Evasive Action

+2 ship Evasion when taking evasive manoeuvres; halve collision damage once per encounter.

The character can push a vessel to its limits under fire. When the character declares evasive manoeuvres during ship combat, the ship gains +2 to its Evasion value (which enemies must overcome with Gunnery). Once per encounter, the character may halve collision or ramming damage dealt to their vessel.

Notes

Combat Action / Effect Script Id: Evasive Action

Special: Evasive manoeuvres typically reduce the pilot's offensive capability (GM discretion). The Evasion bonus lasts as long as evasive manoeuvres are maintained. The collision damage reduction applies to damage dealt to the character's vessel, not to damage dealt by it.
