Let me start off by saying that my players have thoroughly confused the crap out of me. Help!
Smartlink does not work with a Scope. That makes sense to me. But, how would you handle a Smartlink combined with cyber Image Magnification? I cannot find anything to say that it cannot work together. I figure that if you zoom in, you will still see the smartlink dot of your weapons current target. I do have a problem with the idea that at long ranges holding your weapon steady will be of extreme importance because of your limited visual perspective. So, unless you all have a better or canon solution that I have missed, I have decided that smartlink can only work out to the same range that a laser sight works (50m). Is that a reasonable solution? Or am I way off? |
