I've amassed the materials to play the very first (1988) rules, and I've got a couple of clarifications I hope someone here will be able to help with:
Can multi-barrelled weapons cause multiple damaging hits, or would say an autocannon(4) scoring two hits knock down only one void shield, or roll only once for damage? I've been playing each hit rolled on a to-hit dice=one roll for damage, but on close reading this isn't actually stated. Maybe multi-barrelled weapons should only cause one damaging hit per volley?
Following fire: If I shoot a plasma gun (3) and score at least one hit, would I roll all three to-hit dice again, or just one dice per hit scored? I think it's probably correct to roll all the dice again, otherwise sustained fire mode for plasma guns seems like it'd never get used, but the rulebook isn't totally clear.
