What happens on a successful Fusion Cannon attack

1. The effect generated by a Fusion Cannon is of a ship explosion of a size equal to the Guns power of the firing ship. The explosion is treated in all respects as a ship explosion (BCR page 39)

If the shot misses the target hex, it detonates short by a number of hexes equal to the amount it missed by Module must have an outer facing. Open sides on the module increase its arc of fire for non-Tentac ships. Fusion Cannons can shoot missiles.

Shields
Fusion Cannons are affected by shields. Roll damage dice+shield dice and remove the shield number of highest dice.
