To make the combat system more GOI I was thinking about weapons and ranges where there would be 4 ranges
Boarding, Close, Mid-range, and Long. Each weapon would have a multiplier for each range.
Gat 1/2/1/0
Morter 0/2/1/0
Flame 2/2/0/0
Banshee 0/1/1/1
Flack 0/0/1/1
Merc 0/0/1/2
Mines 0/3/0/0
The fight check instead of being crew based would be measured by the crew on the guns. So if you are resolving an encounter at long range with a 2 gunner skill crew on the merc and a 1 gunner skill crew on the flack you would be rolling d6+5. However if that same encounter was resolved at close range your crew would be rolling with a +0 modifier because those guns are not effective at that range. Items like lesmok, or incindiary ammo could change the range modifier of a gun.
If an encounter is resolved at boarding rage (heresy I know). Then the entire crew can use their gunnery skill otherwise you are stuck fighting with the crew and guns on a side of the ship the captain selects to face the enemy.
