Build:Klingon Targeting Periscope
9.20 Klingon Targeting Periscope
Cost: 3 SUs for most; 10 SU for ships equipped with a Class Delta TA/T/TS or better
Power Requirement: 1 Power per round
Some Klingon ships, such as the older D12 variant of the B’rel class Light Warship, have special targeting “periscopes” which allow the user (typically, the captain) to fire the ship’s weapons with greater accuracy. The periscope lowers itself in front of the user’s chair until its bottom viewport becomes level with the user’s eyes; it takes one round for the periscope to deploy. Once deployed, it provides a +10% bonus to the vessel’s Shipboard Systems (Tactical) Tests to hit targets. However, because it requires the user’s complete attention, he suffers a -10% Test Result penalty on all other Tests he makes in any round in which he uses it (except for initiative Tests).
A ship may have more than one targeting periscope, but can never receive more than a +10% Test Result bonus from them regardless of how many scopes it has.
