Topic: Question re: suicide shuttle saving throws

Does a suicide shuttle still get its saving throw when hit by an ESG defensive burst or a Tholian web snare, or is it just toast?

Also - merely a matter of curiosity - why was ESG Anti-Hellbore mode not included? Too fiddly?

Yes.

Pretty much. But it is easy to implement for those who would like to. The targeted ship may expend 1PP from its ESG to cancel one point of damage inflicted by a Hellbore.

Yes.

I'm sorry, Daniel, but I am unsure whether that means "Yes, it gets its saving throw" or "yes, its just toast." I am guessing it is "Yes, it gets its saving throw." Let me know if I'm wrong.

I'm going to use this. Given the proximity of Hydran and Lyran territory, and their traditional enmity, it makes sense that the Lyrans would have developed something to counter the Hydrans most powerful weapon.

Yes it keeps its saving throw.
