Attack with Vehicle Weapon

• Action: Standard Action
• Role: Gunner
• Source: Core

Any gunners (including the pilot, if there are pilot-operated weapons on the vehicle) can make an attack with their vehicle weapon as a standard action. The maximum range and the range modifiers of a vehicle weapon attack depend on the weapon used (see Weapon Ranges).

Capital Ships

Capital ship weapons are designed for long-range bombardment against large or immobile targets, and they have difficulty tracking very small enemies. When attacking a target of less than Colossal size, a vehicle that is Colossal (frigate) size or larger takes a -20 penalty on its attack rolls. Point- defense weapons are specifically designed to attack smaller targets and do not take these penalties.

Trained Pilot

If you are trained in the Pilot skill, you gain a +2 bonus on all attacks made with any vehicle weapon identified as being crewed by the pilot.
