Distributed Fire Control

System: Distributed Fire Control
Mass: 3
Cost: 30

  The distributed fire control enhances the standard fire control
system by giving the ship the ability to transmit and receive fire
control telemetry.  A DFC may be used as though it were a normal fire
control system.  If desired, any ship with a working DFC system may
choose to use it to receive fire control telemetry from any DFC on any
other friendly ship that has not yet been used.  The DFC receiving the
telemetry cannot itself target any ships that turn.  Any DFC's that
provide telemetry to a ship cannot later be used to provide telemetry
to another ship or to the ship's own weapons.  Needle beams cannot be
guided by remote DFC telemetry.
