Hi. I'm looking for a bit of mechanics clarification about the Sensor Packages.

1 - Does everything in the sensor packages (the VPP, the MegaScale and the Radio Range PSL) apply when firing your ships weapons? I guess the real question is do the ship systems use the Radio sense to attack?

2 - When switching the VPP in combat, does it require a Power Skill roll as stated in FREd 209? If so, who rolls it, the ship or the sensor operator? Is it acceptable to simply require a SysOps roll from the operator?

Thank you for your time.

1. You'd apply either the MegaScaling or the RSLs, not both. Otherwise the sensors would be way too powerful. ;)

2. Have the operator make a Systems Operation roll to switch the VPP.
