Default Re: Some of my ideas and questions

That's exactly what I mean. Test it well.

There was a thread a while back about to-hit penalties on weapon mounts causing negative to-hits, and crashing the game.

If you're using the To-Hit-Decrease ability, then it should be OK that way.

The other problem that WILL occur, is with the mount as well as with the WMG-style accuracy bonus (of 30%).
If your weapon has a +15% accuracy bonus, and your enemy has a +250% ECM device, you would expect your accuracy to be the minimum, 1%. But it is not! The actual accuracy is 16%.
Similarily, if you have a mount penalty of 30%, and a +250% combat sensor, your weapon accuracy is only 70%.

I will check into the details of this further when I get home.
