tue.  A meat shield drawing fire away from me increases my odds of not needing a medic.

and, they seem to want to 'prove their toughness' by shouting, shooting two guns at once, and generally drawing all sorts of attention to themselves.

so, give the devil his due...

hire one show-off, and you'll save yourself a huge amount of newyen on armor costs.

that's right!

aim a couple of times, and it's amazing how far your ammo with streach.

(once had a hacker with a pistols of 4. killed more stuff than anyone else, because he would aim three times before every shot.)

I let other people take the hits.  Me, I'll just sit back and take potshots into the fray. (From behind cover, of course.)  I was in a Star Wars one-shot awhile back and we were attacking a landing platform (No ship around, fortunately).  Myself (I was playing a scoundrel/outlaw tech) and the Noble ran under the platform, climbed up and took potshots at the goons.  There was someone on the other side doing the same, and I think I actually did more damage than the Jedi. (That whole sneak attack bonus and all.)  :)

even if you are all standing in a line though, no cover, no bonus; you can do more with one shot than most people can do with 5 if you take the time to aim.

Yeah, you can negate those pesky penalties for a called shot.

or, better yet, get your target numbers so low that ever die is a hit.

which, naturally, can bring even a weapon that does L damage up to Deadly.

and, because you don't have to worry about deviding it between 50 diffrent shots; you can dump your entire combat pool into one big lump.

Although it does help having a little extra to dodge in case somebody does decide to shoot you.

depends on if you called in a high threat responce, and if you are a 'platinum' customer.

they won't breach into corp teratory, but if you are off of corp grounds, they'll drop into the middle of a gang war to pull you out.
