Particularly relevant to weby's design: under Wait (Point Defense) on Spaceships p. 53, it says, "You can opt to use only some of your RoF; if so, you may attack again with unused shots against further incoming ballistic attacks before the start of your next turn." That seems to imply there is no penalty for splitting your shots between incoming ballistic attacks. Is anyone aware of any reason to think otherwise? Would be good to be clear on before I try to write up some scripts to automate the resolution of an insane several-hundred-drone battle.
