Topic: Spinal Mount info on SXCA?

I designed a few ships, then made one with a spinal mount.  But no SM information about how it works, it is a weapon after all, shows up on the printable sheet.  I know, SMs are all the same except for range, but would be nice to display the To-Hit, PEN, DMG (undestroyed hull), and arcs, as well as the ranges which do vary, without having to refer back to the rules.

Well, so I copied the printable sheet into a new worksheet, and used the lower right corner (removing the hex diagram) to display SM information if one is added to the ship.

Btw, what is the use of that hex display?  It doesn't even show what the arcs are.

Oh, another question:
Do Long Range Sensors work with Spinal Mounts?  I would think so, just want it confirmed.

Diagram: It's for use when you're moving around your shield strength as per the "Directional Shielding" and/or "Screens" optional combat rules on p.39 ~ 40 of Starmada X

Perhaps. It should be a simple 'fix' to the spreadsheet to have it do such a thing.

The hex display is used for optional rules such as screens and directional shielding, or it can be used for home-grown vector movement.

Yes.
