And, for the love of space ships, if the PHR version gets 8" scan, and better lock value for it's CAW, give the UCM version something to compensate, (up to)three extra shots that are shorter range and a worse hit chance are not nearly a good trade. if they're going to be the same value, and the UCM version has to have a lower scan, give the UCM version D6+3 CAW and 6 PD or something.
maybe it's because I play against PHR so much but it is intense how much harder that that 3+ lock hits than the 4+ lock in CAW. Normally it's fine because UCM ships will have better PD and/or lower point costs, but that's not the case here.
The CAW are equal as the UCM version has more CAW Attacks.
My suggestion to balance the Scan was to give the UCM version and extra point of PD but that may not be enough...
Maybe the UCM version should simpy cost less.
