}> It is for these reasons that (in my campaign) blindfire such as
}>firing around corners does not confer the -2 smartlink modifier because
}>the cross-hair is not sitting over your target, it's sitting over some
}>arbitrary point on the wall betweeen the target and you. A smartgunlink
}>shouldn't help you with targets you can't see.
}
}That's what I ruled too. Shoot at someone who's invisible (spell, hiding
}behind bushes, etc. etc.), and you get the full +8, even if you're using a
}laser sight or smartlink.

Our blindfire rules (house) are even simpler. Take you skill and
roll the dice. Anything above 10 is considered a hit. Randomly select
target. For shooting at multiple targets at full auto (SMG or higher)
we roll skill, every die above 9 is considered a target hit.
(Modified by movement & cover). Admittedly its simplistic, but when
you have two streetsams blasting away at 10+ guards, it takes too
long to go through each individual target #. Smartgun links don't add
to around the corner shots though. As for invisibility, ultrasound +
hearing amp + hearing filter + sprayed burst fire = 1 dead
(previously invisible) mage. Up to 7 now (invisble mages that is) ;)
