OK, so here's my question.
This came up during our last play. I shoot with my big gun of enormous hurt and I'd like to back it up with my little gun of hurt which has the same range. This second gun is however splitted 1 dir/1HtH. Do I get an additonal 1D8 for this little gun? I said, intuitively, no: you only get a an extra D6 for firing with an additional splitted weapon since it's so puny and not so hurty. But I'd like to hear your answer instead Vincent. What do you think?
And on the whole sensor debate: I've played with both variations, that you need sensor to spot and that you don't, and I've noticed that people, and me included, tend to skip sensors when you don't need them to spot in favor of shields or another weapon. But if you have to have a sensor to spot they have a given place in most armies. I haven't really decided which way I prefer yet. The funny thing is that even in games where you don't need sensors to spot, as soon as the sensors get blown away people forget to spot altogether. And if I remind them they just spot me, the bastards. I think I would be better at learning people the game if I didn't play it to win every time. Maybe at the Con.
