Suppression Fire Clarification

[Dust Raven]

Based upon your previous reply, would the following be true?

 

I have an Autofire 5 shots attack and a SPD of 3. I decide to use Suppression Fire to fill a 2 hex doorway. I'm firing 5 shots, per hex, per Segment, so I'm firing a total of 40 shots per each Phase I maintain Suppression (5 shots, x2 hexes, x 4 Segments per Phase).

 

Assuming this is true, may the attacker declair he's using fewer shots per hex to conserve Charges/END?

No, you're misinterpreting what I wrote (or I may have misread your question). You fire the maximum shots into the defined area as a whole, not into each hex line. Suppression Fire does not allow characters to increase the rate at which they can Autofire an attack. In the case you describe, you'd fire 5 shots per Segment, with those five shots filling a defined area of two hex lines.

 

Re: the second question, see #1 in my previous answer.
