Abilities
Called Shot
Level: Variable
Effect: The gunner can make an attack with a no penalty to attack. If he hits, the damage is increased by a variable amount (low on low levels, high on high levels).
Difficulty/Frequency: Moderate/Sometimes
Make 'em Dance
Level: Medium
Effect: The gunner designates a direction relative to the targeted ship. If the ship moves to this direction before the next action of the gunner, it is hit by gunfire and takes normal damage. No attack roll is necessary, but using this powers counts as firing the used weapon for that round.
Difficulty/Frequency: Easy/Often
Strafe Shot
Level: Variable
Effect: The gunner gains a variable bonus to attack (low on low levels, high on high levels) and if the target is hit, it takes normal damage.
Difficulty/Frequency: Moderate/Sometimes
Target Lock
Level: High
Effect (Success): The gunner gets an additional attack against the locked target. (If this action can be made in addition to attacks during the gunner's action it grants a bonus until the next action of the gunner. If this ability uses an attack action, the bonus lasts until the gunner locks another target or until he dismisses the lock.) The gunner may only lock one target at a time.
Difficulty/Frequency: Easy/Often
Scan Ship
Level: Low
Effect (Success):The gunner must be in close or point blank range to the scanned ship. The gunner gains detailed information about the ship (like crew, cargo, cloaked information, maybe depending on success level). The gunner may also lock the target if the wishes to. If he does not lock the target any existing lock is not lost.
Difficulty/Frequency: Moderate/Sometimes
Track Ship
Level: High
Effect (Success): The gunner may track the route of a ship over long distances (e.g. hyperspace travel). The longer the distance the more variation is in the tracks, but even when the target has traveled the longest routes, the gunner should be able to point out the solar system the target is in. This ability can only be used on targets that have been locked by the gunner.
Difficulty/Frequency: Hard/Seldom
Sensor Defection
Level: Variable, starting at medium
Effect (Success): The gunner uses the sensors to actively hamper the sensors of enemy ships. Any attempt to scan, lock or otherwise use the sensors of an enemy ship on the gunner's ship has a variably (starting at moderate) increased difficulty. The effect may be sustained easily.
Difficulty/Frequency: Moderate/Sometimes
Cloak Ship
Level: Medium
Effect (success): The gunner disables active sensor action and uses mainly passive sensors to hide the ship from the sensors of other ships. It becomes more difficult to establish a lock on the gunner's ship and if the ship has been hidden by other means (like the pilot's "Delve into the debris cloud" ability) the effects of this ability last one turn longer, even if the ship is again in line of sight or detectable by sensors.
Difficulty/Frequency: Hard/Seldom
All Out Attack
Level: High
Effect: The gunner fires all weapon systems of the ship simultaneously at a single target. He gains no bonuses for attack or damage from this ability (but from others).
Difficulty/Frequency: Difficult/Rare
