one hex out, 3 dice two hexes out and so on.
