Brendan,
     Somewhere in the distant back of my fast fading memory is the 
thought the rules require the use of a FCS when firing a Kra'Vak
scattergun at another ship.
(MT, P26, under "Scatterguns", 2nd Para.)
 
As the guy who has championed the 3:2 ratio, I must say
that my group has been doing well thusfar.   As yet no 'suprise'
design have made an appearence to upset the play balence of
the Kra'Vak/Human games.
 
Congratulation to the Victors and those who made the effort.

Bye for now,
John L.
