Not all vehicle combats occur in the middle of nothing. Sometimes obstacles, islands, buildings, astral asteroids (astraloids), etc. can present extra challenges, provide cover or concealment, etc. In such cases, a vehicle (or vehicles) could lay in ambush behind cover, instigating a fight at closer range than the traditional "Out of Range". | |||
GM's are encouraged to provide detailed settings for vehicle combats, if only to add color, however, it is recommended that such settings have very simple rules, if any. Cover and concealment, minor penalties to specific stations while near certain obstacles, etc. can add flavor, if used in moderation. | |||
