Accuracy and Burst Fire

Burst Fire:   

Ordinary Shot- 1 round, 10 TU
Short Burst- 3 rounds, 20 TU
Medium Burst- 10 rounds, 30 TU
Long Burst- 20 rounds, 40 TU
Aimed Shot- 1 round, 20 TU


With weapons capable of burst fire, you progressively decrease accuracy with the weapon, minus an additional recoil penalty, but increase the number of rounds fired, thus drastically increasing potential hit chance and damage. So for instance, if you fire an ordinary shot, it consumes 1 round, and you have an ordinary chance to hit. If you fire a 3 round burst, you lose 33% accuracy per shot, however you fire three shots, thus giving double the accuracy than if you had fired a single shot. This costs the same amount of TSU's. However, you only increase the accuracy to hit, not the number of times you hit the target; however, you can target multiple enemies based on your range of effect, subtracting each individual target as a negative modifier to your accuracy score.


Ordinary Shot- An ordinary shot costs 20 TU's, and fires 1 round at the enemy. As you are not spending a significant amount of time to aim, and instead are spending it on other activities, your accuracy is otherwise compromised compared to an aimed shot.

Aimed Shot- An aimed shot costs 40 TU's, and fires 1 round at the enemy. While expensive in TU's relatively speaking, the shot improves accuracy over an ordinary shot by double. While less TU efficient than the other attacks, it increases the accuracy of the shot dramatically.

Short Burst- A short burst costs 20 TU's, and fires 3 rounds at the enemy. As you are not spending a significant amount of time to aim, and instead are spending it on other activities, your accuracy is otherwise compromised compared to an aimed shot. However, compared to an ordinary shot, you have a 150% chance increase to hit the target. This is roughly equal to each shot possessing 50% of the accuracy of the original ordinary shot. You do not increase damage with each additional shot, just accuracy. Furthermore, you can target a 3 x 3 area with a shot as this, subtracting X amount per targets in the area.

Medium Burst- A medium burst costs 30 TU's, and fires 10 rounds at the enemy. As you are not spending a significant amount of time to aim, and instead are spending it on other activities, your accuracy is otherwise compromised compared to an aimed shot. However, compared to an ordinary shot, you have a 200% chance increase to hit the target. This is roughly equal to each shot possessing 20% of the accuracy of the original ordinary shot. You do not increase damage with each additional shot, just accuracy. Furthermore, you can target a 5 x 5 area with a shot as this, subtracting X amount per targets in the area.

Long Burst- A long burst costs 40 TU's, and fires 10 rounds at the enemy. As you are not spending a significant amount of time to aim, and instead are spending it on other activities, your accuracy is otherwise compromised compared to an aimed shot. However, compared to an ordinary shot, you have a 300% chance increase to hit the target. This is roughly equal to each shot possessing 6.67% of the accuracy of the original ordinary shot. You do not increase damage with each additional shot, just accuracy. Furthermore, you can target an 8 x 8 area with a shot as this, subtracting X amount per targets in the area.
